Voyager avec son chien du Pérou vers l’UE
Bringing a dog into the European Union from a non-listed country (Brazil, Colombia, Peru…) takes longer: microchip, rabies vaccination, then a rabies antibody blood test (RNATT) and a mandatory 3-month wait before an EU animal health certificate can be issued. No quarantine if done correctly.
From a NON-LISTED country the extra step is decisive: after the rabies vaccination, a blood sample for the rabies antibody titration (RNATT) must be taken at least 30 days later, sent to an EU-approved lab, and show ≥ 0.5 IU/ml. You then cannot enter the EU until at least 90 days (3 months) after that blood sample date. Skip or mistime it and your dog is refused at the border. Plan around 4–5 months total.

Les 7 étapes, dans l'ordre
1. Implant an ISO-compliant microchip
Have an ISO 11784/11785 microchip implanted before the rabies vaccination.
2. Rabies vaccination (before the blood test)
Vaccinate the dog against rabies after the microchip. From a non-listed country this vaccination is what the later blood test measures — it must be done and kept valid.
3. Rabies antibody titration test (RNATT) + 3-month wait
At least 30 days after the rabies vaccination, an official vet draws a blood sample and sends it to an EU-approved laboratory. The result must be ≥ 0.5 IU/ml. You may only enter the EU 3 months (90 days) after the blood-sample date.
4. EU animal health certificate
Once the 3-month wait is satisfied, obtain an EU animal health certificate from an official vet. It must be issued within 10 days before entry and records the microchip, vaccination and the RNATT result.
5. Tapeworm treatment (Ireland, Finland, Malta only)
If your point of entry is Ireland, Finland or Malta, a tapeworm treatment must be given by a vet 24–120 hours before arrival and recorded. Not required for other EU entry points.
6. Book transport (air or car)
Arrange your pet's journey in advance. This date is a comfortable recommendation, not a hard deadline.
7. Travel into the EU
Enter through a traveller's point of entry with the health certificate and lab report. No quarantine for compliant pets.
