Robbie34 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I really don't understand your question. With a dog in the boot...? Surely you don't intend to travel with your dog incarcerated in the boot of your car?If you mean do you need some form of cage or other in your car to transport your pet, then the answer is no. I travel to France regularly, as I have a holiday home here, and my dog stays in the car. As I have an estate car I have a dog guard, and he has his duvet on the floor behind the rear seats. When I carry a load the rear seats are folded down and Charley has his duvet immediately behind my seat in which case the dog guard is not used. Both of these apply when the car is on the ferry. I do have a dog harness, but he is Houdini like and always manages to escape from it so I have just given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bex2www.expat-equestrian.com Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 When we came over about a year ago we had two dogs and a cat in the back of my old style fiesta. We put the back seats down so the dogs had the run of the car whilst on the ferry, and the cat in the cat cage and the ferry peeps were fine with that.

Dick Smith Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Mind you, a little bit of commonsense planning helps. We saw a woman let her cat out of the box in the ferry queue at Caen. It went berserk. She got out of the car. She then had to get back in the car without letting a frantic cat out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CFrost Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Hi, I asked this question some time ago and found I didn't need a dog guard. However, I have invested in a dog harness for her own safety when travelling ( emergency stops etc!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 'I really don't understand your question. With a dog in the boot...? Surely you don't intend to travel with your dog incarcerated in the boot of your car?' .............................The last time I took my dogs to kennels, I was amazed to see an old boy open the boot of his saloon car to put in his dog. The kennel owner didn't bat an eyelid, nor, it must be said, did the dog!!! Speaking of unusual travelling spaces, a friend bought her husband a donkey for his 40th birthday, and had it delivered in the back of a Post-office van, all tied up with a red ribbon!!! (they both work for La Poste!)RegardsChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
