REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET TO ALBANIA

Albania does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements:

You must obtain an import license prior to entering the country.

Your pet must be vaccinated for rabies and various other diseases at least 30 days prior to travel and not more than 12 months prior to travel. Within several weeks of travel, the Albania Veterinary Certificate must be completed.

Although it is not required, we recommend that a USDA or CFIA licensed veterinarian complete the form and you have it endorsed by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included. This, together with the veterinary certificate and approved import license, will complete your cat or dog passport for Albania.

Your dog or cat, when entering Albania must be microchipped with the ISO 11784/11785 15 digit pet microchip. If your pet's microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner.

You must make prior arrangements for the Country Veterinarian to meet your pet on arrival for inspection; there is a fee for the inspection.

Dog Passport Albania

Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place your cat or dog in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person responsible for the pet, or as a last resort, without financial compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or quarantine cannot be arranged.

All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the country of destination.

VETERINARY CERTIFICATE
Many countries have a unique veterinary certificates. This form may differ from the International Veterinary Certificate issued by veterinarians in the United States. (APHIS 7001) It is an essential part of the cat or dog passport.
