Thanks to EU rules on travelling with pets, people are free to move with their furry friend within the EU. Make sure your pet has the following before you leave on holiday:
Identification via a registered microchip or a readable tattoo, if applied before 3 July 2011
A pet passport proving that they have been vaccinated against rabies and are fit to travel
Dogs travelling to Finland, Ireland, Malta, or Norway must be treated against the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm
In general you can travel with a maximum of five animals. European pet passports are issued for dogs, cats and ferrets only. If you wish to travel with other pets, you should check the entry conditions of your destination country.
