What this route typically costs
Critical points
The 3-month wait is counted from the blood draw date, not the result date. Miscalculating this causes the move to fail at the Spanish border.
SSFS endorsement processing times can vary. Confirm current turnaround time before booking flights.
PPP-listed breeds require civil liability insurance of at least EUR 120,000 before arriving in Spain. This cannot be arranged after landing.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.

Getting the details right
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
Get your pet used to the travel crate weeks in advance. A calm, crate-familiar animal travels far better than one meeting the crate for the first time at the airport.
