I love Le Shuttle, it's my favourite way to travel back to the UK, which I did over Christmas/New Year to see family. You drive up, sit in your car for 40 minutes and drive off - there's no faff (unless some overzealous UK border guard asks a bunch of questions on a British passport like how long I'm staying, when I'm going back, do I have accommodation, etc) - if you're early or late they just put you on another train, you can easily take pets (for us two dogs). I'm glad it's there, keeping some kind of physical connection to Europe.

You need to fill in a declaration if you are not going to sell or transfer the ownership of your pet. Dogs must also usually have a tapeworm treatment.”

  To bring a pet to the eu is even more extensive nowadays it requires a health certificate nowadays, common rate for that is about 150£ per Animal.

  this is generally true, of taking any sort of animal or agricultural product across a border. heck, sometimes you encounter this in a domestic situation (e.g. Hawaii and the mainland US). It keeps diseases contained and is also meant to prevent animal trafficking.

  It's always been like that, at least for 10 years - this is nothing to do with Brexit.
