Requirements For Moving Your Pet to the EU
Moving pets to the Netherlands requires compliance with the European Union’s rules and regulation. Here’s everything you need to know.
- Microchipping
Every procedure, however, must be preceded by implantation of an ISO-standard microchip in your pet. This helps in accurate identification and the process is also compulsory before one is allowed in the Netherlands.
- Rabies Vaccination
Bearing in mind that once a pet is microchipped it has to be immunized against rabies. The vaccination must be given at least twenty one days before the proposed journey. If a previous rabies vaccination is past the effective date of the vaccine, the subsequent shot will be considered the initial dose and will furthermore entail the 21 days waiting period. The booster vaccinations should always be updated to ensure compliance is met. Additional vaccinations are recommended for overall health and safety:
- For Dogs: Distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, Bordetella, and parainfluenza.
- For Cats: Calicivirus, herpesvirus (of rhinotracheitis), and of panleucopenia.
- Rabies Titre Test
Another mandatory test is rabies titre (titer) test, required for pets imported to the Netherlands from India. This test makes sure that your pet has enough rabies antibodies to give a positive result. It should be done at least 30 days after the first rabies vaccination. Pets organs can only be tested after three months from the time the blood sample was taken. This waiting period eliminates the need to quarantine once a person arrives.
- Tapeworm Treatment (For Dogs Only)
Dogs should be treated for tapeworms 1-5 days before arrival. This is important in order to meet requirements of health standards of the European Union.
- Documentation for Travel
To avoid delays or complications, the following documents are essential:
- Updated vaccination records
- Rabies titre test results
- Export certificate or pet passport
- Photographs of your pet
- Owner’s passport, visa, and confirmed flight details.
