You have decided to take your pet with you on your next vacation. Be careful, however, to anticipate your medical and administrative procedures. Indeed, if you plan to travel abroad, some steps can take several weeks, it all depends on the country you want to visit. If you are flying, be aware that each company has its own rules. Thus, cats or dogs weighing less than 6 kilograms can travel in the cabin, as can assistance dogs. The others will go in the hold, with the exception of certain breeds of dogs (first and second category), deemed too dangerous, simply forbidden to fly.
European legislation is generalized for cats, dogs and ferrets. To travel within the European Union, they must therefore be up to date with vaccines (against rabies in particular), identified (using a tattoo or a chip) and have their European passport. This pass will also be valid in other countries on the continent such as the Vatican, Switzerland or even in Iceland or Monaco.
First of all, equip yourself with a suitable crate:whether you are traveling by car, train or plane, the animal will be safe and will not bother you if you are driving, for example. The best thing is to get your companion used to his cage, letting him explore it and deposit his scent there. If the latter has never even taken the car, he may have a bad experience, so it is better to get him used to sharing a few trips with you as soon as possible. Finally, before a long trip, get treatment for motion sickness. You're ready to go!
