Transporting Pets to Switzerland - International Pet Shipping

With its majestic Alps and reputation as the center of the banking universe, Switzerland is truly one of our more beautiful destinations.

The requirements are fairly straight forward, however many of our clients have us clear customs for them to avoid any delay or confusion.

Once there, the Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental in Geneva and the Crowne Plaza in Zurich offer comfortable accommodations for owner and pet alike.

The steps for getting your pets there are as follows:

1) Microchip: Each pet needs a microchip. The rules state a ISO microchip is required, however we have not had issues with standard AVID and Home Again chips.

2) Rabies Vaccination: Each pet will need to be vaccinated against rabies. The rabies shot must be older than 30 days and less than a year.

3) Other Vaccinations: All pets must also have distemper vaccines. For dogs DHLPP will be sufficient and for cats FVRCP is recommended. Also cats must be vaccinated against Chlamydia.

4) EU Health Certificate: We will supply you with this form already filled out with your pet's information for you to give to the vet. We will need to make sure your vet is USDA accredited as this form must also be endorsed by the USDA.

5) Health Certificate - APHIS Form 7001: This is the standard Health Certificate and your vet should carry it. Usually this Health Certificate does not require endorsement.

Please send video if your pets learn to yodel.
