What do I need to take my dog to Ireland (Southern) from England?

Question

I have read on some websites that a pet passport is not needed, but I don't know what is.

Answer 1

A good strong lead.

Answer 2

You'll probably need a pet passport (seriously) and your dog might have to go into quarantine for a while (not sure about dogs coming from Britain). Ring up the custom offices and they can give you a lot more information than I can =)

Answer 3

Nothing.  Just put him in the car and get the ferry over.

Answer 4

You don't need anything at all. As far as animals are concerned, the British Isles are regarded as a common travel area and no documents or inoculations are required.
