Planning a move to Spain and bringing your furry friend along? Relocating to this vibrant and historic country with your pet is an exciting adventure, but it requires navigating specific import regulations. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential details about shipping pets to Spain and how Airpets International can make the process seamless and stress-free.
Spain is a pet-friendly destination, known for its warm climate, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming culture. While Spain offers plenty of opportunities for you and your pet to explore, understanding entry requirements is crucial. Pets entering Spain must meet EU regulations, including vaccinations, microchipping, and health certificates. Ensuring these are completed in advance will help avoid delays or complications upon arrival.
When moving your pet to Spain, compliance with EU pet travel regulations is essential. Here are the key requirements:
All pets must be microchipped with an ISO-compliant microchip (ISO 11784/11785). The microchip must be implanted before the rabies vaccination.
Your pet must be vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days before travel. Additionally, a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian within 10 days of travel is required, confirming your pet is fit to fly and free from infectious diseases.
A rabies titer test may be required for pets traveling from high-risk rabies countries. Ensure this is completed well in advance, as results can take time to process.
Pets from non-EU countries may require an import permit. Check with Spanish authorities or consult with Airpets International to confirm specific requirements.
Spain does not require quarantine for pets that meet all of the country’s import and health requirements.
For pets traveling within the EU, an EU pet passport is required, which includes vaccination records and microchip details. For pets traveling from non-EU countries, equivalent documentation is necessary.
Your pet’s travel crate must meet IATA standards, providing enough space for your pet to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Proper ventilation and secure closures are essential.
