Holidaying with Dogs

We might have found our next must go to destination with our pooch! Penzance Helicopters are now flying dogs across to the Isles of Scilly🥳 Not sure we’ed take our old pooch, (although not much phases him being a Labrador), I’d just worry about his age, but could be a doer when we finally get back out doing long holidays….

Overnight sleeper to Penzance, Helicopter to St Mary’s, couple of weeks on Scillies then fly back, train home👍

That’s better than the Scillonian which is no good for humans or dogs 🤢

Oh yes🤢

We took our two dogs across to Mull and Iona via CalMac Ferry, from Oban. They were allowed out of car and up onto the top deck, but not inside the lounge area. It was a lovely day, so it didn’t bother us, in fact quite a few fellow travellers stopped to say hello and give them a pat. They were as good as gold, we all had a really good time. Back in the early 90’s. We have done a few more CalMac journeys, Girvan to Dunoon, Portavardie to Tarbert, but these were relatively short, so they stayed in car, with us close by.

Same here. We’ve taken dogs to Mull, Bute, Moidart and IoW but they’re all relatively short crossings. We didn’t inflict Ireland (🤢), the Outer Hebrides, Northern Isles or IoM (another🤢) crossings on them. People generally seem to want to speak to dogs on ferries 🐕‍🦺

 I think quite a few posters here should re familiarise themselves with the community guidelines.

Talking of leaflets, even if one isn't offered at book in there will always be a plentiful supply of club leaflets for dog owners, bollard electrics etc etc in the site information room.
