Okay, you can go, too.

Queen Mary 2's kennel programme is available on all crossings between New York and Southampton in either direction, and is overseen by a full-time Kennel Master who takes care of responsibilities such as feeding, walking, and cleaning the ship's 12 spacious kennels. Travelling dogs and cats also receive a complimentary gift pack and other animal amenities. The kennels and adjacent indoor and outdoor walking areas are open throughout the day, enabling passengers to spend significant time with their pet. Reservations for the kennels may be made at time of booking, and are based on space availability. Contact Cunard for fees and additional requirements.

So, they go from spacious kennel on the QM2 to quarantine for 3 monthin the UK. Now, THAT's a shock.

I hadn't thought about that. I was just imagining the little doggie deckchairs.

I wonder if the quarantine technically begins onboard?

Actually, if you follow their PETS (http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/factsheet/eufactsheet4a.pdf) program, dogs and cats (and ferrets) entering the UK from the US don't need to be quarantined.

It's even better than I imagined!:D

I bet those cats needed extensive psychiatric care after that photo was taken.

I think having you pet with you is great. I just hope no one get hurt by a dog.
