DEFRA Approved With 100% Safe Pet Transport, Relocation Service & Pet Taxi in Switzerland!

Relocating your dog or cat to Switzerland involves several key steps to ensure a seamless journey. The key requirements include:

• Your pet should be microchipped with an ISO-compliant device implanted before it receives the rabies vaccination.

• Your pet should be vaccinated against rabies for at least 21 days before travelling to Switzerland. The vaccination certificate should be original, up-to-date, and signed by a veterinarian.

• Pets travelling from EU countries require a valid EU pet passport with proof of microchipping and vaccinations endorsed by the relevant government department. On the other hand, pets coming from non-EU countries into Switzerland should obtain an EU health certificate from an accredited veterinarian.

• Ensure you follow the specific transportation rules for pets, including crate requirements and airline regulations.

No, Switzerland does not require quarantine for pets entering the country as long as they meet the necessary health and vaccination requirements. This includes having a valid EU pet passport or health certificate, ISO-compliant microchipping, and a rabies vaccination certificate.

While Switzerland is not a part of the EU, it has adopted many EU regulations, including pet relocation in Switzerland. Pets entering EU and non-EU countries should meet similar requirements, such as having an EU pet passport or health certificate.

Yes, canines are allowed on public transport in Switzerland, but there are some restrictions, including:

• While small dogs with a wither height of 30 cm can travel for free when carried in a basket or container, larger breeds of dogs need a ticket.

• Your dog must sit under your seat so that other passengers can pass.

• Dogs are not allowed in dining cars or areas with food service, except for guide and assistance dogs.

• Keep your dog on a leash while travelling in vehicles or at bus stops.

• You should make sure your dog has all the required travel documents.

The cost of transporting a cat or dog to Switzerland depends on several factors, including the pet’s size, weight, breed, and the airline or transport service. Additionally, factors such as required vaccinations, microchipping, import permits, and quarantine regulations may affect the overall cost. Extra services such as custom IATA-approved travel crates, veterinary health certificates, and assistance with customs clearance can also influence the total cost.

No, Switzerland does not allow the import of dogs with docked tails or cropped ears. However, if you live in another country, you can bring your cropped or docked dog to Switzerland for a vacation or a short visit. If you are moving to Switzerland from abroad, you can bring your dog with you as long as you have owned it for at least six months before relocating. Once in Switzerland, you cannot sell, give away, or display the dog at any show or event. For more information, get in touch with our expert dog transport service providers.
