August was a record breaking month for Eurotunnel with the largest number of pet crossings to date – a total of 54,501. This takes the total volume of pets carried on Le Shuttle to over 3.7 million since 2000!
Summer 2022 was a record breaker for pet travel as a whole, with over 98,000 journeys across the summer holidays in July and August.
A survey of existing Eurotunnel customers who have travelled with a pet in the last 3 years found that 61.5% regularly take their dog on holiday with them. Many customers said that they choose Eurotunnel over ferry travel for the ability to stay with their pet throughout the journey, making it less stressful. Another key reason is that the journey is by far the quickest method to get to mainland Europe.
Le Shuttle understands the importance of travelling with your beloved companion and enables you to all remain together in your car for the short 35 minute crossing from Folkestone to Calais. Pet receptions are available in both Folkestone and Calais to allow a hassle free 24-hour pet check-in service and any additional assistance you may need before you em-bark on your journey across the channel. Dedicated facilities include exercise areas with artificial grass and complimentary poop bags.
