Within four months after birth, dogs must be microchipped for electronic identification. They should also receive a rabies vaccination. For your pet to travel to Luxembourg, you must wait 21 days following the vaccine. Please be aware that day 0 is the first day. Before receiving a rabies vaccination, the animal must have the microchip installed. If your animal companion was already immunized before the implant, the immunization is no longer valid and needs to be repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pet passport and health certificates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hold a current EU Pet Health Certificate or European Pet Passport. If you are moving from a non-EU nation, bring a health certificate. The certificate must be completed by a licensed veterinarian and verified by the state agency in charge of the animal&#8217;s import and export. Several animals cannot receive a rabies vaccination. Birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals like mice and rabbits are some of these. To enter Luxembourg, they could need a health certificate, though. Owners of these animals should inquire with the appropriate government agencies in their nation for information. These guidelines only apply to pet-friendly private rides. They are not applicable in circumstances involving a sale or change in ownership. In some circumstances, a written declaration by the owner proving that the animals are not being transported for sale may be necessary as a traveling companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Entry rules for more than five pets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Up to five pets are allowed on your trip. However, you need to show documentation that there are more than five (dogs, cats, or ferrets) of each type, including proof that they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00a0Distributing sign-up forms at an exhibition, competition, or sporting event.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A minimum of six months old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cabin transportation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only one pet may be transported by each passenger in a cage (soft bag or box); no more than one animal may travel in the same cage. Ensure that your pet is comfortable standing or sitting inside the carrier. Animals that weigh less than 8 kilograms (including the crate) and are transported in containers that are no larger than 45x23x25 cm or 45x42x20 cm are allowed in the cabin. Please be aware that the animal must travel in its carrier bag or cage the entire time. Under no circumstances let the animal out of the crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Special requirements for dangerous breeds of dog cages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for a box or crate that is composed of wire mesh, wood, metal, synthetic materials, or welded construction. For this kind of transportation, plastic components are not permitted. The apertures are allowed, but they must be constructed out of strong metal, reinforced wood, or wire mesh. It must have a reliable latching system that cannot be unintentionally opened. The animal must not be able to stick any portion of their body through the openings of the box to prevent any biting or scratching by the animal. Guide animals for passengers with disabilities are exempt from weight and size restrictions. They may travel without paying any fees and without a cage. But the proprietor must possess a legitimate doctor&#8217;s note attesting to the need for a service dog. Laws governing the pet movement may also be modified in reaction to epidemics of diseases like the avian flu and other contagious illnesses. To ensure that all aspects of pet transportation are managed efficiently, it is advisable to hire a professional pet carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prohibited dog breeds in Luxembourg<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following breeds are prohibited from entering Luxembourg under Luxembourgian law:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Staffordshire Bull Terrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mastiff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>American Staffordshire Terrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tosa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitbull.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boerbull.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dogs that are considered potentially dangerous by a veterinarian.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may also find these articles helpful<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/best-coworking-spaces-in-luxembourg-for-digital-nomads\/\">Best coworking spaces in Luxembourg for digital nomads<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/understanding-the-impact-of-unlawful-records-on-immigration-to-luxembourg\/\">Understanding the impact of unlawful records on immigration to Luxembourg<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.immigration-residency.eu\/blog\/preparing-for-the-immigration-interview-in-luxembourg\/\">Preparing for the immigration interview in Luxembourg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s great to travel to this charming nation with your animal friend.
