What are the rules and regulation for taking my pet ( dog / cat ) to Luxembourg?
EU rules state that a dog should have a microchip implanted, be vaccinated against rabies (this is valid for 12 months!) and needs a certificate of good health, in order to import it into the EU (though -from our discussion with the Luxembourg Customs authorities, and because of the absence of any frontier controls- it appears that there is no control on these regulations). It is worth pointing out that you will need to visit a vet in Luxembourg, shortly before your departure, in order to be able to re-import your dog into the UK. More information is available at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/quarantine/index.htm. Alternatively, telephone (UK): 0870 241 1710 . [open 08:30 to 17:00 Monday to Friday] A list of vets in Luxembourg can be found on www.amvl.lu (Association of Luxembourg Vets). To save you the search, here’s the listing of Luxembourg vets which the association features on their site.
