If you travel by car, as long as you use one of the established ferry companies or Eurostar, you will have no problems. Only thing you would need to know is that the dog (cat,ferret) must be treated for internal parasites and fleas not less than 24 hours and not later than 48 hours prior to entering the UK. For us, that would mean finding a vet somewhere in southern/mid Germany to do this (it must be administered by a vet and entered into the passport and stamped), taking an overnight break and then continuing on to the UK. A small complication, but at least it means I can travel home to the UK with my pets, should I wish.
PS Same goes for train, but you'd be on Eurostar that way (no other option!)
