Everything You Need to Know About Pet Transport

At Aviation Needs we understand the importance of the wellbeing of your pet whilst travelling. We have put together a guide to walk you through the process of flying with your pet.

Microchipping

Your pet must be fitted with a microchip before travelling to Spain. This should be done by a professional following ISO standards and allows for identification of the pet and owner when the chip is scanned.

Flying to Spain From an EU Country

General rules are that pets must be 12 weeks old, no quarantine is required and more than five pets are allowed only for competitions.

Any pets travelling to Spain must have a pet passport. This includes:

  • Description of pet

  • Microchipping details

  • Rabies vaccination records

  • Details of a verified vet

  • Contact details for the owner

Rabies Vaccination

The only required vaccine for pets travelling to Spain is the Rabies vaccine. The first Rabies shot must be administered at least 21 days before entering Spain. If your pet has already had the vaccine and is getting a booster, they can enter Spain on the same day as the booster shot.

Travelling Back to the UK From Spain

Tapeworm treatment must be administered no less than 24 hours or no more than five days before travelling to the UK, Norway, Finland and some other EU countries.

The following breeds must wear a muzzle and be registered within three months of arrival:

  • Dogo Argentino

  • Fila Brasileiro

  • Staffordshire Bull Terrier

  • American Bull Terrier

  • Pit Bull Terrier

  • Tosa Inu
