Pet Passport Holland-Netherlands

Dog Passport Holland Netherlands

EUROPEAN UNION (EU) REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG, CAT OR FERRETS INTO (HOLLAND) NETHERLANDS FROM WITHIN THE EU, OR FROM A COUNTRY WITH A LOW INCIDENCE OF RABIES.

The Netherlands does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements:

Your dog, cat or ferret must have an ISO pet microchip and be vaccinated for rabies and various other diseases at least 30 days prior to travel and not more than one year prior to travel. If your pet's microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own microchip scanner.

Within 10 days of entry, a USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the bi-lingual Annex II for the Netherlands for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the United States or Canada. If you are not traveling from either of these countries, then the Governing Authority should endorse the forms. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included. This completes your cat or dog passport to the Netherlands when entering from a rabies free or country with a low incidence of rabies.

Pets entering Holland-Netherlands from a country with a high incidence of rabies, must have a Blood Titer Test 1 month after vaccination and 3 months prior to entry.

RESTRICTIONS: Unvaccinated pets (dogs and cats only) under 3 months old may enter an EU Country, but there are additional regulations that must be met. Certain aggressive breeds of dogs are prohibited from entry.

Pets entering an EU Country for commercial purposes require additional forms and different rules apply.
