Are you and your best furry buddy planning to move to Germany?

At Worldwide Animal Travel we understand relocating to Germany with your pet is an exciting opportunity, but it also requires careful preparation and attention to detail. While Germany’s pet import process is generally more straightforward than countries with strict quarantine systems, there are still important health, identification, and documentation requirements that must be completed correctly before travel.

If you are planning to move your dog or cat from Canada to Germany, understanding the EU pet import regulations, veterinary timelines, and airline travel requirements is essential.

Understanding Germany’s Pet Import Requirements

Germany is a member of the European Union and follows the EU Pet Travel Scheme, which standardizes pet import rules across EU countries. Compared with destinations like Australia, the process is less complex and typically does not require quarantine when all requirements are met.

However, strict documentation and veterinary procedures must still be completed before departure including:

• • • Microchip Identification
    • Rabies Vaccination
    • There is a 21-day waiting period after the first rabies vaccination before travel is permitted.
    • EU Animal Health Certificate
    • Fit-to-fly health certificate
