Dogs, cats and ferrets that travel within the EU must be identity marked with a microchip and vaccinated against rabies.
Dogs, cats and ferrets that travel within the EU must have a pet passport. Your veterinarian can provide your pet with a passport.
The requirements concerning rabies protection are stricter upon import from countries outside EU which do not have a control system for rabies.
