Pet Travel Question: Shipping a Pet and Transiting Through Germany

Name: Amy
Number of Pets: 2
Pet Type: Cats
Pet Breed:
From: Serbia
To: Mississippi, USA

What forms are necessary to travel with my pets? They are from Serbia and will be moving to the USA. Normally the flight has a layover in Germany. If they travel in the cabin with us, will they need import forms for Germany as well?

Thanks,

Amy

Hi Amy,

Thank you for your question! Moving your cats from Serbia to the United States will require meeting the US pet import requirements. Generally it's not necessary to meet the requirements for the country you're simply transiting through unless you're leaving the airport or switching airlines. You can read more about transiting with pets here.

We do advise choosing a pet-friendly airline such as KLM or Lufthansa, and it would probably be a good idea to speak to them directly to find out what directions they may have for you.

Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions, and good luck with everything!
