Hi all,

What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Ireland?

How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Ireland?

What are the relevant authorities to contact?

Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets have to go in quarantine at their arrival in Ireland?

Which advice would you give to the ones who would like to move with a dog, a cat or any other pet?

Thanks in advance for participating

I'm moving home from the US after 20 years and bringing my dogs with me. I researched and found the following info on the Dept of Agriculture website. You have to get your pets enrolled in a Pet Passport scheme which avoids the old requirement for quarantine. See the link below. The second link is a link that also provides info on what your local vet needs to know to assist you with this process.

Best of luck.
