Want to take your pets to Spain? Here are a few things you should know:
- EU pet passport - cats, dogs and ferrets meeting all requirements can travel between EU member states if accompanied by an EU pet passport. You can view and even print the passport from the European Union website: www.europa.eu.int .The passport has details of the pet owner and animal, including its microchip details and (rabies) vaccination record
- In Spain, domestic pets have to be micro-chipped by a local veterinarian. Some people also take out pet health insurance
- Vets are well-trained, some animal clinics even offer English-speaking assistance and 24 hour emergency care
- If you are moving to Spain to live, then your pet needs to be vaccinated in your home country and issued with a health certificate from a vet 15 days before you depart
- Fees are payable when transporting domestic animals overseas - check details with your airline
- Most airlines will carry animals that have had a rabies vaccination within the last 30 days, been examined and declared by a vet to be free of contagious disease and in a suitable condition to fly
