Some of these ferry companies offer some useful tips on how to travel with your pet. They recommend you bring familiar items to help keep your pets calm on board.

It is essential to bring your own disposable bags, gloves, and cleaning products to clean after your pet. You will also need to bring your own dog food and treats. Depending on the breed and behaviour of your pet they may be required to wear a muzzle on board.
