« Eurostar Pet Policy being challenged by champion for pet’s rights in Britain

- Those of you who travel by rail in Britain are familiar with Eurostar, a rail system owned by Britain, France, and Belgium. Lady Fretwell who championed for the Pet Scheme (allowing pet owners to prepare in advance to bring their pets to Britain thus avoiding quarantine at entry) has taken on the fight to allow pets on board. As stated in TheMoveChannel.com, “Lady Fretwell described the situation as “ludicrous” especially as people and their pets are allowed to travel on trains across the Continent and dog owners in Britain are free to take their pets on the Tube and on regional railways.” Find more here: http://www.themovechannel.com/news/69633316-d659/

Wish I could travel with my pet on trains or buses..
RESPONSE
If you lived in Europe then you could. The US is not as pet friendly in terms of transportation as is most of Europe.

Hi. I live in India and am interested in keeping a French Bulldog Pup. I wanted to ask all u out there if i should go for a pup born in India or one who has been imported. i Have been told by people that one born in India would cope better with the conditions and heat whereas the imported ones would find it hard to acclimatise in India and its heat.
Kindly help. am really distressed abt it as i want a healthy companion.

Your best source of information would be a veterinarian in India.
I want to travel to the UK from the US with my Italian Greyhound. He has a passport and is small, and loves beingin his travel bag.
It is such a long journey for him to get from Brussels or Paris via slow trains and ferries wheras It would be a two hour train journey on Eurostar!
Given the fact that all of his paperwork is Pet Passport approved I cannot understand why this is an issue.
Come on Eurostar. It’s 2 hours on your train. He will not be a problem why put him and us through the pain of trains and ferries and busses and more trains?
RESPONSE
Currently EuroStar is the only train we are aware of that is not allowing pets, another train, car or ferry are the only choices. You mention going to the UK and then you say going from Brussels to Paris. You are aware that the UK requires a blood titre test?
