Embarking on a journey to France and contemplating bringing your cherished pet along? Relocating with your furry friend to this enchanting European destination is undoubtedly exciting. To ensure a seamless and stress-free experience, it’s crucial to understand the regulations and requirements for pet shipping to France. In this guide, we’ll explore the key details about pet relocation to France and how Airpets International can be your trusted partner throughout the process.
France, known for its iconic landmarks, rich history, and pet-friendly culture, welcomes travelers and their pets with open arms. Before you head to this charming destination, it’s essential to ensure your pet meets the entry requirements. Dogs and cats entering France from the USA must have an ISO-compliant microchip, up-to-date vaccinations, and a valid EU health certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian.
If you’re planning to move to France with your beloved pet, here are the key requirements you need to consider:
France requires all pets to be microchipped. The microchip must comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards. Ensure the microchip is registered with up-to-date owner information for a smooth entry process.
Your pet must be up-to-date on essential vaccinations. Dogs require vaccinations against rabies, distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and leptospirosis. Cats need vaccinations against rabies and feline viral rhinotracheitis. Additionally, an EU health certificate, completed and signed by an accredited veterinarian, is mandatory.
For pets arriving from the USA, a rabies antibody test (titer test) is required if entering from a high-risk country. This test must be conducted at least three months prior to travel.
An import permit is not required for pets entering France from most countries, including the USA. However, it’s always good practice to verify specific requirements with local authorities.
France does not impose a quarantine period for pets arriving from rabies-controlled countries like the USA, provided all entry requirements are met.
Choosing the right travel crate is vital for your pet’s safety and comfort. The crate must meet international standards and provide enough space for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
