Rules for Bringing Pets into Switzerland

Travelling to Switzerland with a pet

Since 1 August 2023, Switzerland has ended the simplified rules for bringing dogs, cats and ferrets from Ukraine. Since then the standard requirements have applied, as for other countries with a higher risk of rabies.

The main requirements for the animal are a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and a rabies antibody titration test with a result of at least 0.5 IU/ml from an approved laboratory. The blood sample is taken at least 30 days after vaccination, and the animal may enter no earlier than three months after the sample was taken. A veterinary certificate is also required, and in some cases an import permit.

The rules may change, so before travelling with a pet, check the current list of documents on the website of the Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO).
