Relocating Your Pets to Europe

 

At Ferndale Kennels, we understand the importance of a seamless pet relocation experience, even when it comes to moving across various countries within Europe.

From the romantic streets of Paris to the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany, Europe has something for everyone. With our expertise in international pet relocation, we can assist you in making your furry friends’ journey to Europe safe, comfortable and stress-free.

E.U. Health Certificate and Microchip: Essential Requirements for Pet Travel to Europe

When travelling to Europe, pets require specific pet travel documentation including an E.U. Health Certificate, which must be issued and signed by a veterinarian in the country of origin. Additionally, pets must be implanted with an ISO type microchip, ensuring proper identification throughout the journey. 

 

Depending on the specific destination country and the type of pet, additional treatments for internal parasites may be necessary. Rest assured, our team will guide you through the necessary documentation and vet appointments to ensure compliance with all E.U. regulations so that your pet has a smooth ride without any hiccups.

 

Organising a Pet Relocation to Europe

Planning a pet relocation to Europe involves thorough preparation, dedicated time, and extensive research. To facilitate a smooth transition, it’s important to adhere to certain guidelines. There’s a five-day rule that allows you to travel within the same timeframe as your pet, qualifying the move as a non-commercial pet shipment and enabling the approval of the relocation. 

 

This means that you must arrange your vet trips, vaccinations and health form ready for your pet to travel within 5 days of your flight. Planning is key. 

  • Crate Training Your Pet Ready for Departure to Europe

As you contemplate a move to Europe with your pets, we highly recommend reaching out to us for initial advice. Consulting your vet to assess your pets’ health and ensure their readiness for travel is also a crucial step in your move. Our team will also assist you in preparing your pets for travel in crates by helping you with effective crate training techniques. 

 

Creating a positive association with a crate will help your pet to settle, feel safe and be less stressed during their flight. The crate encloses your pet and gives them a safe space to protect and relax, just like a bedroom. Despite being closed in, they will actually feel more comfortable and at ease in there. 

 

Our helpful team will give you training tips and tricks on the lead up to your departure to ensure your pet is comfortable with the crate and sees it as a positive experience.
