Pet travel airlines





It is now easy to take your pet with you when traveling from one EU country to another. For cats, dogs and ferrets, there is a harmonized European legislation for most EU countries, so all you need to do is make sure your pet:

  • vaccinated with rabies vaccine is available;
  • an electronic transponder or readable tattoo;
  • has a pet passport can be issued by your veterinarian.

To enter Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the UK need an additional test to confirm that the rabies vaccination was effective. Also, you may need treatment against ticks and tapeworm.

You can use the pet passport when traveling to or from one of the neighboring countries where the rabies status in the EU is the same (ie, is considered under control). These countries are: Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland and Vatican City.

Before transporting your pet, the Commission recommends that you always consult your veterinarian about the country of destination and individual circumstances.

  • make sure you have all the necessary vaccines, certificates and entry permits for the country to which travel;
  • make sure the animal is comfortable, has enough space in the cage and its box and has enough food and / or water for the entire trip.
