Travelling with pets

  • EU rules: your pet needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel, and an EU pet passport (or an EU animal health certificate if you come from outside the EU).
  • Coming from outside the EU, a rabies antibody blood test may be needed months before the trip, depending on the country.
  • You can bring up to 5 pets; more counts as a commercial move with other rules.
  • "Category 1" attack dogs (pit bull types without a pedigree) are banned under French law.
  • Airlines have their own rules (cabin pets usually under about 8 kg with the bag, snub-nosed breeds often refused in the hold): book your pet's place early.
  • Check the rules to come back home too: they can be stricter than for leaving.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
