BRITTANY FERRIES PET POLICIES HELPFUL TIPS - TRAVELING WITH A PET ON A CRUISE SHIP OR A
FERRY HEALTH CERTIFICATE
A certificate of good health is required indicating that the pet
is healthy enough for travel, is free of diseases communicable
to humans and has been properly vaccinated.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
In many cases, your destination will be another country on the
ferry or cruise line, and it will be necessary that you have the
proper documents to enter that country with your pet. Most
countries have their own version of a veterinary certificate,
sometimes called a Zoo Sanitary Certificate. In addition, some countries require an important permit.
COLD WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
When the weather is very cold the Ferry Line may not be able to
accommodate your pet in one of the pet crates located on the
deck of the ship.
TRANSPORTING YOUR PET ABOARD SHIP
Each cruise and ferry line has different rules regarding the
method of transporting pets aboard the ship.
PET CRATES
If the ferry line allows you to transport the pet in your own
automobile or in your own pet crate, you will need to have a
suitable pet crate. The pet crate must meet certain standards of
quality and construction in order to be taken aboard ship.

Make sure you find the best size crate for your pet
MORE TIPS FOR PET CRUISE SHIP AND FERRY TRAVEL
1. Never give your pet a medical (prescription) sedative prior
to traveling on a ferry or cruise ship. If you have a hyper or
nervous pet, then give it a natural relaxing agent such as
HAPPY TRAVELER.
2. Always purchase your pet carrier well in advance of your trip
so that the pet can get used to it.
3. Be sure to tell the cruise or ferry line you will be
traveling with a pet as they impose restrictions on the number
of pets on a specific sailing.
4. Even though sea travel may be stressful both you and your
pet, both of you will be happier if your pet gets to travel with
you on your trip.
