Make sure your dogs vet signs every page on the passport and a Tate worm from local vets in Spain for the return. We came by the pont Brittany ferry and had our dog in the ferry kennels. Stopped halfway after 4 hours driving  at Madrid Pullman airport hotel as they are dog friendly. Easy enough travels

Yes absolutely the same, a simple antigen test can be done before flight or ferry, 72 hours beforehand and can be obtained at any medical centre in town. They will cost about 20-30 euros. On the return journey a PCR 2 day test requirements for entering UK which code will be on your returning locator form. Most news agents have a printer machine for your form printing, it's all easy done

Don’t leave too late to book appointment - at one point some were booked solid for a fortnight…

Coming from the UK without residency and an EU vaccination certificate, bring an antigen test with you to do before you set off to the UK.
