Dogs, Cats & Ferrets Regulations
Vaccinations
Rabies vaccination is required for entry to Estonia under EU pet travel rules.
- Primary rabies vaccination must be administered by a veterinarian and be at least 21 days old at the time of entry.
- If arriving from a high-rabies-risk (unlisted) non-EU country, a rabies antibody titration test (≥0.5 IU/ml) performed at an approved laboratory is required; the blood sample must be taken at least 30 days after vaccination and a 3‑month waiting period from the sampling date applies before entry.
Certifications
Pets entering from outside the EU must be accompanied by the EU model veterinary certificate for non-commercial movement, issued by an official veterinarian and endorsed by the competent authority of the exporting country. The owner's declaration of non‑commercial movement must accompany the certificate.
- Use the EU model certificate for dogs/cats/ferrets provided by the Estonian Agriculture and Food Board (PTA).
- Include the owner's declaration of non‑commercial movement together with the veterinary certificate.
Microchip
Pet must be identified with a microchip compliant with ISO 11784/11785, implanted before the rabies vaccination.
Origin Requirements
No origin-specific requirements for this pet.
More Info
Young animals not yet vaccinated against rabies
PTA provides a declaration form for the movement of unvaccinated young dogs, cats and ferrets. Movement of such animals is restricted and only permitted under specific conditions set by the competent authority. Verify eligibility before travel.
EU pet passport (intra‑EU travel)
For movements within the EU, dogs, cats and ferrets are identified and their vaccination status recorded in an EU pet passport issued by an authorized veterinarian in an EU Member State. See PTA guidance on completing the passport.
