Traveling abroad with our four-footed friend
2010-01-17
Traveling abroad with our four-footed friend is nice, but often hide unpleasant problems with many different requirements of each country on the accompanying documents.
To avoid such trouble here is part of the basic requirements of most countries:
- Valid international passport (for the European Union, he is blue with an indication of the country with a unique number).
- Microchip – The microchip is with a size of rice grain and is implanted subcutaneously in area of the neck. This is done only one time with subcutaneous injection and has a lifetime mark of the animal.
- Vaccination against rabies - it must be made no sooner than a month and no later than one year from the date of travel
- External and internal de-worming - it must be done 24 to 48 hours before departure
The procedures above are only performed by a certified veterinarian, causing them to the passport and then stamped with an official seal (it reflects the name, affiliation and number of physician who is registered at the National Veterinary Service).
We turn your attention that each country has its own requirements. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with them before departure (as much as possible earlier) and run them through a veterinarian. Otherwise, you risk either be returned or your animal to be quarantined, which is quite expensive and uncomfortable procedure, for you and for your animal.
From 09/05/06 is not necessary a certificate to be represented for anti-rabies antibody titer, which has been approved by a laboratory in the EU, when the pet is traveling for non-profit in the EU member states.
Certificate in question continues to be required only from Ireland, Sweden, Malta and the UK.
