It has been reported in that there has been a significant increase of Pet Passports being issued.
Last year almost 75,000 pet passports were issued. This is a 50 per cent increase on 2010, according to the Animal and Plant Health Agency. In the first six months of this year, 55,000 have already been issued.
So due to this news, Mummy and I were invited to appear on the This Morning show to talk about our travel experiences.
We were on the sofa with Marvin and Rochelle, the hosts of This Morning.
The vet Paul Manktelow was there to give his POV about pet travels.
We hope Eurostar will pay heed to this and make it a lot easier for us to cross the continent. And all those less dog friendly places will pay heed!

We are on a campaign to make Eurostar pet friendly. It will help facilitate a lot of families who want to travel with another member of their family on long holidays. Please help in our campaign to help make pet travel to the continent easier – Pets on Eurostar
But of course there are others who have also limited our travel – the trains of Ireland – we almost could not get to our holiday destination because NO DOGS were allowed on a train.
We also have had some amazing experiences that have been so welcoming to us – thankfully those have superseded the unpleasant ones.

I had wanted to watch the segment on This Morning but was required to fill out a form and it will not accept a postal code from the USA. Bummer
I know! 🙁 A few of us recorded it on our cameras and tried to load it onto YouTube but the copyrights police were on our tails and shut us all down!
