Get a QuoteMany dogs and cats travel to Portugal every year as the human members of the family relocate. Portugal is part of the EU so has very similar regulations for importing and exporting pets as France or Spain.
As of January 1st 2021 there have been some changes to the requirement for European pet travel, read more about these here.
Step 1: Your dog or cat needs a microchip.
Step 2: They then need a rabies vaccination and must be at least 3 months old before they have this. Some rabies vaccines in the UK last for 3 years and others will last for 3 years but need a top up after one year, so you need to know when the vaccine expires.
Step 3: Your vet issues you with a pet passport which is now only used to track rabies vaccinations.
Step 4: If your pet is travelling by plane, then the airlines demand that they are checked within 10 days of the flight to ensure that they are fit and healthy.
