Exporting a dog to EU

Featured Replies

I am looking for a vet in pattaya who can help me with dog passport and the paperwork so we can take our dog to sweden.

Might be a hassle, for the Netherlands the rules are: your vet has to take a blood sample that has to be send to Europe, where an government recognized laboratory will check it on diseases. The results will be send to your local -also government recognized- veterinarian and when approved you can start applying for the travel documents.

If your canine is not a laptop model you need an airplane-approved cage eg. Varikennel, not sure if easy to find in Thailand.

Do most of it yourself and save upto 10K baht.

1. go to vet and have dog microchipped about 600 baht)
2. on same day have Rabies vax done. (about 80 baht)
3. wait one month, go back to vet and have blood drawn forom dog and have this made into a serum. (price varies. Say about 500 baht depending on where you have the drawing done)
4. On same day update dog's other vaccines required by Sweden.

(If nr2 has been done within a year and more than month after nr.1, you can go ahead with nr.3 straight away. No need to wait a month).

5. Wrap serum in bubble plastic and then in a thick envelope with a copy of the vaccination book with latest Rabies vaccine, copy of microchip card, and the papers provided by a registered lab in the EU. I always use the lab in Belgium for any EU country.
Send serum and paperwork with EMS to the lab. (about 1,000 baht)
Make sure payment is fulfilled before the serum arrives at the lab (50 - 60 euro)

6. Start crate training your dog. And do not forget to teach him/her to drink from a drinking bottle.
7. 2 to 4 weeks after blood send the Rabies serological test result should be send to you.

8. From the day the blood was drawn your dog has to stay another 3 months in Thailand till s/he is allowed to enter the EU, provided the test result is positive.

9. About 2 days before departure date take your dog to the vet with the ANNEX II document for a tapeworm treatment. This has to be written, stamped and signed by the vet. (price of a worm cure)

10. 1 or 2 days before departure date take dog to the Animal Quarantine Station for the necessary export permit and health certificate. Bring with you:
Dog in international approved travel crate
passport and copy passport
Annex II
Document serological test result and copy
vaccination book and copy (= dog passport)
microchip card and copy
flight details
Pay 50 or 100 baht.

1 to 3 hours later they should issue the export permit and health certificate.

Wishing you and your dog a safe journey. smile.png

How about the dog which come from Europe and stay in Thailand for a year then he is going back to Europe again?

He has pet passport and all the vaccine is up to date.

  • 2 weeks later...

Must have a serological Rabies test done, no matter what.
It would be less hassle for the owner if s/he has this test done while the dog is still in the EU.
Once the test is done and the result is positive, then it is valid for the rest of the dog's life, IF and only IF the owner keeps the Rabies vaccinations up-to-date.
Also, if the test is done while the dog is still in the EU, then that 3 months will be covered by the year stay here.
