Basic Procedures in Moving Your Pet to Germany
- Microchipping
By the same token, before any immunization process is conducted on the pet a microchip that complies with the International Organization for Standardization is necessary for any pet that seeks to enter Germany from other EU member countries. This microchip is the only identification number on your pet and is required for checking to be certain that your pet’s vaccinations meet EU requirements.
- Rabies Vaccination
Later, pets are required to be vaccinated against rabies after they have been chipped. In the vaccination procedure, this is referred to as the primary vaccination and it is compulsory for pets to enter Germany. It should be given at least 21 days prior to travel, its use is strictly prohibited during pregnancy. If the rabies vaccination expires before the next dose it becomes a new primary shot which means that there will be another wait of 21 days. They too need to be updated for the protection and the compliance booster for the same.
There are, however, other recommended vaccinations for dogs which if administered will be useful. These are distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, leptospirosis and Bordetella vaccinations. So vaccinations against calicivirus, herpesvirus panleucopenia and others should be used with cats (EU countries).
- Rabies Titre Test
Germany wants pet dogs and cats arriving from India to undergo a rabies titre (titer) test. This test is important in establishing that your pet has developed the right rabies antibodies. The rabies titre test should not be given before 30 days post the primary rabies vaccination. After obtaining the blood sample pets are banned from traveling for at least three months to Germany. Such waiting is crucial to avoid quarantine upon arrival to the destination country/city.
Pets Can Fly schedule a meeting with your veterinarian for a test and the company is willing to meet the deadlines as well as handle all the necessary paperwork for EU countries.
- Tapeworm Treatment (for Dogs)
Tapeworm treatment is necessary in the interval of one to five days before the arrival in Germany for dogs. But this measure is necessary in order to prevent Germany’s pets from being affected by various parasites.
- Required Documentation
For a smooth entry into Germany, it’s crucial to prepare a set of specific documents:
- Updated vaccination records
- Rabies titre test results
- Recent photos of your pet
- Pet traveling document or export certificate
- Copy of the pet owner’s passport, visa, flight schedule and booking.
