Europe Pet Travel Kit Guide
Every family has a travel story. With HosPet.eu, your pet is part of it. Everything your dog or cat needs to cross borders in Europe, checked on official government pages, in one guide you can print.
What's inside
- The four things your pet needs: microchip, rabies vaccine, pet passport, tapeworm treatment
- Your countdown: what to do 2 months, 21 days and 1 to 5 days before you leave
- Coming from the UK or another non-EU country
- Dog rules of Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Croatia and Ireland
- Cut-out cards to print: packing list, questions for your hotel, and your pet's travel card
Rules checked on 24 October 2026 on the European Commission and national government pages linked in the guide. Rules change: always check the official source and your vet before you travel. HosPet.eu is an independent European project, not a government or veterinary service.
