Does anyone have experience cruising with a small dog?
Next year we will sail the milk run of the Atlantic: Azores, Canaries, St.
Lucia and lesser antilles in Caribbean, Bermuda.
Some islands have pet restrictions. Are they strictly enforced or can a
small dog go discretly ashore?

The dog gets 6 months in quarantine if you have the cash
to pay the fees in advance, otherwise destroyed.
You get to spend 2 years sharing a cell with an assrapist
called Bubba.

Some Islands have very strict rules which include a quarantine. There is a
very good list on the following web site,

I hope this is what you need. Most British Islands have the 6 months
quarantine rule.

If you break the rule, you may be jailed and fined.

SIX MONTHS? Does that mean you can't see your dog for 6 months?

What part of the word "quarantine" don't you understand?

Jim...think I read somewhere that they were planning to stop that procedure
for animals from countries with reliable animal health certificates.

not quite - you can visit.

My wife's mother married a brit and they moved to Guernsey when she was 8,
taking their dog. Weekly visits on Saturday - and that dog knew when they
were coming, according to the folks who ran the impound...

Considering the problems a lot of places are having with BSE and foot
and mouth, my suggestion is "don't cruise with a dog". It's
disrespectful to try to sneak an animal into a country that has a
problem with it, whether you think it's "fair" or not.

Huh??? Dogs don't have any thing to do with BSE and foot and mouth . Those
are cattle deseases.
