Thinking about moving to Europe with your pet? With the right preparation, it’s very doable. Most countries require dogs, cats, and ferrets to be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days before travel, and have an official health certificate. Some destinations have extra rules, like parasite treatments or breed restrictions, so it’s important to check ahead. Costs can vary depending on your pet’s size and travel plans, and you’ll also want to plan for crate training, flight logistics, and finding pet-friendly housing once you arrive. This helpful guide walks you through every step to make the move as smooth as possible.
