Hello,

I need information about requirements needed for me sending my dog to his new owner at Saxony-Anhalt. What documents are needed and what is the procedure?

Please email me with some information, including what airline I should use.


Regards,

Hi Natalia,

Thanks for your question, we'd be happy to help. Here are the pet import requirements for Germany. You'll need to take care of a few things, including a microchip for your dog and the required vaccinations.

We highly recommend choosing a pet friendly airline (we often choose KLM and Lufthansa for international moves -- carriers with pet friendly practices), and you'll want to make sure your travel crate is large enough and also airline-approved. If your dog is not used to being in a travel crate, you'll want to help him grow accustomed to it well before the trip (this minimizes stress and makes the trip smoother overall).

Pet travel can be confusing, so please let us know if you have any questions. We do offer door-to-door services, so you can contact us if you're interested in a price estimate.

Thanks again for reaching out to us, and good luck with everything!
