If you are bringing pets to Spain, you will need to have an International Vaccination Health Certificate or Pet Passport showing they can be imported into Spain without a quarantine. This will show they are inoculated and free from the diseases listed by Spanish Authorities. The health certificate must be issued no more than 15 days prior to bringing your pet into the country.

The International Health Certificate must state:

• that your pet shows no signs of disease and has been examined before leaving the country;
• the indentification and origin of your pet;
• that your pet has been vaccinated against rabies.

Most airlines will carry animals that have had a rabies vaccination within the last 30 days, been examined and declared by a vet to be free of contagious disease and in a suitable condition to fly. Animals must be accompanied by either owners or a representative and must have written certification that the cat or dog has been under the owners' supervision for at least 3 months before entering Spain.

If you are entering from Spain under the Pet Travel Scheme you will need an Export Certificate issued by the MAFF and a Good Health Certificate issued by within 5 days of departure by a vet.
