Don't leave your pet behind
Following an increase in transportation of pets on its North Sea route, leading ferry operator Stena Line is looking to woo further pet owners with a brand-new step-by-step video guide to taking pets on holiday to Holland by ferry.
The short guide explains the legal and practical requirements of taking pets to Holland and back into the UK.
Featuring dog owner Jason Towler and his Jack Russell Eddie, the video demystifies the government’s Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) and explains the five prerequisites of taking a pet to Holland. Defra developed the scheme in 2000 to enable pets - specifically dogs, cats and ferrets - to re-enter Britain without quarantine.
Lars Olsson, Stena Line’s commercial manager for travel on the North Sea, said, “Having noted the increasing importance to our passengers of bringing their pets, Stena Line recognised the need for a simple guide which visually sets out the official governmental and logistical requirements of taking a pet dog or cat abroad.”
