Documents for animals to travel abroad. What documents are needed to transport animals? How to get there or features of road life

In the practice of our company, it is not uncommon for clients to seek advice on traveling to Europe with pets. The EU has quite strict transportation regulations, so incorrectly executed documents or vaccinations that were not done on time can ruin your entire trip. Today we will talk about how to properly import animals to Europe and what veterinary documents to have.

What do you need to know when preparing for a trip?

Many holders of a residence permit in Europe or a second citizenship spend a lot of time in the EU and at the same time do not want to part with their pets. Indeed, any dog ​​or cat may not be able to bear several weeks or even months of separation from the owner/mistress. The only way out is to take them with you. Besides, individual people participate regularly in international exhibitions animals.

If all the conditions of the EU directives regarding the importation of animals are met, then no problems will arise. By the way, it is useful to study the information on the official website of the European Union, to familiarize yourself with the Rules for the transport of pets. However, it should be remembered that in some European countries there are special conditions which you also need to be aware of.

In addition, if an outbreak of a virus, infections occurs in one of the countries, the rules can be tightened up to the complete suppression of the movement of animals in the EU. These requirements will have to come to terms, they are temporary.

Important! In the EU, there are regulations of the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission 576/2013 and 577/577 on the transport of pets, which entered into force on 12/29/2014. There is no tax on the importation of pets for temporary stay in the EU.

What documents are needed to transport a dog or cat?

In preparation for travel, you must obtain a European Veterinary Passport for your animal. With it, you will be able to travel freely throughout the Schengen area (of course, if you have issued a residence permit for one of the countries as a foreign investor), including the UK, without the need to go through quarantine.

To obtain a document, you must come to a veterinary clinic that has the appropriate license.

Important! Up to 5 animals per accompanying person can be brought into the EU at the same time. The exception is participation in exhibitions. In this case, it is necessary to have a written confirmation of the registration of animals for participation.

Documents for a dog for export to Europe

To travel to Europe it is necessary that the dog:

• a microchip of the ISO 11784 or 11785 standard (EU requirement since 2011) was implanted under the skin on the neck;
• there was confirmation of a timely vaccination against rabies (no more than 11 months and no earlier than 21 days before crossing the border);
• there was a veterinary certificate of form No. 1-vet (can be obtained at your regional State Veterinary Station at least 5 days before the trip)

It is necessary to chip the animal before vaccination, otherwise the vaccination will have to be done again!

The veterinary certificate must be exchanged for an international veterinary certificate Form No. 5a. The procedure is carried out at the border veterinary control point immediately before passing customs (for example, at the airport or border crossing point for cars).

All documents must be in English.

Important! Failure to comply with these requirements will automatically result in your pet being placed in quarantine upon arrival in a European country. So be careful with your collection. required documents or leave it to qualified professionals.

Documents for a cat for a trip to Europe

The list of documents for cats is less extensive. You will also need a veterinary passport and a health certificate form No. 1-vet. Cats must be transported in shipping containers, and the possibility of transportation in the cabin or a special compartment must be checked with the carrier.

Many of our clients ask to clarify what documents are needed to transport a cat by plane. You will not be required to provide any additional documents to those already listed.

Spaniards pay the least for keeping dogs - 15-35 euros per year, Swedes - about 50 euros. For the Dutch, one dog costs about 60 euros, but getting a second one will cost 85 euros. Swiss taxes can be classified as average in size - dog breeders pay about 100 euros per year. The most expensive to keep dogs in Germany. Large and dangerous breeds can cost more than 600 euros.

However, it should be borne in mind that this tax should be paid when the dog lives permanently in the country. There is no taxation for temporary importation.

Academician Vladimir Igorevich Arnold, a man who had unique, non-standard views on education, published the book “Tasks for Children from 5 to 15 Years Old” in 2004. Here is what the author tells about the history of the appearance of this book: “I wrote down these tasks in Paris in the spring of 2004, when Russian Parisians asked me to help their young children acquire a culture of thinking that is traditional for Russia, but far surpasses all Western customs.” According to V.I. Arnold, the culture of thinking is most of all brought up by early independent thinking about simple, but not easy questions, like the following task “How to transport through the river?».

Instruction

Check out the condition number 9 from the collection "Tasks from 5 to 15 years."
The wolf, the goat and the cabbage must be transported by the peasant through the river in a boat, but the boat is so small that he can carry one of three loads. How to transport all three loads (leave the wolf with the goat, and the goat with the cabbage) through the river?

The next race, the man must take the cabbage to the other side.
But he should not return back alone, but put a goat with him in the boat. A goat cannot be left with cabbage on the other side. But according to the condition of the problem, nowhere is it said that the peasant cannot transport his "

Dog - best friend person. Of course, she does not like it when her beloved owner goes on a trip without her. But there is a way out - taking the dog abroad with you. In many countries of Europe and the world, these animals are loyal, which makes it possible to safely place them in hotels or visit public catering places with them. But before you go to distant countries, you need to collect special documents for your dog and provide her with a comfortable flight/relocation. About it will be discussed in this article.

Documents required for transporting a dog across the border

First, let's get acquainted with the list, which will show what documents for a dog to travel abroad are needed:

• international veterinary passport
• veterinary certificate form No1
• international certificate form 5a

Now we need to consider each document separately, which we will do in the next part of the article.

International Veterinary Passport

Most important document in the life of your pet. He talks about his external signs, health, vaccinated and performed operations. Ideal option it is considered to issue such a passport after the first vaccination. If you bought a pet older than two months from other owners, then it is possible that the passport has already been made. Be sure to clarify this point, because this will confirm that the dog has already been given the main vaccinations for its health.

But what to do after buying an animal from incompetent people who did not provide for the establishment of a passport?

If your pet has not yet acquired this document, then you can apply for it at the nearest veterinary clinic. Next, the owner of the dog fills in the following data:

• the name of the animal;
• date of birth;
• coloring;
• chip number (15 characters) or information about a special branded tattoo.

IMPORTANT! Stamp tattoos are special designs that contain a set of letters and numbers on the body of an animal. For any thoroughbred individual, this is a must. It allows you to prove the owner's rights to the dog. But it should be understood that they will not be enough for a trip to the EU countries. Be sure to implant the chip.

A chip is a small implant that is implanted into your pet's skin. Chipping can be done at any veterinary clinic. With this you will be able to: find an escaped animal, take it abroad and process required documents. Another chip will allow you to enter your dog into a database that is distributed throughout the world.

Recall that all this is filled in by the owner of the animal. But to indicate the presence of vaccination and made medical operations need a veterinarian to sign, date and seal.

Treatment of dogs from lice and other insects is possible at home. Therefore, you yourself can enter data about these actions in your pet's passport. It will be enough to indicate the name of the medicine and the current date. We continue to consider further documents for a dog for traveling abroad.

Veterinary certificate form No1

Another piece of paper you need for your pet. It is issued in state veterinary clinics absolutely free of charge. To receive it, you must present:

• veterinary passport;
• dog
• dog owner's passport;
• having a chip or tattoos.

But the veterinary certificate is valid only on the territory of the Russian Federation within 5 days after issuance. So don't put off planning your travel date.

International Certificate Form 5a

Without it, you will not be able to make a trip to the EU countries. Issued directly by plane or before the train on the basis of:

• veterinary certificate form No1.;
• your international passport;
• chip or tattoo.

Sometimes you may need a document on the analysis for the presence of antibodies to rabies viruses (check this point for each individual country). Usually the process of obtaining this certificate takes about 10 days, which requires planning in advance for this examination.

Traveling with a dog

We have reviewed the paperwork required for legal dog travel. But now we have to sort out the issues of transportation and return of these animals to their homeland.

Taking a dog across the border by plane

Flying your pet on an airplane is a complicated procedure, because each airline may impose its own requirements for this.

When buying a ticket, specify the fact that you are transporting a dog with you. You will most likely have to pay extra for it, as for additional baggage. There are two ways to accommodate animals on board the aircraft:

• in the main part of the plane with other passengers;
• in a special section for animals.

Each airline has its own list of allowed pets. Dogs in most cases are included in it. To transport it in the cabin of an aircraft, you must meet certain requirements:

• the weight of the cage with the animal must be less than 9 kg;
• it is allowed to transport no more than 4 pets at the same time;
• the cages should have such shapes that the dog could easily stay there and stand up to his full height;
• cage dimensions should not exceed 115 cm (length + width + height). How to measure a dog

Some airlines do not carry dogs that weigh more than 9 kg. But if they are still transported, then the animal ends up in a special heated compartment of the aircraft. Here, too, some requirements must be met:

• feed and drink before the flight;
• the dog must be put on a special muzzle (without it a fine is imposed) and placed in a cage;
• leave the leash in the cage, but do not put it on the dog.

Do not forget about the quarantine for animals in individual countries. Customs officers can take your dog away for a certain period of time. Be sure to find out about quarantine activities currently underway in the country you want to visit.

Transporting a dog across the border by car

No less complicated than the previous process. But if you still decide on such a trip with a pet, then consider the following points:

1. Before a long trip, the dog needs to be walked, fed and watered.
2. Food. The longer the trip, the more it is required. Pay attention to dry food, because it does not deteriorate at all and does not attract the attention of insects. Stock up on water and a container from which your pet will drink.
3. Provide stops for 10-15 minutes every 2 hours. The pet needs time to do its business and move a little away from the difficult move.
4. If your dog is not able to sit still, then it may be worth considering special devices for her. For example, a cage or a special belt will be able to fix your animal on for a long time trips.
5. Heat in the car. Do not open windows so that the pet can ventilate. Any small pebble is capable of flying off and hitting it, which can lead to death. Most the best option- air conditioner. Remember to water your dog often and don't leave it alone in the car.
6. Cold. It will be enough to turn on the heater and keep the windows closed.
7. If your dog is having problems with urination, then you should take action.

You should not take your dog on a road trip without taking care of these things. Remember that your life and the life of your dog is the most important thing.

Requirements of some countries regarding the importation of animals into them

Apart from the basic rules that are common to most countries, some states have their own unique laws regarding the possibility of bringing animals into their territories and staying within their borders. They are as follows:

In addition to the above features of the importation of animals into the territory of countries, there are also quite a few other conditions of other states.

Transportation of dogs abroad by plane

First, when buying a plane ticket, notify the airport staff that you take your dog with you to get her a seat on the plane. For example, according to the rules of the Aeroflot company, up to 4 dogs can be in the cabin. If your dog weighs less than 9 kg, then it will be allowed to be transported in the cabin, but in a special carriage (you will have to buy it in advance). When you check in for your flight, you must pay for the travel of the animal, calculated as the price for excess baggage, in the amount of the weight of the animal, at the first class fare (even if the dog travels in the luggage compartment).

The luggage compartment for transporting animals is a heated compartment separated from the luggage by a wall. Animals are transported in special containers rigidly fixed on the floor. The dog's cage should be 10 cm higher than the sitting dog's head and long enough to allow the dog to lie down with its front paws extended and turn freely.

In addition, there must be water in the container (best of all, a drinking bowl fixed on the wall). At your request, the veterinarian can give the dog an injection with a sedative before boarding.

The dog must be wearing a comfortable collar and an unfastened leash must be left in the box.
