Russia pet import requirements
Every country sets its own entry rules for dogs and cats — typically an ISO 11784/11785 microchip, an in-date rabies vaccination and an official veterinary health certificate issued shortly before departure; some destinations add an import permit, parasite treatments or a rabies antibody test. Rules change, so our relocation team verifies the current Russia requirements for your exact route and prepares every document as part of the service.
