The advent of Pet Passports and changes to quarantine procedures means that it is much easier to travel from the UK to the Continent with your pet. As always it is crucial that you check the rules in your destination country as well as any restrictions that may be placed on your pet returning home.
France is a popular place for UK residents to take their dogs due to the relative ease of getting there. Dogs are NOT allowed on the Eurostar, but they are allowed on most French trains so once you arrive in France either by ferry or plane you and your dog are able to travel freely. Traveling with a dog is an excellent way to explore a new city, you end up meeting lots of locals and discovering new parks. Sitting outside at a Parisian cafe with a dog in tow is a great way to feel like a local!
Please do not try to act too much like a local in Paris, the city has a lot of dog poo on the streets. If you do bring your dog on vacation with you please pick up after your dog regardless of the local customs.
