I would say ferry,as they have pet friendly cabins or kennels where you can visit your pooch and walk it,driving through france is a long way without pets,yes there are pet friendly hotels but you will still look at 30 odd hrs travel.
Others will say take the France route,
pet courier? if you are driving why pay someone else to drive your pets
what the paperwork will be now I dont know

There is only 1 ferry company that sail to Spain and that is Brittany ferries,booking with pets is relatively easy however I am not up to date with the pet passport requirments but it should be on their website

Rare uu can book a dog on the website you'll have to ring in. Be as flexible as possible, portsmouth or Plymouth, and any date. There's little difference between santander and bilbao as long as you have a good sat nav and know how to set it for spain. Drive to almeria atea is around 10 hours, we break journey with a night in pet friendly hotel
Safe journey

I recently used Precious Paws pet carriers who were fantastic and quick transporting my dog. I flew over and she arrived the next day. Lovely people!!
