Austria is a country many people visit with their dogs \u2014 for the Alps, lakes, cities like Vienna and Salzburg, or as part of a longer trip across Central Europe. As an EU member state, entry is simpler when you\u2019re coming from another EU country than when you\u2019re arriving from outside the EU.<\/p>\n\n

For a typical non-commercial trip with a dog to Austria, the essentials are a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, and the right travel document. If the dog is arriving from the EU, an EU Pet Passport usually suffices. For entry from non-EU countries, expect to need a veterinary health certificate and, for some countries, a rabies antibody titer test. On a non-commercial trip, one person may travel with no more than five pets.<\/p>\n\n

Pay even closer attention to your return journey, because your destination country may have significantly stricter rules than Austria itself.<\/p>\n\n

Official information on traveling with pet animals within the EU is published by the Sozialministerium<\/a>. Practical details on entry from non-EU countries and designated points of entry are available from the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Verbrauchergesundheit (BAVG)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

This article covers a standard non-commercial trip where the dog travels with its owner or an authorized person. If a dog is transported as cargo, for sale, with a change of owner, or in larger numbers, different rules may apply.<\/p>\n\n
