Animal Hospitals to Supply Rabies Cert, Cat Kennels, for Voyages

by Dr. Omaboe

No matter your destination, when traveling abroad with your pet dog, cat, ferret, bird, or other pet, doing your homework can make your trip with your companion a seamless one. A trip to your pet's veterinarian for paperwork and other provisions will likely be in order.

First, whenever traveling globally, always carry an international rabies certification for the dog, cat, or ferret that's with you. Your animal's veterinarian should be completely familiar with this certificate. The date of immunization on the certificate must be within 30 to 365 days of your arrival on overseas soil. Less than 30 days, the vaccination may not be in full effect. More than 365 calendar days, and the vaccination may be terminated.

The Swiss Federal Veterinary Office in each district will also authenticate to make sure that the rabies certification was issued in the region of your main, or previous, residence.

Other requirements include ensuring that pets traveling with you do not number more than five, that they will not be sold, or ownership otherwise transferred, once inside Swiss borders, and that they are intended to act solely as pets.

Importation of dogs with docked tails or cropped ears is prohibited.

An inspection fee of CHF 88 will be collected for each imported cat, dog, or ferret at a customs stations or veterinary facility.

This policy also applies to pets that are traveling back to Switzerland, but do not apply to pets traveling by street or train from other points in Europe.

Comprehensive requirements for specific pets, including procedures and records, for travel to Switzerland as an individual with a pet can be found at the Swiss Customs site.

Swiss arrival rules with an animal, as part of a global group can be found at the Swiss Mission site.

Customs regulations regarding importation of domesticated animals are in place for good reasons. Among which includes protection for you and your animal.

Whether visiting or moving to Switzerland, keep away from a travel nightmare by making total provisions for arrival with your pet. Associate your pet's proper paperwork to your own passport. Not including it, you and your dog, cat, rabbit, or other travel companion will not be crossing the border jointly. - 20511
