EU-Heimtierausweis Ausstellung

To travel with your pet within the European Union you need an EU pet passport.

If you want to travel within the EU with your pet, such as a dog, cat or ferret, you will need the EU pet passport as a travel document for your animal.

It contains, among other things, the following information:

• Owner of the animal
• Description of the animal
• Identification of the animal (type and date of identification and identification number)
• Rabies vaccination (validity)
• Confirmation of a sufficient test result for the titration of rabies antibodies as proof of the effectiveness of the rabies vaccination if travel to non-listed third countries is intended.
• further vaccinations or treatments, for example against echinococci

Even if you do not plan to travel with your pet, you can have a pet passport issued, as all vaccinations can be recorded there and a separate vaccination certificate is no longer necessary.

Pet passport according to Commission Regulation (EU) No. 577/2013 with the necessary entries (vaccination, titer test).

The pet must have an effective vaccination against rabies. In addition, certain laboratory tests for antibodies are carried out if the animal disease situation in the third country is uncertain.

Animals for which a pet passport is to be issued must be identified with a microchip.

The authorized veterinarian shall invoice the costs for issuing a pet ID card in accordance with the fee schedule for veterinarians (GOT).

• The Hamburg veterinarians are authorized by the responsible authority.
• The authorized veterinarian records the animal data, owner data, transponder injection data and fills out the pet passport by hand.
• The veterinarian gives the pet passport to the pet owner.
