Holidaying with pets – the breed of travel that continues to grow

Holidaying with a pet is one of the fastest-growing trends in the travel market. It became cheaper and easier to travel abroad when new, simpler rules were introduced in January 2012 and now many dogs, cats and ferrets, are chipped and vaccinated and have their own pet passport. It seems that a holiday just isn’t complete without the family’s furry four-legged friend in tow. When it costs between £15 - £50 a day to leave Mutley (or Arthur in our case) behind in a kennel it can be more cost effective too. In 2013, DFDS Seaways transported 42,129 pets across their Eastern channel routes
