I was thinking about going back to northern ireland from scotland on the stenaline boat that normally i think takes around 2 and half hours,they have different rules depending on routes,this route from scotland and ireland its more relexed in terms of your allowed a small dog on board but has to be in a box or if theres spare kennels left you can put your dog in that and your allowed to visit your dog anytime you want and take it for a controlled walk at lower deck,how do think these dogs would handle the motion of the boat and when hes only about 15 weeks old.

I would have thought he would be ok but I haven't done it myself, mine has been on a ferry but only for 30mins and Moo is a very laid back dog......

Rocky goes out on our boat for a while when we go out into the harbour and he is fine. You could maybe consult your vet also Smile

Are you able to get hold of some DAP spray and put it on a blanket in the kennel for him. DAP has a calming effect and should help him to settle.

I would think he would be okay, but I don't have too much experience with this!
