It's really not a difficult procedure, I remember years and years ago it was very complicated but it was a piece of cake from recent experiance. Once your pet has got his passport,rabbies shots and the rest of the checks, if you arent aware of them ask your vet or go on the Defra website, they are really good, and check there.

We have travelled Portsmouth-Le Havre,Dover-Dunkerque and Dover-Calais with LD Lines,DFDS Seaways and P&O ferries,all charge a different ammount and have similar but not exactly the same check-in times.A good guide we got our info off is http://www.aferry.co.uk/taking-your-pet-abroad.htm and I have booked on their website before, didn't have any problems. Have also booked through http://www.ferrysavers.co.uk/dunkerque.htm and they were good too.Hope this helps!
