Pets

EU citizens travelling to Croatia with their pets need to fulfil a few basic pre-conditions.

Your pets need to be microchipped, or have a clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 June 2011, they need to have been vaccinated against rabies, treated against the Echinococcus multilocularis tapeworm (in case of dogs), and they need to have a valid European pet passport when travelling from one EU Member State to another. The European pet passport is a standardised and mandatory document, containing information such as the description of the animal, microchip or tattooing number, as well as data on all received vaccinations against rabies, and contact data for the owner or the issuing veterinarian. The passport is issued by authorised veterinary offices, and it can be issued for dogs, cats and ferrets. It remains valid as long as you regularly vaccinate your pet against rabies.

Third-country nationals can enter Croatia with their pets if they have obtained an EU animal health certificate. Unlike the passport, this certificate, which also contains your pet’s name, basic information and history of vaccination against rabies, must be validated by an authorised veterinarian in the home country no more than ten days before entering Croatia.
