Keep vaccinations up to date
We require current vaccinations and dogs that are spayed or neutered (over 12 months). It keeps every dog on board safe.

A short walk the morning of helps your dog arrive relaxed and ready to settle.

Pack the essentials
Their usual lead and collar, and any medication they need. We provide the fitted life vest.

A lighter breakfast makes for a more comfortable cruise. There is plenty of fresh water on board.

Trust the process
Most dogs settle within the first ten minutes. We move at their pace and never rush a nervous dog.
