Dear PetRelocation,

Is there a quarantine period for dogs traveling from the USA to Germany?

Thanks,

Connie

Hi Connie,

Thanks for the question! The short answer is "no," there is no quarantine for dogs from the United States to Germany. Please look at the overview of pet import requirements for Germany for an idea of what to expect.

Essentially you'll need to have your dog microchipped (if not already), up-to-date on the rabies vaccine, and have an International Health Certificate. Regarding the actual flight process, we recommend choosing a pet-friendly airline (we often use Lufthansa and KLM for pets going to Europe), and the travel crate must be airline-approved.

Please get in touch with us for a quote if you'd like some help arranging your move, and feel free to peruse our blog for more pet travel tips and stories.

Hopefully this helps to get you started, Connie. Good luck with everything!
