Pet Passports

When travelling with your pet, you have to be careful. Each country has their own rules about Cat and Dog passports, and the owner should be familiar with those rules. Pet owners should create a passport to his cat, dog or whichever pet, wich is a collection of all info needed for entering the given country. It is of the most importance that the pet owner inform himself of what is needed in relation of his pet's passport in relation to the country that he is travelling.

Rabies Countries:

Pets can carry various diseases, however rabies can be considered one of the more serious ones. When traveling internationally, it is important that you find out the rabies classification of your country according to the country you're travelling to. The World Organization for Animal Health classifies countries as high-risk, high-risk, rabies-controlled or rabies-free. Despite the EU (European Union) has a standard classification, many countries have their own classification.
