Hello has anyone taken pets over? How was it? Who did you use?

There have been loads of discussions on this subject so my advice is to use the search facility on the forum so that you gain a mass of information.

thank you. I’m still trying to find my way around this site. Can you point me in the right direction. When I put pets in the search bar I just get strange random threads

The search function is a bit like that on BE, and I don't think there is anyway to search only one country/ subforum, but if you search for <pets spain> (without the < & > ) in the search field in the top right corner of the screen, you will get a long list of hits, and then obviously you would need to pick out the hits from the Spain subforum.

You might try adding "transport" to the search field, and replacing "pets" with "cat" and (separately) "dog".

My reading of the Spain forum is that either driving overland through France or taking the Portsmouth- Bilbao or Plymouth-Santander ferry are popular choices for taking pets to Spain, presumably because of the expense of air-frieghting animals.

If you look on the right hand side of the Spain forum page you will see "search this forum" below your name, private messages etc. Click on this and enter pets and lots of thread will come up on your screen. This is country specific.

I have taken my dogs back and forth from Southern Spain to Scotland via the Pont Avon Ferry in the past and I hate the ferry. The dogs had no problem with the kennels on it, they are top deck most stable location on the ship. Now the trip is always by road and tunnel. Easy drive via motorways and free to stop when needed and eat decent food.
