Thanks so much for that
Thank you so much for all the content you guys make-and for the clarity and peace of mind you give to countless people who are embarking on a big move. Viel Danke!
I can confirm that to fly a cat from the US requires approval from the USA Department of Agriculture, and it's something like $450, and you have a ten day window to fly in. I just went through all last month when I flew to pick up my cat. Bringing her in cabin was 125 Euro's booking through Air France. As a word of warning, you have to take the cat out of the carrier and walk through the metal detector with the animal in your arms. Probably not a big deal for a dog, but out indoor only cat, wasn't thrilled about this. Airport security is scary and hectic enough, having to worry about your pants falling down because you handed over your belt, all your stuff going through the xray machine and the added complication of being clawed by a small cat.
I am bringing my cat to Germany. I don’t understand how it’s $450 as I don’t see that on the USDA website..
@@annechan9233 After your pet's Accredited Veterinarian has issued the EU health certificate, you must have the health certificate endorsed by a USDA Endorsement Office.
"Non-Commercial" health certificate: The endorsement must happen within 10 days of your pet's arrival in the EU.
"Commercial" health certificate: The endorsement can happen any time within the 48 hours after the Accredited Veterinarian issues the certificate.
The USDA Endorsement Office will be able to provide specific information about the process and fees associated with the endorsement of the EU health certificate. Learn more about Endorsement Fees.
@@annechan9233 my assumption is the vet bill
I took my cat out and suggest you have a harness on them, mine didn’t scratch or try to run he was just scared and held onto me. After they informed me that I didn’t actually need to take him out of his carrier, just request a private screening room and your pet can remain in their carrier.
Awesome video! I’m sure it will help many people with this struggle.
Your pets may travel in the same plane as you with Lufthansa Cargo, despite of the name. They use Only-Cargo planes for bigger animals such as horses or cows.
Dogs and cats (even short snout’s) travel in luggage area in passengers plane. The main difference is that your pet is handled all the time by Lufthansa crew, instead of being dispatched as a luggage, for safety reasons.
Also, it’s very important to notice that they only forward shot snouts when the temperature is below 27°C. Both in origin and destination. So better avoid to move with your brachiocephalic during summer.
Thanks for sharing! This is super valuable info! 😊
Hi Pedro! How are you? So question because I am really making crazy about come with my dogs. I have 2 frenchies and my biggest problem is they both are over the weight of 20lbs, they are around 25 lbs, so I can't take them in cabin! But I didn't know about Lufthansa cargo possibility that is not as the others airlines that they be send the dogs as a luggage 🤔, so it could be possible for me take my frenchie for this way safe?
This is timely and I appreciate it. I am about to move in March with my 3 year old Golden Retriever and I probably wasn't going to do anything but assume he doesn't need anything. I'll have to get him micro-chipped and update his rabies vaccination. Y'all are the best!
So adding info here if you are moving from Canada you can only get the Animal health certificate/passport endorsed by the Canada Food Inspection Agency and has to be maximum 10 days before travel.
Happy New Year young women. Good to know.
Thank you so much. This pretty much covered everything I needed to know ❤
Thank you for sharing this information
loved this content, love for animals!
your pet needs to be at least 15 years old and wear an FFP2 mask instead of a muzzle 🙂 Thanks for the great summary.
The beauty of e.g. having a dog in Germany, the dog is allowed in most restaurants, the waiter may even bring a bowl of water on warm days and a dog is pretty much socialized into our society. It is very different from what I have experienced with my dog in the US, where she was shocked how many mean and aggressive dogs you can find on more or less official "dog playgrounds". What I experienced there in just a few weeks was was bad and never happened in Germany. Maybe I have been in a republican district, where dogs just mimicked their owners?🙂
Anyway, I am sure your experience will be great and your dog will be a very happy one to have so much more freedom and be included.
You read my mind! This video is a vision! I'm looking to move with my cat to Germany in the following year so this is instrumental help! Thank you~ Loves
Aww! dein kleiner Hund 🐶☺️!
Omggg girls thank you so much for this video! You are amazing! You saving my life again! I had been driving crazy with all these requirements but also never be sure that is all that I need, you simplify all here so now I have a really good understanding also in things that I didn't be sure. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I TRULY APPRECIATE IT! Have a blessed day!💛🙌🙏
Seconding to make certain you leave sufficient time for the pet passport stuff - a lot of the time there’s a lot of waiting for paper snail mail back and forth involved, and mistakes often happen because it’s likely it’s the first time the vet’s ever filling it out. Make sure you proofread before sending it off to reduce headaches.
thank you for sharing this information😘just subscribed your channel🤗
Thank you guys for this content! I’m traveling from Peru to Munich and I am working with a professional agency specialized in this stuff. Will let you all know how my experience was ❤
We wish you a smooth move and would love to hear your feedback 😊
Hey! thank you for the useful information that you post. I travel quite frequently on the ICE with my dog. It is true that you can´t buy a ticket online, they take only the paper tickets and you actually have to buy the one for "Hund" on the ticket machines. However, with the new DB app (Next DB Navigator, which I think it is still on the Beta version) you can buy the dog ticket there directly, but I can say that this is pretty new and not all DB personal is aware of this. I hope this is helpful. LG
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! :)
Great info..team..I would be moving to DE this April 2023..just kind of nervous :)
Hey Jen and Yvonne, really love your videos. Can you guys possibly make any video regarding that new german law's they're planning on introducing? (I mean about immigration, citizenship, and so on) Thank you!
German bureaucracy is insane, but thank you for the very informational video.
Staffordshire terriers are one of the nicest dogs and have saved people they shouldn't be banned
Very good information! Pretty much the exact same requirements our pet courier service explained to us but here's a good news, some airlines allow small breeds inside their passenger planes as long as your furry friend doesn't exceed 8kg (including the soft carrier). We'll also be moving to Germany with our little furry friend and I would say all of the facts you said are all the things we also had to secure. Also might be good to add in, Titer Test (anti-body test) usually takes around 2-4 months so plan your trip ahead.
I also wanted to ask about how to pay in customs, we're coming from a different country and from your website guide, there's like a 140 euro fee. Can we pay it via Credit Card or we need to prepare cash for it?
That is a good question. We can't fully answer it, but pretty sure that credit cards are accepted. That's usually the norm for all point of sales at airports. We hope your upcoming move will go smoothly 😊
I recently moved several pets from US to Germany and did not need a Tiger test for any of them.
*Titer test - autocorrect was not my friend
hey just an update we are already here in Germany and most of the stuff here is accurate. From the requirements down to the trains. Just to update about dogs on trains for Frankfurt, as long as your dog is on a leash, it’s fine and no need to muzzle him up.

Lucky there isn’t a maximum age! My dog was 13 when I moved here! Now she is 15….sehr alt! Aber glücklich. Und süß. And yes she has 2 microchips mainly because the first one was done so long ago it wasn’t EU compatible
They should have one
I haven't watched all your videos yet but I couldn't find a video for the districts in Dusseldorf. There are probably some differences and some may be more suitable for single people while others more for families. Can you give us more info on that or a video perhaps?
Could u pleas provide more details of other pets like rabbits
Hi if iam travelling to Turkey and transit will be in Frankfurt and iam not exiting the transit area do I need to have animal health certificate or just export certificate for Turkey,
Thank you
wxactly what i neeeded
Hi so I’m taking my cat to Italy to live with me for about a year, is the process the same for bringing a pet back to the USA?
Can they come if they have a pet passport
Thank you for the video. Really helpful.
If my pet satisfies all these requirements does it mean that once my dog is in Germany, I can take him with me every time I am visiting my home country (India) during vacation and bring him back together?
As far as we know, you would need to go through the entire process every time.
what about the post arrive information for people who moved with dogs? like dog tag request, tax, vet process
There is an awesome guide in their website, but it’s pretty simple. I did my dog’s registration online. After a week, a letter arrived with his tag and payment information.
@@pedrocintra do you pay it by yourself? or they make a money transfer via SEPA
Do you know where do they keep the quarantined dogs in Berlin?
Probably at a dog shelter. Not sure where exactly.
Just a question do we have any private transporters to move our Hund from Frankfurt to Stuttgart? Since I would b having luggage I would rather prefer my Hund a comfortable transfer from Frankfurt to Stuttgart
Some of the companies that arrange for pet transport also will do a delivery to your home. My dog flew into Frankfurt and the company took care of the customs and delivered her to my apartment in Duisburg. It was expensive but I didn’t want to leave anything to chance!!
@@laureneastwood5936 super and thanks for the info..I can always Google and find a company however u already had a first hand experience, possible for u to share the contact or details for the aforementioned transport company?
The one I used is called Pet-Express. The situation at the time was kind of complicated by the Covid issues-not all airlines were transporting animals and Pet Express took care of everything. It was so nice to not have to navigate all of that!!
Most airlines now allow pets in the cabin
They're not called snub nose and you can travel
It's called Brachycephalic not snub nose
The British shorthair doesn't have a snub nose
