Travelling to Guernsey by sea with dogs
It's a dog's life.
A pedigree break by sea for you and your best friend.
At GuernseyTravel.com we want to make it easy for you to bring your whole family on holiday with Condor Ferries. We can recommend the best island package for you and your four legged friend. Plus we can offer top tips for travelling together and making the most of your island break.
Guernsey offers the perfect break for your canine counterpart, being very dog-friendly with open spaces, sea swims and cliff walks. Also, many pubs and cafes offer bowls of water and dog treats to keep everyone well fuelled for their holiday adventures. Aside from the outdoor activities there are some very welcoming accommodations for you to all stay together in comfort.
So pack that doggie bag and let us do the rest.
Travelling with your car
Working with Condor Ferries, from the UK to Guernsey, we ensure that you have a pawsome and hassle-free ferry crossing.
Firstly, when you bring your dog to Guernsey there is no need for a dog passport, you just need your own valid photographic ID. Should your dog be travelling in your vehicle there is no additional charge for your four legged friend.
If you’re travelling by car with your dog, they must stay in your car during the sailing. You are asked to ensure you leave windows slightly open and leave some water for your dog. Visits can be made to the car deck during the sailing when safe and you will need to be accompanied by a crew member.
Travelling as a foot passenger
When you travel as a foot passenger with your dog, they must travel in an RSPCA approved carrier. Pets aren’t allowed in the passenger lounges however your family friend will be well looked after and will travel in a dedicated pet area on the car deck. In this instance there is a £10 charge each way for your pet.
