Answer 1

Translat............excellent answer, was going to add to it, but you have covered everything...    but it has been many years since I brought my dog over, he has now long sinced passed,

I flew my dog over via Gatwick, it was the only airport then which handled animals at the time............this was in 1982.

Had him a crate made, he was also sedated, he was less than a year old, he would have gone nuts in his box, this is advisable, check with your vet.

Answer 2

Hi, they will both need to have all their upto date jabs and a record of them, plus within 1 month of travelling they need to have rabies jabs, then within 24 hours of travelling they need a Ministry of Agriculture certificate, which your vet will arrange. It may be worthwhile thinking of getting pet passports for them, but this tales about 6 months. Please be aware that here in Spain there is a problem for dogs with a certain type of mosquito, which bites dogs at dusk, it gives them an illness called leshmanosis, which is incurable. You can get special collars from the vets here, which I would strongly recommend as well as keeping them inside during dusk time in the Summer. Good luck in your new life.
