Hi Connie,

Thanks for reaching out! Moving your Yorkie from Atlanta to Germany is an exciting journey, and I'm here to guide you through the process.

No Quarantine Required: There is no quarantine for dogs traveling from the United States to Germany. However, there are other essential steps you must follow:

1. Microchipping: It must be done if your dog isn't already microchipped. It's a requirement for identification purposes.

2. Rabies Vaccination: Your dog must be up-to-date on its rabies vaccine. This ensures safety and compliance with German regulations.

3. International EU Health Certificate: You must secure this certificate from an authorized veterinarian. It verifies your pet's health for travel.

Regarding the flight itself, choosing a pet-friendly airline is crucial. We often recommend airlines like Lufthansa and KLM for pets going to Europe, and the travel crate must be airline-approved.

I hope this information helps get you started, Connie. Wishing you and your Yorkie a smooth and safe relocation to Germany!
