Pet Immigration Rules Czech Republic
EUROPEAN UNION (EU) REGULATIONS FOR THE MOVEMENT OF PET CATS,
DOGS AND FERRETS INTO CZECH REPUBLIC FROM WITHIN THE EU, OR FROM A
COUNTRY
WITH A LOW INCIDENCE OF RABIES.
Czech Republic does not quarantine healthy pets who meet the following requirements:
Your pet must have an ISO
pet microchip inserted
and then be vaccinated for rabies and various other diseases at
least 21 days prior to travel and not more than one year prior to
travel. If your animal has been vaccinated before it was fitted with a microchip, it will have to be
vaccinated again. If your pet' microchip is not ISO 11784/11785 compliant, you can bring your own
microchip scanner.
A USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the bi-lingual
Annex II for Czech Republic** for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the
United States or Canada. If you are traveling from another country, the Governmental Authority from your country
should endorse the forms. A copy of the Rabies Certificate should
also be included.
**You can still use the old EU form 998 for entry into an EU country until June 1, 2012, but only if it has been completed by a
licensed veterinarian prior to the end of February, 2012. After that, only the new Annex II form will be accepted.
Pets entering Czech Republic from a
country with a high incidence of rabies,
must have a Blood Titer Test 90 days in advance to avoid quarantine.
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.

be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation
with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place
the pet in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person

compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or
quarantine cannot be arranged.

amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to
the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may
