Suandpete Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Are you sure that you can't fly? The cheapie airlines don't do it but I'm sure Air France or BA would do it - at a price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's ok, forget it.It's going to cost far too much anyway to do it that way.Just been quoted over €1000 to ship my dog from France to the US via a pet transport company. It cost less than that 5 years ago to ship him from Australia to France! Looking at different options, one of them was to fly from Heathrow as there are more flights that will take dogs from there, but getting him there is going to be a nightmare and costly anyway.

ViVienne Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 one of my dogs is a thinking dog for the stupid, she suits me well. Maybe I could get a special harness and vest made up for her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Maybe dress up as a Roma, apparently given €300 to leave France which should go someway towards the transport costs [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 When do you want the dog to go back? Does it have an up-to-date passport? Perhaps a friend can do it?Alternatively, my husband is driving back soon to the UK. He could meet you at Caen or St Malo (we haven't booked the crossing yet and so we don't know where and when). Where does the dog have to go to in the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Parachute is another possibility or ultra lite, or rocket pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly Retired (I am now) Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Make sure all the paperwork, pet passport etc. are in order. Then you could charter a small boat to cross the channel. Get talking to people in a marina and you might even get a free lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre ZFP Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Not so, the movement of animals is restricted to certain approved points of entry/exit and to approved carriers.That's whay for a long while your mutt could go via the tunnel but not say P&OEdit: Whoops, I was replying to Nearly R not WoolyB Quite a different scenario [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
