Travelling With A Dog On Irish Ferries....
We are travelling over to Ireland in August and taking our little lhasa apso...its her first holiday!
I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience about bringing pets on the ferry...
We know we can leave her in the car but thinking it might be too hot and she might be scared of the noise....there are kennels, which are free of charge, but don't know if she'll be more scared there with the other dogs??
Are we allowed down to the car deck to check on her whilst sailing?
Any advice would be appreciated! thanks xx

P&O Ferries??

Safety rules prohibit ALL passengers from accessing the vehicle decks on ANY ferry crossing to or from a UK port.
If you've got air-con, turn it onto maximum to really cool the car down on your approach to the ferry port, and while waiting to drive on board. Once inside the car decks the car will be out of the sun, so it shouldn't warm up too much. (You should obviously leave the windows partially open once stationary). My friends dogs always seem happier in reasonably familiar surroundings (e.g. with their own beds and blankets in her holiday accommodation) than in totally strange areas. So my instinct would be to leave your canine pal in familiar territory (the car) rather than to put her in a strange kennel.

I stand corrected then. (P&O staff maintain that there's a legal ban on them allowing passenger onto car decks during the crossing. They must simply be trying to justify a blanket rule without needing to otherwise explain it).
