Vaccinations
Description:
Rabies Vaccine Requirements per EU 576/2013 Annex III
- Rabies vaccines must be administered by an authorized veterinarian.
- All pets must wait at least 21 days, or the time designated by the rabies vaccine manufacturer prior to traveling to the port of entry.
- For PRIMARY rabies vaccination: The first rabies vaccination your pet gets after its microchip implantation or after any lapse in coverage is a 'primary' rabies vaccination according to EU rules.
Certifications
Description:
The EU has two versions of the pet health certificate: the 'non-commercial' and the 'commercial.'
- The health certificate must be issued by an Accredited Veterinarian and endorsed by the USDA.
- The endorsement must happen within 10 days of your pet's arrival in the EU for 'non-commercial' health certificates.

Your pet must have a working microchip (also called a “transponder”) before getting its rabies vaccination for travel to the EU.
