Hi all.
Next week we are taking the ferry from the south of england to Normandy. The ferry will take 3.5 hours. We are taking our two dogs with us, but the ferry company say the dogs must remain in the car for the duration of the ferry trip. We are not allowed down to the car deck to go check on them, or to stay with them .
The dogs have to be muzzled, but I do not know if this is required for the whole journey, or just so the customs people can check the dogs over etc?
So, my questions are:
has anyone here done this before with their dog/s? how did you find it?
do the dogs have to be muzzled for the whole trip?
I am also concerned that muzzling them whilst unsupervised may be dangerous for them, but otoh, leaving them in the boot of the car, unmuzzled if they are frightened may result in a fight? (we are getting DAP collars for them for the journey though).
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
