Your pet on the ferry to Newfoundland may be a different issue, depending on which ferry you take( the short crossing or the long crossing).
They do have kennel spaces on the ferry where your pet can stay during the crossing and I think they have to booked in advance.You can visit your pet in the kennels.
We've always taken the "short" ( 6 hours or so) crossing and have left our dog in the vehicle, making sure we walked her a lot before boarding. We left some water with her and as soon as we got off let her relieve herself but she was in no rush and had not drank all the water (We think she slept the whole way)! Note that you cannot go down to the vehicle decks while underway.
I was posted to Gander Newfoundland several times during my military career (and the DW and daughter are Newfies to boot, though my son is not but he lives there now( but born in Ottawa).
Great place to visit but I really do not want to spend any more winters there (or here!).
Things may have changed since we made the crossings a few years ago, best to check the Marine Atlantic web site for details.

Enjoy your trip, I think another trip with my MH is in my future after I retire.

P.S. I just read the pet requirements on Marine Atlantic and you now have to provide your own "plastic" pet carrier (no wire or soft sided carriers). Best option still seems to be to leave your pet in the vehicle.
