Planning pet transport to Spain can feel overwhelming without the right guidance. We help families move dogs and cats to Spain safely and predictably. With more than 25 years of international pet travel experience, we support relocations through major Spanish airports, including Madrid Barajas (MAD), Barcelona El Prat (BCN), Málaga (AGP), Valencia (VLC), and other approved entry points.
When you choose Pet Transport Pro for your pet’s relocation, you can expect steady communication, careful handling, and an experienced team that manages each step with attention and care. We move pets from the United States to Spain and from Spain to destinations across Europe.
Rabies vaccination is the primary health requirement when entering Spain. On arrival, airport officials will check your pet’s microchip, vaccination records, and USDA-endorsed health certificate. Once cleared, pets are released to the receiving party. Healthy pets with correct documents do not go through quarantine.
Most pets travel to Spain via approved air cargo routes. We handle booking, routing, and airport coordination in the United States. Airlines require pets to travel in crates that meet IATA specifications. We help you select the correct crate size and prepare your pet for the journey so travel is predictable and safe.
Spain is one of our most requested destinations. We support moves between the United States and Spain, as well as onward travel within Europe. Our team has decades of experience working with airport animal centers, ground partners, and customs teams in Spain. These relationships help us streamline check-in, documentation review, and arrival procedures.
Clients relocating to Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, and other regions rely on us for dependable routing, document preparation, and flight coordination.
Upon arrival, the airport veterinary team reviews your pet’s paperwork. Once documents are approved, your pet can continue to your home or your next destination. We stay in contact with our local partners and keep you updated on your pet’s progress.
All United States services are handled by our staff. We do not use third-party handlers in the United States. This ensures consistent care and communication from the start of your pet’s journey until departure.
Our in-house process gives your pet steady support and dependable supervision. Families often share positive feedback about the care and attention their pets received during their move.
After arrival, many families visit a local veterinarian to obtain an EU Pet Passport. This makes future travel within the European Union easier. Spain is a pet-friendly country with strong veterinary care, dedicated dog parks, and accessible pet services.

Costs vary based on your pet’s size, the destination, and the travel support required. We create custom travel plans tailored to your pet instead of using a single fixed option. Contact us for a quote based on your route and your pet’s details.
If you need to move a pet to or from Spain, we can help. Below is a sample of the services available for relocation from the United States to Spain and additional global destinations. Every plan is adjusted to your pet’s needs.
You need an ISO microchip, a rabies vaccination that follows Spain’s entry timeline, a health certificate issued within 10 days of travel, and USDA endorsement. We help you prepare each document to avoid delays.
Planning at least one to two months before departure gives time to meet rabies rules, plan USDA appointments, and choose the correct crate. We organize each step once your travel date is confirmed.
Pets traveling from the United States do not need a rabies titer test. A current rabies vaccination and microchip that meet entry rules are all that is required.
Cabin approval depends on the airline, your pet’s size, and available routes. Most pets travel in climate-controlled cargo areas. We help you confirm the correct travel method based on airline policies.
We regularly manage arrivals into Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, and Valencia. These airports have established veterinary inspection points that review your pet’s documents on arrival.
