Eurocertificate for animals (dogs and cats). Veterinary certificates, certificates, passports - Russian portal staffordshire bull terrier

According to current legislation(Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation of November 16, 2006 N 422 (as amended on March 19, 2010)) "On approval of the Rules for the organization of work on the issuance of veterinary accompanying documents"(registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on November 24, 2006 N 8524), if you are going to transport your cat or dog, you must issue a veterinary accompanying document authorizing this trip to your pet.

• Veterinary certificate, form No. 1
• Veterinary certificate, form No. 4
• Veterinary certificate, form No. 5a

Veterinary certificates and certificates are issued at the territorial state veterinary institution at the place of residence of the animal (SBBZh of Moscow and the Moscow Region).

The specified procedure is valid when exporting no more than 5 heads of cats or dogs, but if you plan to export exotic animals or a large batch of animals, then you will need, among other things, to obtain an exit permit from the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.

In Russia by train or plane

• to another city - present at the station or at the airport veterinary certificate (form No. 1), and when an animal is taken abroad when crossing the border of Russia, form No. 1 is changed at the border veterinary checkpoint to international veterinary certificate(Form No. 5a);
• within the same city for the purpose of selling or visiting an exhibition - veterinary certificate (form No. 4).

To date, to receive veterinary certificate (form No. 1) or veterinary certificate (form No. 4) the animal must be clinically healthy and:

For dogs older than 3 months of age are required:

• vaccination against rabies, plague, leptospirosis

For cats older than 6 months of age are required:

• rabies vaccination
• laboratory research for helminthiases (or a mark in the veterinary passport on deworming)
• luminescent diagnostics ringworm(or vaccination)

Veterinary accompanying document is issued not earlier than within 5 days before departure (if there is no need to conduct laboratory tests, veterinary accompanying documents are issued within one day). Validity - 5 days from the date of issue and before the start of transportation.

The animal must be vaccinated not later than 30 days before issuing a veterinary accompanying document. From the moment of vaccination against rabies, one year should not elapse. A veterinary accompanying document can be issued 14 days after vaccination if you have previously vaccinated your pet in a timely manner. Vaccination is confirmed by the oval seal of a private Moscow clinic that has the right to carry out vaccination, or a Moscow state clinic (station for the fight against animal diseases, district veterinary hospital or veterinary department) if you draw up a veterinary accompanying document in Moscow.

The owner of the animal is obliged to take care of the implementation of veterinary requirements in advance and call the veterinarian for advice a month before the trip.

Laboratory tests for helminthiases must be carried out within a month before departure. Deworming (with a mark in the veterinary passport) must be carried out no later than 14 days before the issuance of the accompanying veterinary document. Luminescent diagnosis of ringworm is carried out immediately before issuing a veterinary accompanying document.

The so-called "international veterinary passports" are not the basis for the transport of animals and do not replace the named certificate and certificate.

When crossing the border of Russia, form No. 1 is changed at the border veterinary checkpoint to an international one veterinary certificate (form No. 5a).

Animals are sent abroad if the requirements of Russia listed above are met and in accordance with veterinary requirements importing country. These requirements are also subject to change, so the owner of the animal must request them from the relevant embassy or directly in the country of entry and present them to the veterinary clinic. If necessary, veterinarians carry out additional measures to prepare the animal. All this must be learned and performed correctly and in a timely manner in order to avoid unnecessary troubles on the road. In some countries, such as the UK, Australia, Canada, Norway, Ireland, Sweden, veterinary regulations are extremely strict and involve quarantine of animals upon entry into the country for 1 to 18 months at the expense of the owner of the animal. In these cases, it is necessary to assess in advance your capabilities and the expediency of traveling with the animal.

The veterinary certificate (form No. 5a) is valid when animals are returned to the Russian Federation from foreign countries within 90 days from the date of issue.

When we travel with a dog, in order to travel abroad smoothly, we must have a number of completed documents for your dog with us. Different countries have different requirements for bringing animals across their borders. Let's take a look at them. If we are traveling with a dog in our country you need to bring the following documents with you:

Traveling with a dog outside our country, but within Customs Union . Let me remind you that in the Customs Union, in addition to Russian Federation, also includes the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan. To travel with a dog, you will need the following documents:

Traveling with a dog outside the Russian Federation and the Customs Union.

If you are traveling with a dog to EU countries you will need the following types of documents:

I want to draw your attention to the fact that since the end of December 2014, the rules for importing dogs into the European Union have been changed. What are the innovations? First, there was changed the form of the veterinary certificate E C, but you can download the updated forms from the link I provided above. Secondly, there is a requirement confirmation of the nature of movement of animals(commercial or non-commercial) if more than 5 dogs are transported. Non-commercial import refers to the movement of animals, the purpose of which is not to sell them or transfer ownership of the dog. It can be a trip to an exhibition, a trip. To prove non-commercial movement, a declaration is filled out (attachment of the Veterinary Certificate) and documented that you are the owner of the dog (based on a copy of the pedigree, veterinary passport, where you are entered as the owner, or on the basis of an animal purchase agreement where you are the buyer), or you are a person who has the right to move the animal (based on a power of attorney from the owner of the dog, see exemplary sample below), or if the number of dogs you are transporting is less than 5, or the animals are over 5 and they are older than 6 months and you have documentary evidence (confirmation of participation in an exhibition, for example) that the dogs will take part in competitions, exhibitions, etc. In the event that your pets are moved to the EU countries for the purpose of their subsequent sale, it is necessary to indicate the nature of the movement of animals as commercial. But you will have to pay the corresponding customs fees for the export of dogs. It is unlikely that it will work out somehow and smuggle the animals as a “non-commercial cargo”, and then return without them, since at the border of the European Union data on animals are entered into customs databases and everything is carefully checked.

mentioned above rabies antibody test- what is it and why is it needed? It is required if you are importing a dog from a rabies-prone country. These include, for example, Ukraine. The Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation are classified as “safe” for rabies. Therefore, if you import a dog from Russia, bypassing the Republic of Belarus, then you do not need to receive a test. But if you go to the European Union from Russia, but bypass the territory of Ukraine, then at the border you will be required to show a test. Which countries are free from rabies and which are not, you can see for yourself on the page of the legal regulator http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?qid=1427463605055&uri=CELEX:32013R0577 (AnnexII, Part I, Part II). This test is done once in a lifetime, but on condition that the dog undergoes regular revaccination. Unfortunately, it is possible to make a test and get its results only in some laboratories. In Moscow, this is the Center molecular diagnostics FSBI All-Russian State Center for Quality and Standardization medicines for animals and feed (FGBU "VGNKI"), located at Zvenigorodskoe shosse, 5. The test is done at least 30 days after the first rabies vaccination. The deadline for receiving test results is 3 weeks, so be careful and consider these terms when planning your trip. In addition to EU countries, tests for antibodies to rabies in without fail require Taiwan, Japan, UAE, Israel and a number of other countries.

Another point that I have not written about before, but I think you remember this: to take a dog abroad to most countries, you need to the presence of a microchip in a dog, the number of which is pasted into the veterinary passport and the dog's pedigree. And a valid rabies vaccination must be given after the microchip is administered to the dog, or on the same day.

Passenger customs declaration included in the list required documents for the export of a dog to foreign countries, it is filled in two forms - for exit and entry. The copy that is filled out for “departure” is presented when leaving the countries of the Customs Union for Europe (for example, when leaving the Republic of Belarus for Poland). Customs puts appropriate marks on the declaration and enters the dog into its database. You must keep this copy until you return. It is presented to customs along with the copy that is filled out “for entry”. You can fill out the declaration in advance by simply presenting the completed copy at customs. You can download and fill out the declaration here - http://fl.customs.ru/images/articles/fl/customs_declaration7.pdf. You will need to complete only the first two sheets of this file.

Everything described above applies to leaving the Russian Federation. And what awaits us on the way home? 5 days before the dog is brought back into the territory of the countries of the Customs Union, you must visit with the dog veterinarian who will be able to conduct a clinical examination of the dog and put a mark on the examination in the animal's passport. The presence of this mark will save you from unnecessary hassle at the border.

"Paws, ears and tail, that's all my papers"! - said Sharik from Prostokvashino. But in this bureaucratic time, our pets cannot say that when they are going somewhere in the village to their grandmother in another region or on vacation with their owners abroad.

I try to write about different aspects traveling with animals, but still missed one big point - about documents for a dog, without which not a single long trip would have taken place. And today there will be such an extensive article about certificates for animals for transportation to various types transport, identifiers and analyzes, so that your trip with a dog abroad goes smoothly.

Passport for a dog important document. And it is needed not only for those who are going abroad with a dog. In essence, this document reflects the state of health of your dog and is both a veterinary passport for dogs and an identity card. Therefore, it is important for owners to issue a veterinary passport for a dog as soon as they go for the first vaccination, and it does not matter whether you bought a puppy or you already got an adult dog.

How and where to apply for a passport for a dog

from previous owners

In general, if you buy purebred puppy in a club, breeders, or bona fide previous owners, then you should be given a dog passport along with the dog. Since the first vaccinations are given to puppies at 2 months, and the puppies are taken just after. The passport contains marks about all vaccinations and other planned medical interventions, which means that if the dog is more than two months old, it must have vaccinations.

But what if you don't have pedigree dog which you bought from an old lady near the metro station or just picked up or found on the street?

apply at a veterinary clinic

You can get a veterinary passport at any veterinary clinic. It could be state clinics or private, it doesn't matter. You can buy a dog passport form at the time of your visit where you will be given information that the dog has been processed, vaccinated or sterile.

What does a veterinary passport for a dog look like?

The passport looks either as in the picture below, or it has a completely ordinary neutral cover with the inscription "Veterinary Dog Passport".

How to fill out a dog veterinary passport

AT veterinary passport dogs by the owner himself, only data about the animal and the owner are filled in. Like the dog's name, breed, gender, date of birth, type and coat color. You can stick a photo of the dog in your passport, but this is not required. In general, the data on the dog should be the same as if you were making a verbal portrait of your pet.

In addition to external data, the chip number, if any, the date of its installation, the tattoo number, if any, and the date of application are indicated.

The most important thing in the passport is information about the vaccinations carried out and their expiration date. As well as data on the conduct of helminthization, treatment against fleas and ticks and vaccination against rabies.

How to fill out a dog veterinary passport on your own

All antiviral vaccinations, as well as the rabies vaccine, must be done at the clinic. With the name of the vaccine (usually a sticker on the bottle) signed and stamped by the clinic doctor.

And the treatment of a dog from fleas and ticks, as well as the treatment of worms, is quite possible at home. It is only important to enter these data in the veterinary passport. You need to indicate the date of taking the drug and the name of the drug (or stick a sticker if any).

International Veterinary Passport

In fact, the veterinary dog ​​passport that is issued in our country is not a real international passport. The only international thing that it has is the duplication of names into English. A real international passport is a broad concept. For example, there is an international veterinary passport for the Schengen zone, according to which dogs can cross the borders of the eurozone without additional certificates and certificates. But we don’t give out such people yet, and if someone buys, then according to the rules, the dog must most time is in the eurozone.

Chip or tattoo

• For different types animals use different identifiers:
  For birds use a ring on the foot.
  On the ears cattle I guess everyone has seen the tags.
  Chips, unlike other identifiers, mark all animals. The tattoo is applied to puppies, kittens and foals later, in adulthood, by adding a chip.

For transportation of an animal both within the country and for export abroad the obligatory document is the Certificate in form No. 1, the basis for which is the presence of identifiers on the body of animals.

Chip a dog (cat) or one tattoo will be enough to get this certificate - this is decided based on where you plan to go. Each country has its own requirements.
There is a common expression on the Internet that a microchip is the size of a grain of rice. Which sounds like it's so small. Now look at this syringe, which puts a microchip in the withers of your dog or cat. Or pick up a piece of rice and imagine how thick the needle will be. Well, to understand.
We put a microchip at the age of 3 months along with a rabies vaccination and a second one against distemper-interitis. The dog survived the installation of the chip well, only the veterinarian could not pierce him the first time, and then he was very afraid, so he had to wait and calm him down.

Veterinary certificate

To transport a pet within the Russian Federation and the CIS, it is necessary to issue a Veterinary Certificate No. 1. Without it, you will not be put on a plane or on a train, and according to the rules, without it, you cannot even go by car from one region to another.

It is possible to issue such a certificate only in state district veterinary clinics, however, not at the place of residence of the owner with a dog will also not be entirely correct, although it is permissible. That is, choose any convenient for you by location.

How to get a veterinary certificate No. 1

You need to come with the following list:

• Veterinary passport
• Russian passport of the owner
• Dog
• Chip (or tattoo) or other animal identifier.

The validity of the certificate is only 5 days. It used to be even less - only 3! Therefore, calculate the date of receipt of the document so that you have time to leave while the certificate is valid. If any veterinary clinic does not work (for example, on New Year's or May holidays), look for one that will work! We arrive at the clinic with all the documents. We had to sit in line because before the May holidays a lot of dogs left for exhibitions.

Based on the vaccination data recorded in your international veterinary passport, you are issued a veterinary certificate No. 1, which in fact is just a duplicate of the passport data. Well, it's necessary. The data of the dog's chip, the number and date of installation are also overwritten, and who is the owner is recorded. This is a strict accountability form and looks like a real document on a stamped seal with watermarks.

A Russian passport is needed to rewrite the data on the owner’s residence (and therefore the animal) and, on the basis of this, issue an assurance that there are no and have not been outbreaks of rabies in this region for a long time. This disease is the most main trouble and hence the demand is high. From regions where there is such an infection, it is impossible to import an animal. Therefore, for example, it is officially impossible to bring a dog to Bali, and then it is officially impossible to take it out.
The spine of the certificate remains at the veterinary clinic that issued the certificate, but the Form 1 Certificate itself is given to you.

Veterinary Certificate for the export of an animal No. 5

An international veterinary certificate No. 5 is required if you are going to transport a dog across the border of other countries. In general, to be honest, it is necessary for those animals that do not have a real international veterinary passport. Therefore, if you have a valid international passport, then you do not need such a veterinary certificate, but you can only get it as a resident of the EU, again, officially.
A sample veterinary certificate can be viewed on the Rosselkhoznadzor website for any country. Choose a country, then the “export” tab and read everything that we find useful for ourselves. For example here veterinary certificate form for EU countries.

How to get an international veterinary certificate

To obtain a veterinary certificate for the export of an animal abroad, you will need:

• Veterinary Certificate Form 1
• Foreign passport of the owner
• Plane/train tickets
• Chip or other animal identifier

Veterinary certificate international standard we receive in exchange for the Veterinary Certificate No. 1. It is an exchange, since the certificate is then taken away at the veterinary control point! They verify the data in the certificates, scan the chip and issue a certificate based on all the data. Also, at the veterinary control point at the airport, for example, they issue a boarding pass for an animal.

Each country has its own import and export requirements. All information on import and export (import and export) is published on the website of Rosselzoznadzor and on this page there is information on the requirements for the export and import of animals in different countries. In particular, it is important to look at information about the vaccinations that are needed to cross the border of a particular country, as well as quarantine requirements.
For example, almost all countries require a rabies vaccination, which must be delivered no earlier than 30 days before travel and must be no more than a year old. So keep this 30 day quarantine in mind when you travel and get vaccinated. To enter some countries, you need to have not only a rabies vaccination, but also a blood test of the animal, indicating that it does not contain the virus.
Also, many countries require that the animal be dewormed (dewormed), as well as treated against fleas and ticks.

I would like to note that despite the fact that these requirements are mandatory, many veterinarians and owners understand that it is often harmful to deworm a dog and there is no point. And the fact that some countries require this to be done 5 days before the trip, to be honest, is not entirely true (and if you travel every month, for example!). Therefore, if you are prophylactic against worms in your dog, then you can simply paste the label in the veterinary passport. Veterinarians understand this and go to the meeting.
Registration of the Veterinary Certificate Form 1 costs from 300 to 900 rubles.

Where to get an international veterinary certificate

It all depends on where you are going and what mode of transport you use. I will tell you about St. Petersburg, since this is where we live and have design experience.

It is not necessary to obtain a certificate at the airport if another point of registration is closer to you. Yes, usually everyone refuses on the spot and at the railway station or seaport they send you to the airport if you are flying by plane, but in fact they can arrange it. They just don't want to.

Addresses and phone numbers of border crossing points, air, land and sea, you will find in the photo below.

You can get an international certificate directly at the border crossing points if there is a veterinary control there. International road points where there is veterinary control, addresses and telephone numbers are shown in the picture below. You can call and check the opening hours and everything you need.

Obtaining a veterinary certificate at Pulkovo Airport

My advice is to call the veterinary control service at the airport in advance and if there is time and opportunity, issue a certificate in advance. I try to do this 2 days before departure, as I try to buy tickets for early morning flights (so that the dog sleeps during the flight while inspecting night sleep). But also, by issuing a certificate right before the plane, you will never guess if there is a queue for the veterinary service, and according to the workers and our personal experience, all the time someone is making out certificates. If you do not want to wait and be nervous before departure, then just arrive early.
In St. Petersburg, we receive an international certificate in the new terminal of Pulkovo Airport. The airport website has very good map, where everything is clear where to go, but nevertheless you can ask the staff at the entrance. It's hard to get lost.
Pulkovo veterinary service is located in the arrivals building on the ground floor!!!(Why arrivals? Yes, they just still check bags with bacon and sausage more often than they do registration of animals, really). After the inspection at the entrance, turn right and then straight all the way to the boxes for sorting garbage and large letters Departure and then to the left and follow the arrows printed on A4 pieces of paper you will come to the right place))

Pulkovo airport veterinary control phone 8-923-418-56-29. Issuance of veterinary certificates around the clock, but you should still call and clarify. Lunch from 13-30 to 14-00. Once we arrived for a certificate at 4 in the morning and simply called the number indicated on the door, woke up the employee.

Vet control at Finland Station

Despite the fact that veterinary control is allegedly located at the Finland Station, the territory of this very station is huge and the address of Botkinskaya Street still does not say anything. If you are facing the entrance to the station, then go around it on the left until you run into a bunch of police bobbins.

Here you reach this building and to the right through the iron black door.

We had to wait a very long time in winter. But winter period The New Year holidays are generally the hottest time for issuing certificates for those who cross the border by car. But in the summer there were no people.

Antibody test

Currently, almost all countries require that the animal imported into their territory be vaccinated against rabies. However, some countries, in addition to the rabies vaccination itself, also require an analysis for rabies, or rather an analysis for the presence of antibodies to this virus. And everything would be fine, but if you are going to such a country spontaneously and without preparation, having bought a cheap discount ticket, you risk getting either for money or leaving the animal at home.
So, already before buying a cheap package tour to Israel, it turned out that the country is on the list of those countries where an antibody test is required.

So which countries need an antibody test

To England, Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Malta, Taiwan, Japan, UAE and Israel. I would also like to note that these countries, unlike the others, require not only a label on deworming to be pasted into the veterinary passport, but also a certificate issued in English.
Such rules apply if you are bringing a dog from Russia and directly to the specified country. When transporting a dog from the territory of Ukraine and some other countries, an antibody test is also required. It all depends on whether your country is in a rabies-free zone or not.

Where to get tested for rabies antibodies

In the laboratory, but not in any. In Russia, this can be done either directly in Center for Molecular Diagnostics in Moscow. To do this, you need to bring a dog there and donate blood from which serum is made for analysis.
In other cities of the Russian Federation there are no such laboratories and one has to look for options.
In St. Petersburg, for example, you can go for an antibody test to Finland, Helsinki, Lappeenranta and other cities that can be viewed on the website Finnish food safety agency Evira.
Option number two, found on the net, that you can contact intermediaries in St. Petersburg, donate blood to them and they will transfer it to Finland for analysis or send it to Moscow, if you need an urgent analysis, you need to clarify the possibility. In St. Petersburg, such an intermediary was named. But I decided to clarify this point and wrote them a letter. I received an answer:

Most main document, necessary in order to go on a trip with your beloved animal - a veterinary certificate (certificate) in form No. 1. This is a guarantee of your pet's health and permission to cross borders without hindrance. When making trips abroad, a Form 1 certificate is subject to exchange for an international veterinary certificate form 5.

Step 1 - Medical Examination and Rabies Vaccination

The first step towards cherished help is a visit to the veterinarian - no later than30 days before departure! The doctor will have to medical examination your pet, enter it and make a note about the vaccination in . You can go through all these procedures either in a state veterinary clinic or in a private one that has permission to vaccinate animals against rabies.

In the event that your furry friend no passport, do not worry - the document (as well as the procedure) can be done on the day of vaccination.

Step 2 - obtaining an F1 certificate

30 days after vaccination, you and your pet will need to visit again veterinary clinic, this timestate, where your friend will be carefully examined again and a certificate in form 1 will be issued. In some cases, veterinary clinic employees allow the examination of the animal and the issuance of a veterinary certificate at home. Of course, and in this case, you must provide the veterinarian new entries in the veterinary passport for preventive procedures and vaccinations.

Help F 1 contains the name of the owner, full information about the animal, the dates of the preventive measures carried out, a mark on the passage of quarantine and an approximate route. Ready document certified by the signature of the doctor and a wet seal.

Conditions for issuing an F1 certificate

The main indicators for issuing a certificate for pet are:

• Satisfactory state of health;
• Timely implementation of appropriate vaccinations and vaccinations;
• Passing under the circumstances when the owner with the animal are going to leave the country.

Validity of the veterinary certificate form 1

Certificate of Form No. 1 is valid for five days from the date of receipt , therefore, it is worth considering a scheme of actions in advance so that the documents do not lose their relevance at the time of departure.

Usually, the period for issuing a permit document takes from one to three days (it doesn’t matter whether you visited a clinic with your pet or called a doctor at home). And do not forget that the animal must be vaccinated no later than 30 days before departure!

If you want to save time, you can contact one of the companies that assist in obtaining an F1 certificate. The fixed price includes the issuance of a certificate, a preventive examination, as well as tests and vaccinations.

Rules for obtaining a certificate of form No. 1 for taking a pet abroad

To get started, you need to contactembassy or consulate of the host country and request the requirements for the transport of animals in writing, since the conditions for importing furry travelers are different for all countries. To travel around Russia, it will be enough to vaccinate your pet against rabies, but for pets traveling to the EU countries, it is necessary to additionally vaccinate against echinococcosis, and then get a European-style F1 certificate at the appropriate authority.

If the pet gets sick before the road

If your pet is a little sick at the time of the examination, do not despair! The veterinarian will prescribe home treatment and care. Sometimes, in quarantine mode, doctors may need to check the pet's place of residence - therefore, the veterinary commission may visit you during the preparation of documents to collect information about the conditions of the tailed patient. AT this case a veterinary certificate of form No. 1 is issued only at the end of the quarantine procedure.

It's important to know:

• No clinic will issue a Form 1 certificate for an animal that has not been vaccinated against rabies.
• Pets up to three months are also not issued a permitting veterinary document;

This industry is strictly controlled by Rosselkhoznadzor and systematically amends the legislation in the field of veterinary medicine. Therefore, every time before you go on a long journey, check the current information.

Easy travel preparation for you and your furry friend! 🙂
