Planning to move to the Netherlands and take your furry friend along? Relocating to this vibrant and pet-friendly country can be a wonderful adventure, but understanding the pet shipping regulations is key. In this guide, we’ll cover the essential steps for shipping your pet to the Netherlands and explain how Airpets International can make the process seamless and stress-free.
The Netherlands is known for its welcoming attitude towards pets, with many pet-friendly parks, trails, and even cities designed with animals in mind. Before you begin your journey, there are important regulations to follow to ensure your pet’s safe arrival. Key entry requirements include microchipping, vaccinations, and proper documentation.
Relocating your pet to the Netherlands requires careful attention to detail. Below are the key requirements for bringing your pet into the country:
Microchipping is mandatory for all pets entering the Netherlands. The chip must comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards, and it should be registered with up-to-date contact information.
Pets must be vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days before departure. Your veterinarian must provide an official health certificate, ensuring your pet is fit for travel and free from contagious diseases.
Pets traveling from the EU will need an EU pet passport, while those from non-EU countries will require an Animal Health Certificate (AHC), issued by a certified vet.
A rabies antibody titer test may be required for pets traveling from certain countries. This test verifies that your pet has a sufficient level of immunity.
In most cases, an import permit is not needed for pets from the EU. However, pets from non-EU countries may require an import permit, so make sure to confirm this in advance.
Pets that meet all the necessary health and vaccination requirements will not need to quarantine. However, failure to meet the requirements could result in quarantine upon arrival.
The travel crate must be IATA-approved and large enough for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Proper ventilation and security are crucial for your pet’s safety.
