ragebe Report post Posted August 23, 2018 Hello all First post for me. Does anybody know if there are exercise areas for dogs at the terminal at Poole? loading the dogs in the car at 0530 and not letting them out until 1045 GMT might be stressful on their toilet needs. I won't be feeding them before departure but suspect they'll still have urges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodwad Report post Posted August 23, 2018 Never sailed from Poole but other ferry ports have no dog exercise areas,we give our dog a very good walk before we get to ferry port so he has cleaned himself.then at ferry port just walk around to let him cock his leg a few times.hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragebe Report post Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Thaks for the reply nodwad. I've tweeted to BF since writing here and the response is no specific area, as with say, Eurotunnel. It's perhaps unfortunate I'm so close to Poole, as I'll be putting the dogs in the car, then arriving shortly after. I'm going to leave 10 minutes earlier than planned, stop at a local park and see if that works for them. Edited August 23, 2018 by ragebe typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khaines Report post Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Ahhh, crossed posts. There are a couple of grass patches , that is about it, at the port entrance, but there is a no fouling sign there. Apart from that, all concrete and traffic areas. My suggestion would be to allow and extra 30 minutes before going to the port to take them to a local park. Baiter is a big dog walking area, that is nearby. Edited August 23, 2018 by Khaines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
