The Balkans bring together countries with different rules: some are in the EU, others are not. We carry out the veterinary procedures and prepare the travel documents ourselves, in one place.
Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania — each of these countries sets its own requirements for bringing in animals, although many of them follow European approaches. Neighbouring Croatia, Slovenia, Greece and Bulgaria are EU members and apply EU rules.
It is worth checking the requirements of transit countries before you travel. This is general information. We carry out the procedures and prepare the documents in one place — so that you can leave at short notice.
Requirements depend on the destination country, the type of animal and the travel date. Please check transport conditions with your airline or transport company.
As a rule, we first confirm the destination country, the travel date, the species of animal and which documents it already has.
All countries in the region usually require a microchip and a valid rabies vaccination given after microchipping.
Some countries may require a titre test. We will determine this as soon as you contact us and, if necessary, take the blood sample ourselves.
Before departure, a veterinary certificate for the first country of entry is usually needed — we issue it ourselves.
Before handover, we cross-check the microchip and vaccination records against the certificate and give you the complete set of documents.
Leave your details — a specialist will get in touch, give you the price and timeline, and then take care of the documents for you.
