  • A valid Veterinary Certificate (stating owners details, a description of the animal, details of identification and vaccinations)
  • A valid rabies vaccine. If the rabies vaccination was the animal’s first vaccine then it must wait for 21 days before entering the country. There is no time delay with booster injections; providing there is proof that the booster was administered before the last vaccine had expired.
  • A tattoo or a microchip (compatible with standards ISO-11784).
  • Once in Italy, an Italian vet can issue an EU Pet Passport allowing travel within Europe.
  • An animal must be over three months old to enter Italian territory.
  • To introduce pet animals in Italy from third countries, it is NOT necessary to subject the animals to tick or echinococcus treatments.

Traveling from Italy to the US

  • The Italian Government requires that all cats and dogs travelling from Italy to the U.S. must have a Pet Export Certificate that can be obtained from an authorized veterinarian of the local ASL (Azienda Sanitaria Locale), who will check the validity of the vaccination against rabies.
