Pet transport within Europe by road

We are moving from UK to eastern Europe. DDog is flat faced and airlines either won’t take her or it’s extortionate. I’m wondering about pet carriers by road to somewhere like Warsaw from where we could pick her up. Has anyone done this?

There are very limited ways to get your dog across the channel unless you can drive them through on the shuttle yourself (and then drive on).
There is a pet express that will take you and a dog through the tunnel and then you can get a train from Calais.
They can go with you as a foot passenger from Newhaven-Dieppe

I cant imagine that you would want to send your dog on its own for such a long trip by road or train and so:
Drive it all the way going through the tunnel or on a free to France (or Spain or Netherlands etc)
Get a friend to take you over in a car on the shuttle to Calais and then you get a train with the dog
Get the pet express from Ashford-Calais and then a train onwards
Go and a foot passenger from Newhaven-Dieppe and then train

There are other ferry options with a vehicle to countries other than France if that is an option

Thanks GetmyDogtoFrance. That’s certainly an option but I’m less worried about the Channel leg and more about the long drive thereafter (train is an option only for part of way). I understood there were professional pet companies who would do this sort of thing, with right conditions and stops of course.
