Can a puppy travel immediately after a rabies vaccination?

The vaccination alone is not enough

For a first rabies vaccination, EU countries normally treat it as valid after 21 days. The animal must be identified by microchip before vaccination or on the same day. A different rule can apply to a booster given while the previous vaccination was still valid.

Check the whole route

• The rules of the origin country, every transit country and the destination.
• The microchip number matches across every document.
• Whether an antibody test, health certificate or additional treatment is required.
• The carrier’s separate rules for brachycephalic dogs.

Puppy transfer can follow different rules

Travelling with your own pet and transferring a puppy to a new owner do not always fall under the same legal category. Do not book using a generic tourist pet checklist alone. Yuliia will agree the date, document pack and travel method after the exact route has been checked.
