Relocating a pet to Ireland involves a specific set of steps, and the process can feel overwhelming, especially for anyone bringing a dog to Ireland or moving to Ireland with a cat for the first time. Our team helps you understand every stage, including airport procedures, document checks, veterinary timelines, and how Ireland’s Department of Agriculture handles incoming pets. If you’re bringing pets to Ireland for a temporary stay or a permanent move, we prepare your pet for a smooth, predictable arrival.
Taking dogs to Ireland or transporting a cat requires careful planning, as Ireland has strict entry procedures and limited airports that accept pets as manifested cargo. We map out the safest, most pet-friendly routes that reduce long layovers and avoid weather risks. If you’re flying direct or connecting through Europe, we make sure your pet travels on approved airlines experienced with handling animals.
Many pet owners ask, “Can I take my dog to Ireland if they’ve never flown before?”
Yes, and we offer full guidance for first-time flyers. This includes crate acclimation training, handling nervous pets, tips for senior animals, and what to expect once your pet lands. Our relocation specialists customize plans for dogs, cats, and special-needs pets so every traveler receives personalized care.
Once your pet arrives, Irish officials will review documentation, confirm treatments, and verify microchip data. We assist with coordinating local clearance services, onward travel, and delivery to your new home. If you’re moving to Ireland with a dog for long-term relocation or bringing a cat to Ireland from the USA for a temporary stay, we make sure your pet is safely reunited with your family.
While dogs often receive the spotlight, many families ask about bringing a cat to Ireland from the USA. Cats follow similar requirements but benefit greatly from proper crate training, acclimation, and stress-reduction steps. We help make sure your cat is fully prepared for the flight and comfortable during the journey, with specialized care options available for nervous or medically sensitive pets.
Ireland accepts valid booster vaccinations as long as they follow an unbroken vaccination history. We review your records and determine whether a new vaccination is required before travel.
Only specific Irish airports are authorized to receive pets traveling as manifested cargo. We guide you to the correct arrival airport and plan a travel route that complies with Ireland’s entry rules.
Most families begin the process 8–10 weeks in advance, but starting earlier gives you a head start on preparations.
The core requirements are similar, but certain timing rules, airline restrictions, and requirements vary. We walk you through the exact steps for cats so nothing is missed during the approval process.
Yes. Older pets or those with medical conditions require extra planning, including veterinary clearance and medication timing adjustments. We create customized travel plans to minimize stress and provide safe transport for all pets traveling to Ireland.
