Friends of mine use the ferry to Bilboa (directly to Spain) with their 2 dogs, they find it much better. Travel via the tunnel is much better than a ferry. Delays at the Ferry port to Calais have been awful even for humans. Travelling through France is lovely, the roads are fantastic, the country...

...side beautiful. If it was me, I'd take my time have a couple of stops at least and include it in your travel plans, it also gives the animals a more relaxed journey. Whatever you do enjoy the trip.

PS. Why are some on here get so wrapped up over the abreviation of GSD from the op is crazy.

I was the poster who questioned what the OP meant by GSD.......

I am not a dog person and not overly interested in dogs but I come on here to try and help anyone (dog owners or not) if I can. So your comment above about getting "so wrapped up" is a bit of an insult! How would a non dog person know what a GSD is?

I glad that the OP has had some good advice.

Thanks so much, I don’t get it either, question was about travel not abbreviation about a pet. Maybe he was bored. Thanks for your help , that’s all I was looking for really. Planning already 💪

Enjoy your trips with your GSD.

I also asked what GSD meant, as I dint know what it referred to, and was only asking to help me understand what the OP was requesting help for...

Nobody's getting hung up, both tebo53 and yself were merely trying to assist, theres no need for your sarcastic comment of "its history now mate let it go"...
