Minimum Conditions for Moving Your Pet to Spain
Like most other EU member nations, Spain has laid down strict laws to safeguard both pets and the residents. Here’s what you need to prepare:
- Microchipping: Your First Step
Of the vaccines your pet is to receive, none of them can be administered until the animal is fitted with an ISO-compatible microchip. This microchip guarantees correct identification and meets the Spanish and EU requirements.
- Rabies Vaccination
After the implants of microchips, pets should be vaccinated for rabies. This first vaccination should be done at least 21 days before arrival in Spain. This means that if your pet has since grown out of the previous vaccination, then the following shot will automatically be a primary vaccine shot and the waiting period will be 21 days.
Besides rabies, booster vaccinations are administered to extend the immunized coverage. Other recommended vaccinations include:
- For Dogs: Distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, leptospirosis, parainfluenza and bordetella.
- For Cats: Calicivirus, herpesvirus, panleucopenia, and leukemia Viruses.
- Rabies Titre Test
Pets coming from India into Spain must undergo a rabies titer (titer) test. This test ensures there are neutralizing antibodies to rabies and should be done 30 days after rabies vaccination. Animals are allowed to be imported to Spain three months after the blood sample has been taken. These timelines will protect against compliance and being quarantined upon arrival.
- Helminth Control (Especially for Dogs)
Dogs entering Spain should be treated for tapeworms 1-5 days before travel. The following is a preventive measure that needs to be taken to ensure the Spanish environment and its animals.
- Travel and Documentation
The following documents are essential for smooth entry:
- Updated vaccination records
- Rabies titre test results
- Recent pet photos
- Pet export certificate or pet passport
- Owner’s passport details, visa details, and flight details
