Latest trip to the Vets

Yesterday saw me excitedly driving to my Veterinary Surgery to pick up Betty's and Barney's Passports. Some of you will remember that I'm taking them to France with me for our Summer holiday. We've booked our Eurotunnel passage and have been told to turn up at least an hour early to let the DEFRA staff check the paperwork before our crossing. Does anyone travel with their dog(s) regularly on Eurotunnel/Ferry/Aeroplane and do you have any handy hints and tips for a smooth journey? I imagine we'll look like The Waltons with 6 adults, 6 children and 3 dogs travelling in a three-car convoy.
While grooming Barney over the past week I have noticed that the hair at the tail end of his back had changed texture. It seemed very greasy and much more coarse than normal, it also appeared to be shedding more hair (if that is possible) than the rest of his coat. While our wonderul Vet was checking their micro-chips and finalising the passports I asked her about this.
