Bringing Your Pet To Berlin
To bring your cat, dog or ferret with you, it must have an implanted microchip for identification and be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days prior to arrival and no more than 12 months before arrival.
Your veterinarian will also have to fill out a health certificate – EU Form 998 – in English or German that includes the date of the vaccination as well as the number of the chip implanted in your pet. Depending on which country you’re coming from, you may also need a stamp from the local agricultural department, so check with the local German embassy.
You cannot import the following dogs:
• Pitbulls
• American staffordshire terriers
• Bull terriers
• Tosa inus
Most other common house pets are allowed, but the requirements vary by animal, so check with the local German consulate months before you leave to ensure you have all the right paperwork.
