Travel with your pet to Malta: A practical guide

Are you crazy about your four-legged friend? Don’t worry, it should not be considered as a “brake” for your vacations or your expatriation in Malta, but it should not be considered as a detail either.

Indeed, your beloved pet may be the cutest among his fellow creatures, but that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to travel with him. Traveling with a dog, a cat, a reptile or a bird requires certain specificities.

We will see together what are all the constraints and steps required to bring your pet to Malta.

What you should know before you leave: the condition of animals in Malta

If you are already in Malta, you may have noticed that there are few dogs in Malta. There are no stray dogs , and few domesticated dogs walking on the street on a leash. Or perhaps it is the astronomical presence of cats that suggests that there are few canines?

Indeed, Malta is home to many cats, which are much loved by tourists and pampered by the locals. These small felines are considered sacred on the whole archipelago. A shelter in the street here, bowls in public gardens there … You will often be asked to make a donation so that associations take care of them. Many associations such as Stray Animal Support Group or Animal Care Malta , are constantly raising funds for vets and food . In many supermarkets and grocery stores, there are even small pools inviting customers to make donations.

The Maltese also love feathered animals , and they bring them everywhere. It is not uncommon to see people driving in their cars with a cage on their lap . Otherwise, especially in Gozo, it is common to see a small gathering of grandfathers and grandmothers, each sitting on his chair on a sidewalk, with a large birdcage in the middle.

At the entrance of Manoel Island, near Gzira, you will even find a village dedicated to all kinds of animals: chickens, guinea pigs, swans, turkeys… They are fed every day by locals and tourists.

In general, animals are respected and protected in Malta. There are no zoos , just very well maintained nature reserves, and the government only allows hunting one week a year.

Travelling with your pet and arriving in the country

Airline standards.

– Air Malta: All flights offer two different options. Firstly: the transport in the cabin . For an additional 70€ , you can transport your cat, small dog, rodent or other small animal in a cage that will be placed under your seat . The total weight (animal + cage) must not exceed 10kg . Air Malta will only accept the animal on board if it has been examined by an approved veterinarian within 3 days and found fit for travel. Then, the transport in hold . Rates vary between 70 and 150€ depending on the weight of the animal and include the care of the animal from the check-in to the arrival hall.

– Air France and equivalent: The conditions are generally the same as with Air Malta, and the fares are more advantageous : 55€ for a cabin trip and 100€ for a hold trip. However, you should know that if the animal and its cage weigh more than 75 kg, it cannot travel with you in the cabin or in the hold, so it will be transported by cargo .

– Ryanair: Like many low-cost airlines, Ryanair does not carry animals , with the exception of guide dogs. For other airlines (Alitalia, SwissAir, KLM, Vueling, Lufthansa…) the conditions are similar to those of Air France and Air Malta.

Ferry company standards

This section is dedicated to the adventurous who want to come to Malta with their car and to the adventurous who want to make a trip to the neighboring island of Sicily.

It is possible to take your pets with the two main companies which are Virtu Ferries and Grimaldi Lines.

The crossing takes 90 minutes , and with Virtu Ferries you can take your pet in a cage for an extra 12€ , or leave them on a leash in the outdoor area for an extra 16€ .

If you have rodents or small robust animals you can leave them in the car at no extra cost.

Grimaldi Lines has a kennel to accommodate dogs over 6 kilos that cannot fit in a cage.

Steps to take before travelling with your pet to Malta

General procedures: It is necessary to apply for an import permit from the Ministry of Sustainable Development for your animal, whatever it is. To allow your pet to enter Malta, you need an essential document for its passage through customs: a certificate of good health . This document is issued by a veterinarian and must be recent.

Dogs and cats : If you are pet-friendly travelers and have taken them to many countries, you know the angst of quarantine… Rest assured: Malta does not practice quarantine for animals that have spent their last 6 months in a “rabies free” or “low rabies risk” country, which is the case of most of european countries.

Your pet will still need to have been vaccinated against rabies at least 21 days prior to importation into Malta. Finally, it must be equipped with a 15-digit microchip and have a European passport .

Other animals: Enough about doggies and pussies, let’s move on to birds, fish, reptiles, rodents, rabbits… Phew, things are getting simpler: No rabies vaccination requirements . Again, you will need to be in possession of the certificate of good health that we mentioned earlier.

If your animal is a protected or endangered species , standards no longer depend on the Maltese government but are subject to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. They are therefore much more complex and we invite you to consult directly the CITES website.

Steps to take once on site

First of all, you should know that regardless of the means of transportation chosen, domestic dogs and cats are examined upon arrival in Malta . Any suspicion or detection of a disease transmissible to humans leads to a thorough examination by a local veterinarian, at the animal owner’s expense.

Otherwise, the only advice we can give you is to enjoy as much as possible and to let your pet enjoy it too . If you have a dog, don’t hesitate to bring it with you to the beach . There are some public beaches that allow dogs, otherwise, all rocky beaches allow dogs to swim outside the areas marked with buoys. You can find here our top of the most beautiful beaches of the archipelago . You can also bring your dog to restaurants , most of them accept them.

Malta is a very clean country when it comes to dog waste. It’s very simple: there is none! The locals always clean up after their dogs, and the fines are very high if you don’t clean up or even if you walk your dog without a bag to pick up the waste.

Taking A Dog To Malta: Rules & Regulations

Taking a dog to Malta is not that complicated, you just need to know about the Rules & Regulations first before you start planning for that dream holiday with your family and dog.

Now your dog will need to go through some tests first before travelling to Malta, so make sure you plan ahead and leave yourself plenty of time to prepare.

Is Malta Dog Friendly

So the first thing you want to ask yourself, ”Is Malta Dog Friendly” and is it a good place to be taking your dog on holiday. Because the last thing you want, once your in Malta, is to find out your dog is not welcome at any of the places you visit.

The good news is ” YES ” Malta is extremely dog friendly, and it’s definitely a place where your dog will feel right at home, with all the dog friendly beaches, bars, and restaurants it’s worth the trip.

But like all countries there are rules you need to follow, even when you have your dog in Malta, you still need to abide by their guidelines, and in this article your learn exactly what these’s rules and guidelines are.

Dogs Passport

Now if your already living in the EU then your need a Dogs Passport, Malta accept all pet passports that are from the EU. But if your from a non EU country then this is where your need a health certificate for your dog.

A dogs health certificate is a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI) this is to declare that your dog is healthy and fit for travel. Your dog will need to go through some medical tests before your are issued the dogs health certificate.

All the tests your dog will go through to obtain this health certificate is the same when applying for a Dogs Passport and there will be a fee. Your Dogs Passport or health Certificate will then be filled in, stamped and signed by an Official Veterinarian once all the tests are complete.

To enquire about apply for pets passport or health certificate contact your local vet and tell them that you plan on travelling abroad with your dog, they will then book an appointment to see you and your dog.

Your vet can also advise you about how much this will all cost. Here in the UK the cost for a dogs passport can be anywhere between £80 to £150 and this is not including any costs for additional vaccination’s if required.

Dog Vaccinations

Dog Vaccinations are very important when travelling abroad, and most countries require your dog to be vaccinated before you can enter, and Malta is no different.

Before you travel to Malta, your dog need’s to have a primary or booster vaccination and the primary vaccination needs to be administered 21 days before you enter the country.

The good news once you have visited Malta with your dog, the 21 day waiting period is not required with more visits, but this is only if the rabies boosters are kept up to date.

If your taking a dog to Malta that’s from a high rabies country, then you must wait for a minimum of 30 days after the primary or booster vaccination before you can administer the rabies titer test.

What Is A Rabies Titer Test?

A rabies titer test is basically an estimation of your dogs immune response against the rabies virus. This is done by taking blood samples from your dog, theses blood sample’s are then taken to a laboratory where the tests are conducted.

Once your dogs test results come back as all clear then you can enter Malta, but no sooner than 3 months from the date of the blood test. If you arrive within that time then your dog will be quarantined until the 3 months are up.

Dog Microchip Registration

You will need to get your dog micro chipped before heading to Malta, this is also one of the requirements to obtain a dogs passport or health certificate.

I’ve said this many times before but losing your dog abroad can be heart breaking for you the owner, and the chances of finding your dog without a micro chip can be slim.

So having your dog micro chipped is not only a requirement, but this is going to put your mind at ease, just in case anything was to happen and your dog was lost

If your dog already has a microchip then just remember to make sure all your details on your dogs microchip are up to date. To make arrangements for a Dog Microchip Registration all you need to do is call your local vet and they can get the ball rolling.

It’s a painless procedure for your dog and takes only seconds to install. The price for this can vary, but here in the UK the vet will usually charge around £15 for the implant.

Tapeworm Treatment

Another requirement before taking your dog to Malta is, you will need to have your dog treated for tapeworm this can be done one to five days before entering the country.

If your travelling from the United Kingdom Finland or Norway then this will not be required. The Tapeworm Treatment can be given to your dog orally or by injection.

Your veterinarian should also record the tapeworm treatment and vaccinations on the health certificate or passport, depending on where your travelling from.

Banned Dog Breeds In Malta

One thing that lot of people forget to do when taking a dog to Malta or anywhere abroad is to check whether your dog is allowed in the country.

There’s alot of countries including Malta and here in the UK where certain dog breeds are classed as dangerous and banned from entering the country.

In 1998 there were restrictions on keeping certain dangerous dogs breeds in Malta that I’ve listed below. If you don’t have any of theses dog breeds then your be fine to enter Malta with your dog.

• American Pitt Bull Terrier
• Dogo Argentino – Argentine Mastiff
• Fila Brasileiro – Brazillian Mastiff

Dog Friendly Beaches In Malta

There are plenty of Dog Friendly Beaches In Malta to explore with your dog, and it’s always a good idea to know about theses beaches, and what the rules and regulations are ahead of time, so you don’t run into any trouble later on.

Even when a beach is dog friendly there are still rules you need to follow in order to use the beach with your dog, So below is an example of two Beaches in Malta that are dog friendly and what the rules are.

Xwejni bay beach is a beauitful beach that located in Gozo Marsalforn, where your dog is welcome all through the year. Dogs are even allow to swim, which is great because not all beaches in Malta allow this.

Your dog must be on a leash at all times when on the beach, and your responsible for any mess your dog might make, so it’s a good idea to pack some bags just in case.

Rinella bay beach is a small sandy beach located in kalkara, and is dog friendly, again you can let your dog take a dip in the ocean here, but your dog will need to be on a lead when walking on the beach.

Malta like to keep there beaches clean, so always make sure you clean up after your dog as you are responsible for any accidents or any damage that might occur.

So as you can see the rules are very simple on the two beaches I’ve just mentioned, as long as you follow the rules and make sure your dog doesn’t bother anyone that’s sunbathing then you and your dog will be fine.

Flying With A Dog

So at this point we have gone through all rules and regulations, everything your need to know for taking a dog to Malta. We even looked at some dog friendly beaches so now the next thing is transportation.

If your planning on flying with your dog to Malta, again there are rules you need to be aware of before booking your flight.

For example: Air Malta accept dogs and other pets in the cabin that are under 10 kg of weight and this includes the dog carrier. The carrier itself must not measure more than 40 cm x 34 cm x 20 cm and must be of the collapsible type. 

The dog carrier must also be placed underneath the seat in front of the owner without blocking any person’s path to the main aisle of the plane

Only adults may carry a pet in the cabin and only one container per passenger is permitted. A single payment of €70.00 that’s non refundable is applicable per container you carry in the cabin

If your dog and carrier exceeds the dimensions or weight limits, then your dog will have to travel in the cargo hold. Fees will apply

Dog Carrier

Picking the right Dog Carrier is very important, whether your travelling by plane, train, or ferry, they all require that your dog is transported in a suitable carrier.

Having a dog carrier will make it a’lot easier when transporting your dog, and as mentioned above Airlines wont even let you board with your dog unless your have correct carrier that are within the rule and regulations.

Now if you haven’t got a dog carrier, the place i recommend you start is Amazon there your find dog carriers that are already airline approved with customer reviews and prices. To view theses Airline Approved Dog Carriers on Amazon Click Here

2 reviews on “malta”.

Finding dog-friendly places to stay isn’t too hard. There are more summer options than winter

Transit, however, was hassle-free, with buses welcoming us without any issue.

All the beautiful hiking trails were dog-friendly, and we took our furry friend into numerous restaurants without any problems.

The only aspect making Malta somewhat trickier is its island location. To reach Malta, You have to fly or go on a ferry, and the in-cabin size for flying allowance for pets is limited to 20 lbs, meaning larger dogs must travel in cargo. Additionally, a specific vet visit for Malta health approval is required for your pet passport a few days before travel for de-worming.

Even though I have an EU pet passport, it doesn’t get inspected most of the time when I cross to different countries. It did in Malta. I had to tell the vet I was coming and I had to do an extra step with a deworming treatment. We crossed with our car from Sicily and it wasn’t too difficult.

My dog loves the beach running around and swimming. In Malta, they are a little strict about what beaches dogs can visit especially in the summer, so that’s why we visited in the spring. Dogs can’t go on the sandy beaches or swim at the “official bathing beaches”, so we felt pretty limited. The beach Bahar ic-Caghaq by Splash and Fun was probably our favorite, but it was still a little rocky. We also liked Zonqor Point in Marsascala.

Dogs can’t go in most of the historical places either, so I don’t think I would pick Malta again for a beach holiday unless I got a pet sitter.

How to Travel to Malta with a Dog

Malta was the 22nd European country that I visited with my dog, just over a year after we arrived in Europe, in early 2018. We were in need of some sunshine and warmth at the end of winter, and Malta in winter is a great destination.

Despite being part of the European Union, Malta is one of the trickier countries in Europe to travel to with a dog, thanks to extra requirements for a vet inspection on arrival, plus a worming treatment beforehand.

The night before our flight, I was a bit worried (both because it would be my dog’s first flight in 10 months and there was a potential hiccup with our paperwork), but it all ended up going quite smoothly, luckily! Here’s the steps we went through to travel to Malta with our dog.

Paperwork for Travelling to Malta with a Dog

Just like other European Union countries , to travel to Malta with your dog they’ll require an EU pet passport (or other paperwork from your country of origin), showing your dog’s microchip number and proof of rabies vaccination.

Additionally, Malta is one of the countries that also requires your dog to be wormed by a vet, between five days and 24 hours before arriving in the country.

Then there’s an extra special step just for Malta. Malta also requires you to notify them of the arrival of your pet , at least three working days before arrival. This is so your pet can be inspected on arrival by a veterinarian (at the airport or ferry terminal).

The form is available online . The form requires your arrival details (flight or ferry), plus more details including your dog’s passport number, microchip number and rabies vaccination date. Once submitted, you receive an email with a number to go back and edit details if required.

Dog-Friendly Transport Options to Malta

There’s multiple ways to travel with your dog to Malta, including taking a ferry from Sicily or flying directly to Malta.

Taking the Ferry from Sicily to Malta with a Dog

Our initial plan to travel to Malta with our dog from Sicily was to take the ferry operated by Virtu Ferries. The ferry crossing only takes a couple of hours and there are four options for pets available :

Pets in Vehicles: If you’re travelling with a car, you can leave your pets in your car with the window open. Your first three pets travel for free, then €12 for each subsequent pet.

Pet Cabin: Alternatively, your pets can travel in the “pet cabin”, an air-conditioned and insulated room located on the vehicle deck with individual cages for pets. There is a charge of €25 and pre-bookings are essential.

Pets on Outside Deck: You can also travel with your dog or cat on the outside deck, in an allocated area, as long as you supply your own leak-proof pet cage, up to 70 x 50 x 51.5cm in size. Note that this isn’t possible during inclement weather, in which case an alternative location is provided. A charge of €15 applies.

Small Pets in Passenger Areas: Finally, if you have a small pet pet in a leak-proof pet cage, no larger than 48 x 35 x 35cm, they can travel by your seat in the passenger areas. Naturally they are not allowed outside. A charge of €15 applies.

However, the ferries principally depart from Pozzallo, a small town on the southern coast of Sicily, where there are no hire car offices (to drop off a hire car) or easy public transport connections. The location is fine if you’re travelling with your car, but otherwise rather difficult.

Selected ferry services connect with a coach service from the large city of Catania, but dogs are not allowed on the coach, only guide dogs.

Alternatively, since our visit to Malta in 2018, there is now the option to book transfers from selected cities, either in a car or minivan, with dogs potentially allowed, as least small pets in a carrier.

Flying to Malta with a Dog

We ended up choosing to fly to Malta with our dog with AirMalta. AirMalta is a very pet-friendly airline, allowing pets to fly in the cabin , as well as in the hold as checked baggage or as cargo.

For pets in the cabin, they have a generous weight allowance of up to 10kg including carrier bag, although the maximum dimensions of the carrier are a small 40 cm x 34 cm x 20 cm. There is a flat fee of €70, regardless of flight duration. Pet strollers can even be carried for free!

We booked to fly out of Catania Airport, where we could easily pick-up and drop-off a hire car for our stay on Sicily. Its a very short flight from Catania to Malta: it was scheduled to take 40 minutes, but in reality we spent under half an hour in the hour!

Note that bookings for pets on AirMalta can’t be done online, instead you need to call up to book (which we did immediately after booking our own tickets). Additionally, AirMalta states in their pet policy that your pet should have a health check from a vet noted in their passport within three days of the flight.

(One side note for UK readers: When flying out of the UK, AirMalta allows your dog to fly in the cabin, just not when returning to the UK.)

Our Adventure Visiting a Vet in Sicily

The next step to organise was a visit to the vet in Sicily, which would be extra tricky as neither my husband or I speak more than a smattering of Italian. We’d previously visited vets in Paris and Nuremberg, where a quick Google search for English speaking vets turned up plenty of options, but a similar search didn’t turn up anything on all of Sicily…

Complicating things, we only had a narrow window of time to visit the vet. Our dog needed the worming treatment between 5 days and 24 hours before the flight. And the health check for the AirMalta flight was required within 3 days of the flight. Meaning, the vet visit needed to be done within a 48 hour window.

And as our flight was on a Tuesday at 1:30pm, that meant from Saturday 1:30pm to Monday 1:30pm. Although preferably not on the Monday morning, as we wanted to do a trip up Mt Etna that day. Meaning, ideally on Sunday or else the Saturday afternoon! And as expected, not many vets in Sicily are open on a Sunday…

I ended up just searching on Google Maps for vets which listed opening hours and were open on Sunday, in between the town of Milazzo and the city of Catania (the area we would be travelling through that Sunday). I found a 24-hour clinic in Catania with an email address and sent an email (prepared with Google Translate), but didn’t receive a reply.

The reviews also weren’t that great, so I cajoled my husband into calling a vet near Milazzo. Success: appointment made with our pre-prepared Italian phrases and a little English!

I hoped when arriving at the vet that he would be able to speak some English, but that wasn’t the case. He also didn’t seem overly familiar with the EU Pet Passport. He was working in a small town, not a big city, I guess.

He gave our dog the worming tablet and then filled in the relevant section. But when we said we needed the health check filled out, he didn’t seem to understand what we needed (and we didn’t have enough reception to use Google Translate on our phones), so he wrote a letter instead. We paid the bill (just €30) and hoped it was all good.

Our Experience Flying and Arriving in Malta

The night before our flight, I started to worry. As well as the fact the health check wasn’t actually written in the passport (and could be an issue for either the flight or our arrival in Malta), I also suspected that our dog’s carrier bag was probably a touch larger than the requirements specified by AirMalta. Not that I could check, as I didn’t have a ruler.

When booking, the lady had asked the measurements, and my husband said he didn’t know but we’d used it for flying before, so just said it was the maximum. Although it is soft, so could be squished down, if necessary – but only if we got past the check-in desk!

Also, I’d written down that it might cost €50 for the vet inspection on arrival in Malta, but now I couldn’t find anything about a fee.

Checking in at the Airport

The next day, we arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare. At the check-in counter, the lady at asked for our pet’s passport and quickly glanced at it. (I don’t think she even looked for the health check I had worried over, I think she just made sure our dog had one.)

And just like the last time we flew in Europe with our dog in the cabin, she barely glanced at him in the bag, didn’t check the size or weight. We were through!

After a final lunch of arancini and cannoli, it was then time for boarding. Our dog’s carrier bag fitted under the seat, no problems. (Although given the lack of foot space left for my husband, he was glad it was just a quick flight).

Arriving in Malta

When we arrived at the airport in Malta, we headed for the baggage carousel, as we’d checked in luggage. While waiting for it to appear, a man approached us with an official badge. He was the vet, and while I waited for the luggage, my husband went off with the vet.

He checked our dog’s microchip, looked at the pet passport and the letter from the vet, didn’t charge a fee, and it was all over in a couple of minutes. No issues about the separate letter, rather than the health check in the passport. It was over, and we were officially in Malta with our dog!

My recommendation for if you’re travelling to Malta with a dog? Yes, the paperwork can be a worry. But just make sure you complete all the requirements, especially the worming, and it should all go smoothly, just like it did for us.

37 thoughts on “How to Travel to Malta with a Dog”

Hello there! I’ve read your interesting article on travelling to Malta with a small dog (yorkiie in my case) it is my first trip by car on ferry to Italy and Malta from Toulon, France. It’s quite a long haul, what special advice would you give for my pets toilet etc.? I guess to starve him is an option and what about the deworming process? Wouldn’t that make him I’ll? I’m worried about the whole procedure, please advice me. Thanks!

Sheila – I would check what the facilities are on the ferry to Italy (I’m not sure how long it is). Usually on overnight ferries we’ve taken there’s either been a sand or gravel pit for dogs to do their business (thumbs up from my dog) or a deck available (that my dog refuses to use). I generally give my dog a smaller meal than usual (if I’m unsure if my dog will use the facilities on the ship), a few hours before boarding, then give him a walk on grass as close to boarding as possible. Still give water, although not too much.

Don’t be worried about the worming treatment. There is a chance of illness with all medication, but I don’t believe it’s ever made my dog ill. My dog has had it done 7 times now (visiting UK, Malta, Norway, Finland, flying to US, Australia x 2), and was only ill one time, and I think that was due to a vaccine done at the same time.

Best of luck and enjoy your time in Malta!

Hello. Beautiful puppy and great information. You mentioned that you have travelled to many destinations in Europe with the pup. Have you travelled to Greece? Any advice?

Yes, we have travelled to Greece. Check out my guide: http://www.travelnuity.com/dog-friendly-greece/ . I also have another guide for the Greek Islands.

Great article! And very useful information. Thank You!

If you’re ever back in Malta, you might find TailsFriendly.com useful. We have a list of all dog friendly spots in Malta with reviews from dog owners :)!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Shandos! What a helpful article 🙂 I am flying to Madrid (from Malta!) at the end of July to pick up my own little sausage dog! I am only in Spain for a couple of days so I too will need to rush around getting the worming treatment and health check done before returning here! I am very anxious about the flight, I hope she isn’t too nervous!

All the best with the flight! I remember driving my little Schnitzel home for the first time, and putting him on my lap in the car to chill him out. On flights, I often put my fingers inside of his bag so that he can lick them and self soothe. I’m sure your pup will do fine and give you plenty of cuddles!

Hello! what a great article! My husband’s job may transfer him to Malta. So we are planning to go by car from UK. Do you know if with the documents done in UK, how many days do we have to arrive in Malta? or we need to do it again in Italy?

I would appreciate if you can help!

The key thing is the worming treatment. As you aren’t travelling directly from the UK, you’ll need to have this done 24 hours to 5 days before arrival. You may be able to have it done in the UK before you leave, as long as your drive is quick. We only needed the health certificate for the flight.

Hi, I have read your experience for Malta, since I am going to Malta on August 16th, I want to ask you something… When I have to fill in the form online, and I have to insert the arrival date, I can’t type in the time, because appears the time when I enter to fill it in, did you have the same problem? Could you tell me how did you do it? I will arrive in Malta at half past midnight, so do I have to wait for midnight to fill it out? Thanks in advance?

You should be able to select the time and type in a different time. If you are having problems, perhaps try in a different browser. I can do it using my laptop running Safari.

Even if you can’t enter the time properly, still submit the form, as it needs to be done before you arrive, so the veterinarian meets you at the airport or port. If you are flying and have provided a flight number, they will know what time you arrived based on that information.

Hi ! Great article! I’m flying to Malta with my dog on 17 of August. I fill up the form straight after I book my flight but still no one contacted me. When I call to customer service they said my form was declined because it’s embargo for pets and they not taking any on the plane. I don’t know what to do. I phone them before I book my flight to make sure I’ll travel with my dog. I can’t find any information about embargo. What should I do?

Natalia – I’m not really sure what you should do, other than speak to the airline, or look for alternative transport arrangements. I’m really sorry this has happened to you.

This is great news as have bern told many times you cannot take a dog onboard with you. Great info Thank you Dawn

Thans Dawn!

Hey Shandos! Thanks for that great article. We‘re also planning to go to Malta with our little dachshund. There seems to be no relief area after the security check or any place you can go with your dog. We‘re a little worried that there is no place we could go to relief our dog while waiting for our plane on our way back home from Malta. How did you handle that?

Luckily my dog is fine at holding on for quite a few hours, partially dating back to his dislike of going outside when it’s raining. When flying with him, we always took him outside after checking in, but before going through security, and he had no trouble holding on until the other end. If your dog can’t manage to hold on, try using puppy pee pads, but from what I’ve heard from other travellers, most dogs (not puppies) cope better than expected and turn up their nose at going anywhere other than grass at the other end.

Hi Theresa, my husband and I travel a lot around Europe with our 2 mini dachshunds. They both can hold for several hours, and we never had an issue. However, we always carry a puppy pad with us, so if they start fidgeting where there is no place to go, we can always take them to a toilet, spread out the puppy pad on the floor, and put them there. If they really need to go – they do.

Thank you for the article!

May I ask you please about the dimensions of the carrier bag whether is is very important to have their standard size bag? Our dog is 7.6 kg and to fit in the bag 40*25*20 seems not comfortable for her( and other bags that are comfortable are at least 43*28*28 cm.

Also I am worried about the way home. Do we need to have a vet in Malta before 3 days of the flight home? We are going to be there for 7 days and then we will fly to Paris to catch the taxi to london through the tunnel. Do we need to redo the vet check and worm treatment on the way home in Malta?

Sorry for lots of questions I am so nervous as it is our first trip!

Thank you 🙌🏻

Often it’s possible to have a slightly larger bag, as long as it’s not too large. I’ve often travelled with a bag slightly larger than the maximum dimensions (depending on the airline) and have had no issues, because it is soft and can squish down.

To return to the UK, you will need to also have a worming treatment done between 5 days and 24 hours of entering the UK, whether in Malta or in Paris. With the vet check, this depends on the rules of the airline – most European airlines don’t require it, but a few do.

Best of luck, it can be nerve wracking especially on your first trip!

Thanks for the great articles. Super helpful information! We are based in the US and so far have only traveled to Paris with our dogs. We would love to venture to other countries and noticed EU in general is good option. With that said, do you have any advice on traveling to countries like Malta or Norway where they also require tapeworm treatments? I assume this is the same worming procedure you had to accommodate in Sicily?

It’s pretty simple to do the worming treatment. There’s a listing of worming treatments that are approved, most the same as ones you’d give your dog at home, but it needs to be given to your dog by a vet. Most vets need border crossing points will be familiar with the treatment and you can make a 5 minute appointment with them, for a small fee. We also had the worming treatment done in Sweden and France.

Thank you SO much, Shandos! We are going to Malta next week with our two mini dachshunds Dick & Willie, and I learned more from your article than from AirMalta website, or any official sites of the country! 🙂 We are booking an appointment with our vet for the worming, and I am filling out the online forms. We live in Germany and travelled to Portugal and Greece with our boys and there was no additional hassle – the only thing was required was EU dog passports, and the airline staff checking the dogs in (they travelled as “pets in cabin”) never once weighed them, or checked the bags. Only once did the airline official actually looked at their passports! Looks like Malta may be a bit more serious on the checking front – we will soon find out, and will report back! Thanks again for a very informative article and links!

Thanks Victoria! I found that they were up there with the UK when it comes to checking dog paperwork. Hope everything goes smoothly!

Hi 🙂 i am ready for my trip with yorkie 🙂 We have: Ue passport Chip Rubbies vaccine Deworming But what about vet inspection? Should I also provide any health confirmation from my vet?

Your airline may require a health certificate from your vet. But the vet inspection is required upon arrival in Malta – you need to fill in the form to book it.

Hi, how long did the process last, after filling in the per arrival notification? Do they then contact you with vet information who will come inspect? Is a week working days enough to fill in and get approved?

(I am traveling from EU)

I’m pretty sure I didn’t receive a reply, but there was a vet waiting when we arrived at the airport. We didn’t have to find him – he found us before we started to look around. The requirement is for three working days – a whole week will be plenty.

My dear! On my holiday to Malta I consider a whole day stay in Sicily. What do you think about deworming? It is not possible to keep the timing if I want to go to Sicilia for about 10hours only ??

It’s unfortunate this applies even if you leave Malta just for a day. It may be possible to time the trip to Sicily for the start of your trip, so that it is covered by a single worming treatment (at least 24 hours before you arrive in Malta, but within 5 days of your return from Sicily). Otherwise, it will be best to get worming done a second time in Malta (before heading to Sicily).

what about going by boat to malta? also same thing about health certificate and arrival vet check up?

Yes, the same thing applies. On the form that you fill in, select “Ferry Terminal”.

Thank you for the really useful information. I’m going on a trip to Malta with my dog on Monday. In order to meet the time to take the repellent, I went to the veterinary hospital yesterday, I submitted my pet arrival notification today. I didn’t know that I had to submit before 3 business days. Did you receive an approval letter prior to your arrival in Malta? Today is a holiday, so even if I call the related department, they don’t answer the phone. I’m nervous because I’m leaving on Monday.

I don’t think I received an approval letter, just an email with a link to go back and edit. Fingers crossed that it’s all good, I think it’ll still be okay.

Hi, I like live in Ireland and travel a lot in the EU with my chiweenie. I’ve considered Malta but have been leery bc of the stray dog reports I have read about. Have u any opinions about the state of Malta concerning strays? They can be pesky and aggressive. I do use deterrents that I keep handy.

We didn’t have any issues with strays in Malta, although we spent most of our time in Valetta. We encountered more strays in southern Italy (south of Naples and in Sicily) and Romania. I generally found stray dogs to be timid and that they backed off if you raised your voice or gestured (I think they are often treated badly by locals). We had more issues with stray cats, at least in Greece – our small dog was attacked by a stray cat (with kittens) on Santorini. I would be cautious, but I wouldn’t skip visiting Malta altogether.

Pet Travel - Moving to Malta With Your Pet

Pet travel to Malta

If you have pets and you're considering moving yourself and your family to Malta, you will also need to know about pet travel to Malta. The good news is that, although this will require some planning, your pets will be welcome in Malta! The regulations around this do depend on how common rabies is in your home country, and it may be the case that your cat, dog, or ferret will need to be vaccinated before your move.

Travelling With Your Pet

Malta's laws on importing pets and crossing borders with pets are derived from the standard set of EU regulations on these matters. As these rules can be complicated, it is best to get everything sorted out well in advance of your move. The first thing you need to do is to fill in a pet import authorisation form from the Ministry of Agriculture. You can do this online.

For your pet to travel microchipped by a vet prior to your move, and you should make sure to ask for an intradermal 15-digit microchip that conforms to ISO 11784/11785 norms. If your pet has another sort of microchip, you will need to carry the adapting scanner with you, which can be inconvenient. Tattoos are only acceptable if they were applied to the pet before July 2011, so are only relevant to older pets. They will probably also need a rabies vaccination at least three weeks before entering Malta, even if rabies is uncommon in your original country. Unless you live in Ireland, Finland, Norway, or the UK, your dog will need to undergo a tapeworm treatment 24-120 hours before arriving in Malta. If you are from an EU country, you will need a pet passport.

Bringing A Pet From A Third Country

One of the first things you will need to do when bringing a pet into Malta from a third country is to make sure it is microchipped and has been vaccinated against rabies. You then need to plan for a blood titer test, at least 30 days after the vaccination but at least 3 months before you plan to arrive in Malta. This test must be analysed by an approved laboratory. If the lab finds satisfactory results, you will get a pet health certificate which you will need to show upon entering Malta. As with bringing pets from your home country, you will need your pet to be treated against tapeworms with a Praziquantel-based product 24-120 hours prior to arriving in Malta. The vet must then confirm in your pet passport that this treatment has been carried out. Finally, if your pet is a cat or dog, they must be examined by a qualified vet when they arrive in Malta, and you will be financially responsible for any further tests or treatments that the vet deems necessary.

Transporting Other Pets to Malta

We have already covered the procedure for bringing a cat, dog, or ferret into Malta, but what about other pets? If you have a bird, invertebrate, tropical fish, reptile, amphibian, rodent, or rabbit, they will not need to be vaccinated for rabies if you are from an EU country or another approved country. That said, they do need a health certificate, which you will need to research and acquire before leaving your home country. Rabbits and rodents, in particular, may need to be quarantined for a short time after arrival.

If your pet is more exotic, such as a tortoise or parrot, you will need to learn about CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). This protects exotic animals from being exploited when they are exported or imported, and they will require you to get a special permit for pet travel. Your home country will have at least one authority, such as the UK's Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, who can advise you on this subject and help you with all aspects of moving with your pet to Malta.

Travelling with your pet

04th july 2023.

Traveling with your pet can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Health requirements for pet animals entering Malta from the EU or vice-versa:

Pets animals of the species Dogs, Cats and Ferrets are in need of the following health requirements:

- An ISO identification - 15 digit microchip. The animal must be identified before the rabies vaccination as per the passport records.

- A rabies vaccine at 12 weeks of age. The rabies vaccine become valid 21 days after administration. Therefore you will not be able to travel with your pet during those days.

- A valid EU passport (You can book an appointment at the clinic to start the process)

- 21 days have to pass from the date of the rabies vaccination

- De-worming treatment between 24 hrs to 120 hrs prior entering into Malta. Dogs moving directly between Norway, Finland, Ireland, or the United Kingdom to Malta are exempted from the treatment against the tapeworm.

-The online pre notification needs to be submitted before coming back to Malta (Link attached below)

Some important considerations and tips to make the journey safer and more comfortable for both you and your pet:

•         Plan in advance: Research and familiarize yourself with the travel requirements, regulations, and restrictions for pets at your chosen destination. This may include pet-friendly accommodations, airline policies, and any necessary documentation or vaccinations.
•         Visit the veterinarian: Schedule a visit to the veterinarian before traveling. Ensure your pet is up to date on vaccinations, has a health check-up, and is issued any required travel certificates or documentation. Discuss any specific concerns or recommendations for your pet's travel needs.
•         Crate or carrier training: Familiarize your pet with their travel crate or carrier well in advance of the trip. Make it a positive and comfortable space for them, so they feel safe and secure during travel. Gradually introduce short periods of confinement in the crate to help them adjust.
•         Travel essentials: Pack essential items for your pet, such as food, water, medications, a leash, waste bags, bedding, toys, and any necessary grooming supplies. Familiar scents and familiar items can help comfort your pet in unfamiliar surroundings.
•         Safety during transportation: If traveling by car, secure your pet in a carrier or crate or use a seatbelt harness specifically designed for pets. Avoid leaving your pet alone in a parked car, as temperatures can quickly become dangerous. For air travel, follow airline guidelines for transporting pets in the cabin or cargo area.
•         Comfort stops and exercise: Take regular breaks during road trips to allow your pet to stretch, relieve themselves, and have some exercise. Bring a leash and choose pet-friendly rest areas or parks for these breaks.
•         Travel anxiety and stress: Some pets may experience anxiety or stress during travel. Consult with your veterinarian about possible calming techniques or medications to help ease their anxiety. Familiar items, like blankets or toys, can also provide comfort.
•         Hydration and feeding: Ensure your pet has access to fresh water throughout the journey. Feed them a light meal a few hours before traveling to prevent an upset stomach, and avoid feeding them a large meal during the trip.
•         Patience and reassurance: Stay calm and provide reassurance to your pet during the journey. Your calm and confident demeanour will help them feel more secure and reduce their anxiety.

Taking Pets to Malta

Many people and their pets travel to Malta to emigrate for warmer weather and a different way of life. Malta is an island in the Mediterranean which is also free from Rabies and free from a horrible tapeworm called Echinococcus – which can also infect humans and is very prevalent across mainland Europe.

There are many direct flights from UK to Malta, but many can’t be used for pet travel as they either arrive too late for the pets to be cleared or they are operated by an airline which will not carry pets, such as Ryanair or Easyjet. It is always best to check which flights can take pets, but be warned that this can change at a moment’s notice. We generally use Air Malta or Thomson Airways, but will use others depending on availability.

As of January 1st 2021 there have been some changes to the requirement for European pet travel, read more about these here .

In terms of preparation for a cat or a dog to travel to Malta, then they need a microchip and rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel and then the pets need the appropriate documentation – which can all be done with your local vets. And also for Malta they need an import permit, which has to be applied for from the Agriculture department of Malta at least 2 weeks before travel. This give the Maltese authorities a chance to check all the documents comply with their entry requirements before they allow entry of the pets. All pets will need to be checked by a vet in the 10 days before the flight to ensure they are fit and healthy enough to undertake a journey by air, and also they will need a worming treatment to help prevent the transmission of Echinococcus – the nasty worm which can affect humans

Malta is very strict on bringing pets as commercial imports or as non-commercial imports. Commercial imports are pets who are deemed to be imported to be sold and non-commercial pets are exactly that – pets who are owned by their owners. Pets who are owned by their owners for at least 6 months before flight, over 6 months old and the owner is flying within 5 days of the pets (ideally on the same flight) are deemed non-commercial and their import to Malta is reasonably simple. If any of the above are not the case then you need to seek advice from either PetAir UK or from the Maltese authorities. As commercial imports of dogs and cats to Malta require different paperwork compared to non-commercial imports.

All in all, flying dogs and cats to Malta is a little more complex than some nations and getting all the help you can in the first instance is thoroughly recommended. At PetAir UK , we can do the final checks, apply for the import permit and advise on the best and most current flights available.

Relocating to Malta with your pet

In this article you will find out all the-need-to know details about relocating to Malta with your pet, or relocating to most European countries.

Want to Relocate Abroad with your Pet?

Relocating abroad is a process that requires a lot of careful planning. Even more so if you’re relocating together with your beloved pets. Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 regulates the non-commercial movement of pets which accompany its owner to another country. The regulations builds on the existing passport scheme for pets and introduces a new model whereby pets can travel to the EU with their owners if they have a passport containing proof of their identity and anti-rabies vaccination.

What is the timeline for non-commercial movement of the pets?

The non-commercial movement of the pet animal may take place up to 5 days before or after the movement of the owner, in which case the non-commercial movement of the pet animal is carried out under the responsibility of a natural person who has authorization in writing from the owner to carry out the non-commercial movement of the pet animal on his behalf.

The maximum number of pets (dogs, cats or ferrets) which may be moved for non-commercial purposes is up to five (5). This number can only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances such as when the movement of pets is due to participation in competitions or that the pets are more than six months old. Movement of pet animals which are younger than 15 weeks is not allowed.

What are the Health Requirements when relocating to Malta with your Pet from Non-EU Countries?

Health requirements for pets entering malta.

Prior to entering Malta your pet (a dog, a cat, or a ferret) must fulfill the following health requirements:

• Make sure that your pet has been microchipped. No countries in Europe will allow a pet enter unless it can be traced and the owners contacted in the event of an incident or emergency. The required ISO identification is a 15 digit microchip, or clearly readable tattoo. The animal must be identified before the rabies vaccination;
• A rabies vaccine at 12 weeks of age is required. In case you’re relocating from an “unlisted country” your pet might also need a blood test. The test must be carried out on a sample collected by an authorized veterinarian at least 30 days after the date of vaccination and not less than three months before the date of movement. The test must measure a level of neutralizing antibody to rabies virus in serum equal to or greater than 0,5 IU/ml, and must be performed in an approved laboratory;
• An Official Health Certificate issued by the country of departure either “listed” or “unlisted country”. You may find full lists below;
• 21 days have to pass from the date of the rabies vaccination, and 3 months after the rabies neutralizing antibody test if you are relocating from an “unlisted country”;
• If you’re travelling to Malta with your dog it must be treated against tapeworms between 24 hours (1 day) and 120 hours (5 days) before entering the country. If you fail to have your dog treated within the established time scale, it may be put into quarantine for up to 4 months. The treatment must be administered by a veterinarian and officially recorded in your pet’s passport.
• An online pre notification needs to be submitted.

When to apply for a European Pet Passport?

If you’re relocating to Malta with your pet or any other European country, you may consider applying for a European pet passport.

This document lists down all the vaccinations and treatments your pet has received and includes a description of your pet (name, age, color, breed, county of origin), as well as your name and contact information. European Pet Passports are issued by authorized veterinarians in compliance with EU regulations . The passport becomes valid 21 days after the primary rabies vaccination and remains in effect for three years, provided that rabies vaccinations are kept up-to-date.

There are many benefits of obtaining a European pet passport:

• It allows easy travels within and outside of EU;
• The passport allows to avoid quarantine;
• The document keeps all the records in one place.

Should you wish to apply for European pet passport in Malta, contact a veterinarian of your choice at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Ascension Island, Australia, Bahrain, Barbados, Belarus, Bermuda, BES Islands (Bonaire, Saint Eustatius and Saba), Bosnia-Herzegovina, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Chile, Curaçao, Falkland Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Jamaica, Japan, Jersey, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Montserrat, New Caledonia, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Russian Federation, Saint Maarten, Singapore, St Helena, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Pierre and Miquelon, St Vincent and The Grenadines, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom (GB), USA (includes American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the US virgin Islands), Vanuatu, Wallis and Futuna.

Animal Transportation to Malta

Animal relocation to malta: how is this done.

You’re setting off for the Island of Malta.

It’s just not possible to leave for this magnificent Mediterranean island without your pet.

To ensure your trip and arrival go seamlessly, you need to adhere to the regulations.

We are well aware of the global regulations for transporting live animals to Malta. By choosing  the PREMIUM package , we can take care of all, or some of these steps for you.

The minimum time period between the start of formalities to be carried out and your pet’s trip is at least six months.

Veterinary Protocol and Administrative Steps Regarding Pet Transport to Malta

To take your pet – your cat and/or your dog – along with you to Malta, you will need the following:

• To have a  European passport
• Be identifiable by  microchip
• Have all of their  vaccinations up-to-date
• Be vaccinated against  rabies  (vaccine dating more than 30 days, but less than a year prior to departure)
• To have had a  rabies antibody titration  done (30 days following the vaccine against rabies)
• To have had a  treatment against ticks  done (product: Fipronil) as well as deworming (product: Praziquantel) between 24 and 48 hours prior to departure

Other Important Information

You will need to wait for six months after the blood test before your pet may travel.

Once you have the serum titration in hand, you will be able to apply for the  import permit  from the Maltese authorities.

The import permit has just arrived, now you just need to request an “ International Certificate of Good Health ” from your vet (as a separate document to the passport), within seven days prior to departure, and have it certified and stamped by the  D epartmental  D irectorate for  P ublic  P rotection (the “ DDPP “) in your region.

Once you’ve completed the process with the DDPP, you can rest reassured that your pet will finally be ready for their trip to Malta!

For them, this will mean a Mediterranean climate, where they can casually stroll around the streets of Valletta or the Golden Bay beaches.

We are able to assist you with these procedures, so  contact us.

The Ultimate Guide to the Pet Travel Scheme | Hassle-Free Travel

Want to enjoy hassle-free travel to the U.K.? but don’t know how to handle pets during international traveling? Stop here…let me give you the ultimate guide to the Pet Travel Scheme. 

Although you love your furry friend, there are strict pets when you travel internationally, especially in the U.K. PETS stands for the Pet Travel Scheme. This scheme tells you the simple process of traveling with animals without quarantining them.

This article will cover all the important points related to pet travel schemes, countries, and information.

Let’s get started.

Everything you need to know about the Pet Travel Scheme

In 2000, the DEFRA (Department for Environment, food, and Rural Affairs) announced new guidelines related to pet traveling. This scheme replaced the outdated quarantine system with a stress-free program. According to the pet travel scheme, dogs, cats, and ferrets can travel within specific countries ( European Union members).

Furthermore, the pet travel scheme makes sure to prevent any diseases from spreading. For this reason, the pets have to pass some specific health requirements.

Here are some key requirements for your pet according to PET:

• A microchip must be placed on your pet for identification purposes.
• Proper vaccination of pets (rabies).
• Health certificate.

Countries Covered by the Pet Travel Scheme

Pet travel scheme includes mostly the European Union countries and also some of the non-European countries.

EU Countries

You will see all European Union states are on this list. Examples include:

• Balearic Islands
• Canary Islands
• Netherlands

Non-EU Countries

Some Non-European Union countries are on the list, such as 

• New Zealand

Some non-EU countries, known as “listed countries,” are also part of the scheme. These include popular destinations like the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Pets traveling to or from these countries can also avoid quarantine under the scheme.

Furthermore, you can check the updated list of countries from the UK government’s official website. You can also dial the helpline number of the ALPHA pet travel scheme for updates.

How the Pet Travel Scheme Works

Now, the most asked question is how this pet scheme works. You simply have to follow the simple following steps.

• Microchipping

According to the pet travel scheme, the pets must have ISO – ISO-compatible microchips. 

Microchipping is the insertion of a grain-like chip into your pet. This chip contains the database. Moreover, it is also important for the identification. 

Besides, this chip is easily scannable at checkpoints while traveling for a hassle-free experience.

• Rabies Vaccination :

The second important rule is the rabies vaccination of dogs. So, you must take your dog for vaccination 21 days before leaving for the EU country. 

Moreover, make sure to know the valid duration of vaccination. For example, 3 years is a valid vaccine duration for dogs.

• Pet Passport or Health Certificate : 

The third step in the pet travel scheme is needing a pet passport and animal health certificate. A pet passport is vital if you carry your pet from the EU to the UK or within the EU. On the other hand, an official vet certificate is enough if you are traveling to non-EU countries.

Moreover, according to recent reports,

“The UK government now issues AHC (animal health certificate) in place of the pet passports.”

This certificate costs £99 for the first pet. Whereas, in case of emergency, it costs up to £199.

• Tapeworm Treatment :

The fourth step in the Pet travel scheme is tapeworm treatment. The tapeworm treatment is required if you are traveling to the following countries:

• Great Britain (England, Wales, and Scotland)

             So, make sure to vaccinate your pets approximately 5 days before traveling.

• Travel Arrangements : 

Lastly, pick the right airline. Because not all airlines or travel companies are part of a pet travel scheme. So, make sure that your chosen company is approved under the scheme.

According to the reports for 2024, the following companies have been approved under the pet schemes:

• British Airways
• Thai Airways
• Kenya Airways
• American Airlines
• Qatar Airways
• Singapore Airlines
• Air New Zealand

Additionally, you can keep your pets in cabins while traveling with Lufthansa, KLM, and Air France in the UK.

Pet Travel Scheme for Dogs

Dogs are the friendliest among the other pets. Dogs usually travel with their owner due to their energetic nature and small size. 

If you are a dog owner, ensure your dog is microchipped and properly vaccinated. In addition, you must know which breeds of dogs are banned by the UK government, such as Presa Canario, Dogo Argentino, or American Pit Bull Terrier.

Pet Travel Scheme in the EU and Beyond

There is a new update for the post-Brexit (British citizens who travel briefly to the EU)

AHF passport is the new requirement for traveling with your pets to the EU.

However, if you are traveling beyond the EU, you must take additional steps. Each non-EU country has its own rules and regulations. So, make sure to consult the UK government before traveling.

Pet Travel Scheme in Ireland and Scotland

If you are planning to travel with your pets to Ireland and Scotland for vacation, Then you must know the additional requirements for the travel scheme.

However, there are specific rules for these regions:

• Ireland : Be mindful of the tapeworm treatment requirement for dogs.
• Scotland : Check local regulations, especially if you’re traveling from a non-EU country.

According to 2021 reports,

England, Scotland, and Wales will also require the AHC (Animal Health Certificate), whereas pet owners in Ireland can use the pet passport.”

APHA(Animal and Plant Health Agency) Helpline

Still confused about the pet scheme? And the time is running out.

The UK government has introduced the APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) helpline to solve pet travel-related problems.

In brief, this ALPHA helpline clears your doubts about microchipping, vaccination, and documentation. The helpline number is on the UK government’s official website.

DEFRA and the Pet Travel Scheme

UK government has implemented the rules and regulations through DEFRA (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs). DEFRA sets the rules that are included in the scheme.

They provide guidelines and updates on any changes to the scheme. Additionally, it also updates on the context of Brexit and its impact on pet travel between the UK and EU countries.

Pet Travel UK: Tips for a Smooth Journey

The safety of your little friend is very important. Don’t get lazy about that. Here are some of the best pet travel safety tips.

• Start the earlier vaccination process.
• Complete the paperwork and important treatments.
• Double-check the documents. (According to latest requirements)
• Try to go for direct flights to save your pet from exhaustion.
• Pre-checkups of the pet by a veterinarian are necessary.
• Ensure that your pet is fit and fine to travel.
• Be alert in the crowd.
• Keep the necessary belongings of the pet.
• Keep the pet food.
• Try not to use tranquilizers for pets.

Final Thoughts

In a nutshell, traveling seems boring without your little furry friends( cats, dogs, or ferrets). This article covers all the details about the pet travel scheme, how it works, and the information about countries. So get ready for hassle-free traveling in the UK with your little buddy.
