Requirements for Pet Transport to Finland (Dogs and Cats)

Below are the entry requirements for bringing pets to Finland from the United States.

Bringing a Dog or Cat to Finland

Many families ask about the process of bringing pets to Finland. Finland follows European Union entry rules, which focus on proper microchip identification, vaccination timing, and the USDA-endorsed certificate. Dogs must also receive a tapeworm treatment shortly before travel. Pets that arrive with complete documentation do not go through quarantine.

We guide you through each step so your pet’s arrival is smooth and predictable.

Preparing for Pet Transport to Finland

Finland’s pet travel requirements involve precise timing. We help you coordinate microchip verification, rabies vaccination schedules, tapeworm treatment, crate selection, and USDA appointments. Families often begin planning several weeks in advance to avoid last-minute complications.
