To allow recovery time (us & Yoki) after the long flight to London we decided to spend 2 weeks in the UK before making our way to Newhaven to board the ferry to Dieppe, France.
On landing at Heathrow Airport, it was approximately 6 hours for Yoki to have her quarantine papers processed, this was all completed by the pet carrier service, Petraveller, that we used before we could pick her up. If your pet is travelling on British Airways, this time is generally much quicker.
Dogs entering the EU from the UK are required to have a Animal Health Certificate (AHA) which needs to be obtained no less than 10 days prior to entering the EU. Yoki was booked into PAWSPORT - the Pet Travel Certificate Vet in Banbury, Oxford shire.

The UK train services, National Rail, allow dogs on a leash, in a small carrier and in sleeper carriages but they are not to be on seats or in the dining car. As we were not travelling with a car on the ferry, we were required to book directly, via the DFDS call center, with the ferries for Yoki. Without a car the only option was an onboard kennel at € 15 for the 4-hour trip.

Euro Star train between UK and France do not allow dogs so our chosen option was train from London to Newhaven and board the DFDS ferries.

On landing in London and to board the ferry we had to show Yoki's:

• pet documents.

• rabies vaccine.

• microchip information.

Key Information Snapshot:

• Eurostar between London & France do not allow dogs to travel.

• DFDS Ferries accommodate dog travel between London & France and the Netherlands.

• Dogs not travelling in cars on the ferry need to be booked into an onboard kennel for €15 for a 4-hour trip.
