EU pet passport requirements for international pet travel

Pets moving inside the EU often use an EU pet passport issued by a veterinarian. Pets entering from outside the EU typically need an official health certificate instead. Pet Passport stores copies of your papers. It does not issue an EU passport or a government document.

Dogs, cats, and ferrets moving under EU pet rules. Member states and species can add extra steps, including tapeworm treatment for dogs entering some countries.

Checked 1 October 2026 against European Commission: Movement of pets. Rules change. Confirm them again before you fly.
