Going on vacation with a dog to another city or country, the owner needs to prepare a whole set of documents for the tailed passenger. Such rules for the transportation of animals are common in all countries of the world and are controlled by competent authorities concerned about the risks of infection of local animals with various infections that can be transmitted from sick visiting dogs.
In the article, we will consider what it is necessary to provide for traveling with a dog, what veterinary, customs documents and vaccinations are required when traveling with a dog around the country, Europe and the world.
Documents :
The set of necessary documents for a trip with a dog is determined taking into account the requirements of the country chosen for the trip.
Across Russia
Russians can travel with a dog to different cities of the Russian Federation with a minimum set of documentation.
What you need to take on the road:
veterinary passport with vaccination marks;
a document confirming the right to an animal (it may not be necessary, but it is better to take it with you just in case).
If the dog will take part in competitions or exhibitions in another city, a veterinary certificate in form #1 will also be required. All vaccinations given to the pet according to the schedule must be specified in this document.
According to the Customs Union
When planning a trip to the countries of the Customs Union with a dog, it is necessary to prepare a veterinary passport, a certificate of the Customs Union in the F1 form and a document confirming the right to a dog.
To Europe
Certain requirements for the transportation of animals may apply in different European countries, which is important to study in advance. You can find out this information at the consulate of the country chosen for the trip.
Mandatory documents for trips to Europe with a dog:

Some countries also request rabies antibody test results. You can find out exactly what requirements for transporting animals apply in a particular country at the consulate.
Veterinary passport for a dog of an international model
A veterinary passport is a mandatory document for anyone traveling with a dog outside their hometown. A similar document, only the international model, is issued for a dog if you plan to travel to distant countries outside the Russian Federation. The main difference between the international veterinary passport is that all information about the dog and its health is duplicated in English.
What information is indicated in the international veterinary passport:
1. The dog’s nickname, sex, breed, date of birth and coat color.
2. Information about animal chipping.
3. Vaccination, parasite and anthelmintic treatment notes with the date and stamp of the veterinary clinic.
Necessary vaccinations
Each country has its own rules regarding mandatory vaccination of animals crossing the border from other countries. But there are some vaccinations that are mandatory for all dogs.
What vaccinations must be done:
1. For rabies – no later than 21 days before departure.
2. Against viral hepatitis.
3. From leptospirosis.
4. Against canine distemper.
5. This is parvovirosis.
Deworming
Before the planned trip, it is also necessary to deworm the dog and treat the fur for ticks and fleas. These procedures must be carried out in a veterinary clinic so that the doctor puts the appropriate mark in the animal’s passport.
A document confirming the right to a dog
As a document confirming the right to a dog, it is possible to use a contract of purchase and sale of an animal, a copy of the pedigree, a veterinary passport, a power of attorney from the true owner, or a contract of joint ownership, if the dog is owned by two or more people. The main thing is that the data of the person with whom the dog is traveling should be entered in this document. It is not always required during inspections, but it is better to take it on the road just in case.
Veterinary certificate form No. 1
