Rabies Vaccination
A valid rabies vaccination is required. The dog must be at least 12 weeks old at vaccination. At least 21 days must pass after the primary vaccination course before the dog may enter the EU. No waiting period required after a booster if vaccinations have been kept current without a break.
Dogs from Great Britain (post-Brexit) require an Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by an official veterinarian in GB, valid for 10 days from issue for entry. The AHC must follow EU Annex IV format. A previously-issued EU Pet Passport issued in the UK before 1 January 2021 is no longer valid for entry into the EU — a new AHC is required for each trip.
The dog must be implanted with an ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip before the rabies vaccination is administered. If vaccination was done before microchipping, the vaccination course must be restarted after chipping.
