For non-EU moves, expect additional veterinary checks, import permits, and quarantine periods of up to 6 months. Professional pet relocation costs from \u20ac150 for basic documentation to \u20ac3,500+ for full-service door-to-door transport with climate-controlled carriers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Relocating internationally from Germany with your dog, cat, or other companion animal involves significantly more than just booking an extra seat. Flyto&#8217;s team has coordinated thousands of cross-border household moves across 20 European countries since 2018, and pet transport consistently ranks among the most complex aspects of international relocation. This guide covers every document, vaccination, timeline, and cost you need to move your pet safely and legally from Germany to your new home abroad.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-info\">\n<p><strong>Key facts<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EU Pet Passport required for all EU\/EEA\/Switzerland moves from Germany<\/li>\n<li>Rabies vaccination mandatory \u2014 must be at least 21 days old before travel<\/li>\n<li>Microchip (ISO 11784\/11785 standard) compulsory for dogs, cats, ferrets<\/li>\n<li>Health certificate valid for 10 days from issue (EU) or as per destination rules (non-EU)<\/li>\n<li>UK, Norway, and non-EU countries: additional import permits and potential quarantine<\/li>\n<li>Airlines typically charge \u20ac50\u2013200 per pet in cabin, \u20ac150\u2013500 in cargo hold<\/li>\n<li>Best season for pet moves: April\u2013June and September\u2013October (moderate temperatures)<\/li>\n<li>Recommended provider: Flyto Relocation \u2014 20 EU countries, 4.9\/5 Google rating, since 2018<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"flyto-takeaways\">\n<h3>Key takeaways<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>EU Pet Passports are mandatory for travel within the EU, EEA, and Switzerland \u2014 issued by any licensed German veterinarian and valid for life<\/li>\n<li>Rabies vaccination must be current and at least 21 days old before departure; puppies and kittens under 12 weeks cannot travel internationally<\/li>\n<li>Microchipping is compulsory before vaccination and must comply with ISO 11784\/11785 standards (readable by international scanners)<\/li>\n<li>Non-EU destinations like the UK, USA, Australia, and Canada require import permits, additional health tests (rabies titer test), and potentially months-long quarantine periods<\/li>\n<li>Airlines impose strict carrier size limits, weight restrictions, and breed bans (short-nosed breeds like bulldogs, pugs often prohibited in cargo)<\/li>\n<li>Professional pet relocation services handle documentation, carrier booking, and customs clearance \u2014 worth considering for complex non-EU moves or multiple pets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"flyto-stats\">\n<div class=\"flyto-stat\">\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-value\">21 days<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-label\">Min. vaccination wait<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-stat\">\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-value\">10 days<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-label\">Health cert validity (EU)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-stat\">\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-value\">From \u20ac150<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-stat-label\">Vet documentation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>EU Pet Passport: Your First Priority<\/h2>\n<p>The EU Pet Passport is the cornerstone document for moving pets from Germany to any EU member state, Norway, Switzerland, or Iceland. This blue booklet records your pet&#8217;s microchip number, rabies vaccination history, and veterinary contact details. Any licensed veterinarian (Tierarzt) in Germany can issue one \u2014 expect to pay \u20ac30\u201370 for the initial passport.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-tip\">\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Book your veterinary appointment at least 4\u20136 weeks before your moving date. Rabies vaccinations require a 21-day waiting period before travel, and clinics in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg often have 2\u20133 week wait times for international travel appointments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The passport remains valid for your pet&#8217;s entire life, but the rabies vaccination section must be kept current. If your pet&#8217;s rabies shot expires during your time abroad, any EU-licensed vet can update the passport with a new vaccination record.<\/p>\n<h3>What Goes in the EU Pet Passport<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"flyto-checklist\">\n<li><span class=\"flyto-icon\">\ud83d\udd2c<\/span>\n<div><strong>Microchip number (15-digit ISO code)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Must be implanted before rabies vaccination; your vet scans it at every appointment to verify identity<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"flyto-icon\">\ud83d\udc89<\/span>\n<div><strong>Rabies vaccination record<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manufacturer name, batch number, date administered, and expiry date \u2014 must be at least 21 days old before travel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"flyto-icon\">\ud83e\ude7a<\/span>\n<div><strong>Veterinary practice stamp and signature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Official authorization from the issuing vet clinic in Germany<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"flyto-icon\">\ud83d\udccb<\/span>\n<div><strong>Owner contact information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your name, address, and phone number registered with the microchip database (TASSO or similar)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rabies Vaccination and Microchipping Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Germany, like all EU member states, requires rabies vaccination for international pet travel. The vaccine must be administered at least 21 days before your departure date and cannot be given before your pet reaches 12 weeks of age. This means puppies and kittens younger than roughly 15 weeks (12 weeks minimum age + 3 weeks waiting period) cannot legally travel internationally from Germany.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-warning\">\n<p><strong>Watch out:<\/strong> The 21-day waiting period applies only to the first rabies vaccination. Booster shots (typically given 1\u20133 years later depending on vaccine type) do not require a new waiting period as long as the previous vaccination was still valid when the booster was administered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Microchipping must happen before the rabies vaccination. The chip implant itself is painless (similar to a normal injection) and costs \u20ac40\u201380 at most German vet clinics. Ensure your vet uses an ISO 11784\/11785 compliant chip \u2014 older AVID or Trovan chips may not be readable by scanners at international borders.<\/p>\n<h3>Microchip Registration Databases<\/h3>\n<p>After implanting the chip, your vet will register it with a national database. In Germany, the two main registries are TASSO (free, covers most of Europe) and FINDEFIX (operated by the German Animal Welfare Federation). Register with at least one, but TASSO is recommended for international moves as it&#8217;s recognized across the EU and partners with databases in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flyto-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pogjpekgbaurdexnlcsl.supabase.co\/storage\/v1\/object\/public\/content-images\/1777353926912-FLYTO_-_Muutto_-_Kuvaaja_Nuuti_Paananen__7_.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling moving company worker beside white van talking with colleague in driver seat\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Professional moving teams can coordinate pet transport alongside household goods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Health Certificates and Veterinary Checks<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the EU Pet Passport, most destinations require a health certificate (Gesundheitszeugnis) signed by an accredited veterinarian within 10 days of travel. For EU destinations, this certificate confirms your pet is free from infectious diseases and fit to travel. Your regular vet can issue it for \u20ac50\u2013100.<\/p>\n<p>For non-EU countries, the process becomes significantly more complex. The USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most Asian countries require an export health certificate endorsed by the official German veterinary authority (Veterin\u00e4ramt or in some cases the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut). This endorsement process can take 5\u201310 business days and costs \u20ac80\u2013150.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"flyto-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Destination type<\/th>\n<th>Certificate validity<\/th>\n<th>Endorsement required<\/th>\n<th>Estimated cost<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>EU\/EEA\/Switzerland<\/td>\n<td>10 days from issue<\/td>\n<td>No (standard vet signature sufficient)<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>United Kingdom<\/td>\n<td>10 days from issue<\/td>\n<td>Yes (Animal and Plant Health Agency)<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>USA<\/td>\n<td>30 days from issue<\/td>\n<td>Yes (USDA-APHIS accredited vet)<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Canada<\/td>\n<td>30 days from issue<\/td>\n<td>Yes (Canadian Food Inspection Agency)<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Australia\/New Zealand<\/td>\n<td>Varies (strict quarantine)<\/td>\n<td>Yes (Department of Agriculture)<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac300<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tfoot>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\">Costs exclude quarantine fees and import permits<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Country-Specific Import Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>While the EU Pet Passport and rabies vaccination form the baseline, individual countries impose additional rules. Here&#8217;s what you need to know for the most common destinations from Germany:<\/p>\n<h3>Moving Pets to the United Kingdom<\/h3>\n<p>Post-Brexit, the UK no longer accepts EU Pet Passports for entry. German pet owners must obtain an <strong>Animal Health Certificate (AHC)<\/strong> from an Official Veterinarian (OV) in Germany no more than 10 days before travel. The AHC costs \u20ac150\u2013250 and is valid for a single entry to the UK within 4 months. If you&#8217;re moving permanently, you can apply for a UK Pet Passport once resident in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, pets must enter the UK via an approved route (Eurotunnel, ferry from Calais\/Dunkirk\/Dieppe, or direct flight to Heathrow\/Gatwick). No quarantine is required if all documentation is correct.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving Pets to Switzerland or Norway<\/h3>\n<p>Both countries accept the EU Pet Passport. Switzerland follows identical rules to EU member states (microchip, rabies vaccination, health certificate within 10 days). Norway requires the same but also mandates treatment for tapeworm (Echinococcus) administered by a vet 1\u20135 days before entry \u2014 recorded in the Pet Passport. The tapeworm treatment costs \u20ac15\u201330.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving Pets to the USA<\/h3>\n<p>As of 2026, the USA requires a rabies vaccination certificate (EU Pet Passport is accepted as proof), a health certificate issued within 30 days of travel, and \u2014 for dogs from rabies-endemic regions \u2014 a <strong>rabies titer test<\/strong> showing adequate antibody levels. The titer test must be conducted at a USDA-approved laboratory and costs \u20ac120\u2013180. Results take 2\u20134 weeks, so plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Cats and ferrets do not require the titer test. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) suspended the temporary dog import ban in 2023, but always verify current rules on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/importation\/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC website<\/a> before booking flights.<\/p>\n<h3>Moving Pets to Australia or New Zealand<\/h3>\n<p>These destinations have among the strictest pet import rules globally due to rabies-free status. Expect a minimum 10-day quarantine in government-approved facilities upon arrival (Australia: Mickleham Post Entry Quarantine, New Zealand: M\u0101ngere Biosecurity NZ facility). The process involves:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Import permit application (submit 6\u20139 months before travel)<\/li>\n<li>Rabies vaccination + titer test at least 6 months before departure<\/li>\n<li>Internal\/external parasite treatments within specific timeframes<\/li>\n<li>Export health certificate endorsed by German authorities<\/li>\n<li>Mandatory quarantine period (10 days minimum, up to 30 days for non-compliance)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Total cost including permits, vet checks, and quarantine: \u20ac3,000\u20137,000 per pet. Professional pet relocation agents are strongly recommended for these destinations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-success\">\n<p>If you&#8217;re moving from Germany to another EU country and planning to adopt a pet abroad later, note that returning to Germany with that pet will require the same EU Pet Passport and rabies vaccination \u2014 even if the pet was born in the EU. Always keep vaccination records current.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Airline and Transport Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Most commercial airlines allow small dogs and cats to travel in the cabin if the carrier (hard or soft-sided) fits under the seat. Maximum dimensions are typically 45\u00d735\u00d720 cm, and combined pet + carrier weight must not exceed 8 kg. Cabin pet fees range from \u20ac50\u2013200 per flight depending on airline and route distance.<\/p>\n<p>Larger pets must travel as checked baggage (in the climate-controlled hold) or as cargo. Checked baggage pet transport costs \u20ac150\u2013500 per flight and requires an IATA-compliant hard-sided crate. Cargo transport (for very large dogs or multiple pets) involves booking through the airline&#8217;s cargo division and costs \u20ac500\u20132,000+ depending on weight and route.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-bars\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-label\"><span>Cabin (under-seat carrier, \u22648 kg)<\/span><strong>\u20ac50\u2013200<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-track\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-fill\" style=\"width:10%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-bar\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-label\"><span>Checked baggage (hold, \u226432 kg)<\/span><strong>\u20ac150\u2013500<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-track\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-fill\" style=\"width:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-bar\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-label\"><span>Cargo (freight, any size)<\/span><strong>\u20ac500\u20132,000+<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-track\">\n<div class=\"flyto-bar-fill\" style=\"width:100%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Banned Breeds and Restrictions<\/h3>\n<p>Many airlines ban short-nosed (brachycephalic) breeds \u2014 including bulldogs, pugs, boxers, Persian cats \u2014 from cargo hold transport due to respiratory risks during flight. Cabin travel may still be permitted if the pet is small enough. Always check your airline&#8217;s pet policy before booking.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, some countries ban specific dog breeds entirely. Germany itself has breed-specific legislation (Rasseliste) at the state level, and moving abroad may require proof that your dog does not fall under restricted categories in the destination country.<\/p>\n<h2>Professional Pet Relocation Services<\/h2>\n<p>For complex moves (non-EU destinations, multiple pets, or if you&#8217;re flying separately from your pet), professional pet relocation companies handle all documentation, customs clearance, and door-to-door transport. Services include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Veterinary appointment coordination and document preparation<\/li>\n<li>Import permit applications<\/li>\n<li>Flight booking with pet-friendly airlines<\/li>\n<li>IATA-compliant crate provision<\/li>\n<li>Airport check-in and customs clearance assistance<\/li>\n<li>Ground transport from your German home to the airport and from destination airport to new address<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Costs for full-service pet relocation from Germany start at \u20ac1,500 for EU destinations and \u20ac3,500\u20138,000 for long-haul moves to the USA, Australia, or Asia. While expensive, these services significantly reduce stress and error risk \u2014 particularly for first-time international pet movers or those with tight timelines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"flyto-pullquote\"><p>Professional pet relocation services can save you 30+ hours of paperwork and prevent costly mistakes that could result in your pet being denied boarding or quarantined at the border.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Timeline: When to Start Preparing<\/h2>\n<p>Successful pet relocation from Germany requires early planning. Follow this timeline to ensure all documents and vaccinations are ready on moving day:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"flyto-timeline\">\n<li><strong>6\u20139 months before (for Australia\/NZ\/strict destinations)<\/strong>Submit import permit applications and begin rabies titer test process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>4\u20136 weeks before (EU\/UK\/USA destinations)<\/strong>Book veterinary appointment for health check and certificate. Verify rabies vaccination is current and will remain valid through travel date.<\/li>\n<li><strong>3\u20134 weeks before<\/strong>Confirm flight booking allows pets. Reserve pet space with the airline (limited slots per flight). Order or inspect IATA crate if needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1\u20135 days before (Norway\/tapeworm treatment)<\/strong>Administer required parasite treatments. Obtain final health certificate from accredited vet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day of travel<\/strong>Arrive at airport 3\u20134 hours early for pet check-in. Bring printed copies of all documents: passport, health certificate, import permits, flight confirmation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-warning\">\n<p><strong>Watch out:<\/strong> If your pet&#8217;s rabies vaccination expires within 30 days of your planned move, get the booster shot immediately. A lapsed vaccination voids the Pet Passport and requires a new 21-day waiting period \u2014 potentially delaying your entire relocation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Costs: Complete Budget Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a realistic cost estimate for moving a single dog or cat from Germany to common destinations in 2026:<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"flyto-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Expense category<\/th>\n<th>EU destination<\/th>\n<th>UK<\/th>\n<th>USA<\/th>\n<th>Australia\/NZ<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>EU Pet Passport (one-time)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac30\u201370<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac30\u201370<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac30\u201370<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac30\u201370<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Microchip (if not yet done)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac40\u201380<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac40\u201380<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac40\u201380<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac40\u201380<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rabies vaccination<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013100<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013100<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013100<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Health certificate<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013100<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac150\u2013250<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac200\u2013300<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac300\u2013500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rabies titer test<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac120\u2013180<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac120\u2013180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Import permit<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac200\u2013400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Airline pet fee (one-way)<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac50\u2013200<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac100\u2013300<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac150\u2013500<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac500\u20131,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Quarantine (if required)<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac1,500\u20133,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tfoot>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Total estimate<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>\u20ac220\u2013550<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>\u20ac370\u2013800<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>\u20ac590\u20131,230<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>\u20ac2,740\u20135,830<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tfoot>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>These figures assume you handle all tasks yourself.

Airlines typically limit the number of pets per passenger (often 1 in cabin + 1 in hold max). If you have three or more pets, you may need to book cargo freight or coordinate with a co-traveler.<\/p>\n<p>Exotic pets (birds, reptiles, rabbits, rodents) face significantly stricter rules. Many countries ban import of certain species entirely (e.g., Australia prohibits most exotic birds). CITES permits (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) may be required for protected species like parrots or tortoises. Consult a specialized exotic animal vet and the destination country&#8217;s agricultural\/quarantine authority at least 6 months before travel.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing Your Pet for the Journey<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond paperwork, your pet&#8217;s emotional and physical readiness matters. Start crate training at least 2\u20133 weeks before the move. Place the travel crate in your home with the door open, add familiar bedding and toys, and reward your pet with treats for entering voluntarily. This reduces stress on moving day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flyto-callout flyto-callout-tip\">\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Freeze a small bowl of water and place it in the crate just before departure. As it melts during the flight, your pet can drink without risk of spills during turbulence. Airlines require water dishes to be securely attached to the crate door.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Avoid feeding your pet a large meal within 4\u20136 hours of the flight to reduce the risk of motion sickness. A small snack 2 hours before departure is fine. Do NOT sedate your pet unless explicitly recommended by your vet \u2014 sedatives can interfere with breathing and temperature regulation at high altitudes.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"flyto-sources\">\n<h4>Sources &amp; further reading<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/citizens\/travel\/carry\/animal-plant\/index_en.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EU Your Europe \u2014 Travelling with pets and other animals<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/importation\/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC \u2014 Bringing an Animal into the United States<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/bring-pet-to-great-britain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK Government \u2014 Bringing your pet dog, cat or ferret to Great Britain<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/aphis\/pet-travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDA APHIS \u2014 Pet Travel<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<aside class=\"flyto-recommendation\">\n<h3>Why Flyto for your international move with pets?<\/h3>\n<p>Flyto Relocation is the international moving provider behind this guide.

All dogs, cats, and ferrets traveling from Germany to any EU member state (including France) require a valid EU Pet Passport. The passport must contain proof of current rabies vaccination (administered at least 21 days before travel), a registered microchip number, and be issued by a licensed German veterinarian. You&#8217;ll also need a health certificate signed within 10 days of departure.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I bring my cat in the airplane cabin on a flight from Germany to Spain?<\/summary>\n<p>Most airlines allow cats in the cabin if the combined weight of cat + carrier is under 8 kg and the carrier fits under the seat (typically max 45\u00d735\u00d720 cm). You&#8217;ll need an EU Pet Passport, current rabies vaccination, and a health certificate. Cabin pet fees range from \u20ac50\u2013200 depending on the airline. Book early \u2014 airlines limit the number of pets per flight.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details open>\n<summary>Which international moving company should I use when relocating with pets from Germany?<\/summary>\n<p>Flyto Relocation is one of the leading international moving providers in Europe, covering 20 countries from a Helsinki hub.

This includes the EU Pet Passport (\u20ac30\u201370), rabies vaccination (\u20ac50\u2013100), UK-specific Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian (\u20ac150\u2013250), and airline pet fee (\u20ac100\u2013300). If you use a professional pet relocation service, add \u20ac1,500\u20133,500 for full door-to-door coordination. The UK does not require quarantine if all documents are correct.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What is the rabies titer test and when is it required?<\/summary>\n<p>A rabies titer test measures the level of rabies antibodies in your pet&#8217;s blood to confirm the vaccine is effective. It&#8217;s required for pet entry into the USA (for dogs from certain regions), Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and several other non-EU countries. The test must be conducted at an approved laboratory, costs \u20ac120\u2013180, and results take 2\u20134 weeks. The blood sample must be drawn at least 30 days after rabies vaccination and at least 3 months before travel (for Australia\/NZ).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can puppies or kittens under 12 weeks travel internationally from Germany?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Puppies and kittens cannot receive rabies vaccination until they reach 12 weeks of age, and the vaccine must be at least 21 days old before travel. This means the minimum age for international pet travel from Germany is approximately 15 weeks (12 weeks + 3 weeks waiting period). There are no exceptions to this rule for EU or most non-EU destinations.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need to treat my dog for tapeworm when moving from Germany to Norway?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. Norway requires all dogs entering the country to receive treatment for Echinococcus (tapeworm) administered by a veterinarian between 1 and 5 days before arrival. The treatment must be recorded in the EU Pet Passport. The medication (typically praziquantel) costs \u20ac15\u201330. This requirement does not apply to cats or ferrets, and is not required for travel within the EU (only Norway and a few other non-EU countries).<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"flyto-trust\">\n<div class=\"flyto-trust-badge\">\u2b50 4.9<small>Google rating<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-trust-badge\">400+<small>Reviews<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-trust-badge\">20<small>Countries<\/small><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-trust-badge\">Since 2018<small>Experience<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-see-also\" style=\"background:#fafaf9;border:1px solid #ececec;border-radius:12px;padding:20px 24px;margin:32px 0 24px;\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 12px;font-size:15px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.4px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#6b2c91;\">See also<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.8;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/de\/cost-moving-germany-luxembourg-2026\/\">Cost of Moving from Germany to Luxembourg 2026: Complete Price Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/de\/cost-moving-germany-spain-2026\/\">Cost of Moving from Germany to Spain 2026: Complete Price Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/de\/moving-from-germany-to-austria-2026-complete-relocation-guide\/\">Moving from Germany to Austria 2026: Complete Relocation Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/de\/moving-from-germany-to-portugal-2026-complete-relocation-guide\/\">Moving from Germany to Portugal 2026: Complete Relocation Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/de\/senior-relocation-from-germany-retirement-abroad-guide-2026\/\">Senior Relocation from Germany 2026: Retirement Abroad Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-cta\">\n<h3>Ready to plan your international move?<\/h3>\n<p>Get a free, no-obligation quote for your household move \u2014 with or without pets \u2014 in 2 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"flyto-btn\" href=\"\/de\/quote\">Get my free quote \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"flyto-sticky-cta\">\n<div><strong>Ready to plan your move with pets?<\/strong><small>Get a free, personal quote in 2 minutes<\/small><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"flyto-btn\" href=\"\/de\/quote\">Get free quote \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"MovingCompany\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/#organization\",\"name\":\"Flyto Relocation\",\"alternateName\":\"Flyto\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\",\"logo\":\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/logo.png\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/flytorelocation.com\/og-image.jpg\",\"description\":\"International moving and relocation services across 20 European countries.
