Muscovites were reminded about the rules of traveling with a pet

Muscovites were reminded that it is worth preparing for a trip with a pet at least a month in advance, and for foreign flights — even earlier. This was announced on Thursday, May 14, according to the website of the Moscow City Hall.

Before traveling, the animal must be examined at a state veterinary clinic and have a valid rabies vaccine.

For trips around Russia, additional certificates are usually not required — a mark in the passport is enough, writes Moscow 24. But to travel abroad, owners need to clarify the rules of the destination country in advance, issue an international VET passport, chip their pet and obtain a veterinary certificate.

In addition, a rabies antibody test is now required to enter some countries, including the European Union. It must be submitted at least three months before the trip, according to the Moscow City News agency.
