Standard Conditions for Pet Transportation to Italy
Italy, like any other member of the European Union has rules for the transfer of pets for the well being of the animals as well as the locals. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to do:
- Microchipping
All dogs and cats that are to be vaccinated must be implanted with an ISO-standard microchip first. This microchip serves as a passport for your pet and guarantees that its or her or his records on the health conditions are searchable. This is required for all animals entering the country of Italy.
- Rabies Vaccination
Following implantation of an identification microchip, the pet must be vaccinated against rabies. The primary vaccination also denoted the first dose must be done twenty one days before one intends to enter Italy. If the prior vaccination has long expired, then the new vaccination also will be counted as the first dose, meaning that it will take 21 days.
For added security, the booster shots have to be current hence the reason why they should be boosted. As an extra measure in the immune layer, it is necessary to vaccinate your dog against distemper, parvovirus, leptospirosis, and hepatitis, and your cat against calicivirus, herpesvirus, and panleucopenia.
- Rabies Titre Test
It says that a rabies titre test is required when the pets are moved from India to Italy. This test, preferably done after 30 days of rabies vaccination, determines that your pet has enough rabies antibodies in his or her body. Pets can only enter Italy three months after the blood sample is taken in which the dog tested positive for the disease. This timeline makes sure they are disease-free, and thus do not require to undergo quarantine once they arrive.
- Tapeworm Treatment
In the case of dogs, a tapeworm treatment must be given within 1 to 5 days prior to arrival to Italy. It is very important in order to save the environment and pets in Italy as well as all EU countries.
- Travel and Documentation
Relocating your pet to Italy requires detailed documentation, including:
