Vaccinations
Description:
Rabies Vaccine Requirements per EU 576/2013 Annex III
- Rabies vaccines must be administered by an authorized veterinarian.
- Pets arriving in EU Member States that do not meet the EU’s requirements may be refused entry or quarantined upon arrival at the owner’s expense.
Certifications
Description:
The EU has two versions of the pet health certificate: the "non-commercial" and the "commercial." Both health certificate versions require an Accredited Veterinarian to issue the health certificate and then USDA to endorse the health certificate before your pet's travel.
- The endorsement must happen within 10 days of your pet's arrival in the EU for non-commercial health certificates.
- The endorsement can happen any time within 48 hours after the Accredited Veterinarian issues the commercial health certificate.
Microchip
Your pet must have a working microchip before getting its rabies vaccination for travel to the EU.
