Denmark is a land of bridges, islands, coastal roads, ferries, sandy beaches and towns where a typical day often plays out by bike or by the water. It\u2019s a very pleasant country to travel with a dog \u2013 distances are reasonable, the infrastructure works well, and getting to the coast, forests or smaller towns doesn\u2019t require complicated planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a veterinary point of view, however, it matters what kind of trip you\u2019re making. Arriving in Denmark with a dog from another EU country is different from entering from outside the EU. In the first case, you\u2019re moving within the EU\u2019s harmonised rules; in the second, your dog is entering the European Union and the paperwork can be more involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denmark also has its own rules that go beyond vaccination and a passport. Before you travel, check the ban on certain dog breeds, the practical conditions of your stay and, for longer visits, registration requirements. The Faroe Islands and Greenland deserve special attention. They are part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but have their own rules for travelling with a dog and you cannot automatically apply Denmark\u2019s entry rules to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article covers a normal, non\u2011commercial trip with a dog travelling with its owner or an authorised person. If a dog travels as cargo, for sale, for a change of ownership, or in a larger group of animals, different rules may apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
