Poland is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe where you can live and the advantages include a lower cost of living, beautiful modern cities and warm, friendly people who will make you feel at home.

Whether you are moving to Poland for work or are returning to Poland after living in Ireland, we understand that you may need to bring your pets with you and the process is not that complex.

For transporting pets, you need to have the pet passport just like with any other country and this entails the following:

Step 1 – Your dog or cat needs a microchip.

Step 2 – They then need a rabies vaccination. They must be at least 3 months old before they have this. Some rabies vaccines in the UK last for 3 years and others will last for 3 years but need a top up after one year, so you need to know when the vaccine expires.

Step 3 – Your vet issues you with a pet passport and 21 days after the initial vaccination, your pet can travel to Europe and back again.

Step 4 – If your pet is travelling by plane, then the airlines demand that they are checked within 5 days of the flight to ensure that they are fit and healthy.

All European countries accept the pet passport and Poland is no different. Once you have the pet passport, all you will need is to contact a quality Pet Transport company to complete your move.
