Moving to Norway with a kitten: What vet forms and shots are needed?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would suggest working with a Vet who is USDA accredited. They can help you follow the very exact and time sensitive protocols required to transport animals from the US to other countries. If Luna hasn’t been microchipped then do that and repeat theRabies vaccine. I hope this helps!

The term health certificate can mean different things to different people and entities. The most common type of health certificate is one that can be provided by a USDA accredited veterinarian to facilitate the movement of pets internationally or between states. These health certificates typically confirm a pet’s vaccinations, deworming medications, permanent identification (e.g. microchip or tattoo) and require a recent physical exam to attest that they are apparently free of infectious diseases. Health certificates and the associated veterinary exams are a critical step in preventing the spread of infectious diseases to different areas. It is important to note that every state and country has slightly different requirements, and that not every veterinarian is accredited by the USDA. If you are planning on traveling with your pet, be sure to start planning early by looking into your destination’s requirements on the [USDA pet travel website](https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel). Other health certificates, such as those that are often provided by breeders, may simply confirm that a pet has been recently examined by a veterinarian and does not appear to have infectious diseases. These health certificates are helpful to make prospective pet owners aware of any abnormalities in their new pet, but they do not provide legal standing for travel purposes.

Good question. With the vaccines she already has, she is considered to be fully vaccinated. However, just check with the state you are taking her to make sure they don't also require the FeLV vaccine as well. The pet will also need a health certificate to travel. Here is a website link to help get you started --> https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel Best of luck traveling with your pet Tuti. I hope things go smoothly! Take care : )

You will need to make an appointment with a local vet asap to have Pumpkin seen. They can advise you on the certificates needed as well as the vaccines. Check out this link below for more information. Best of luck. https://www.petrelocation.com/country/france

Wow, exciting move! Very thoughtful of you to be thinking about what's best for Selena. In my experience, animals are quite resilient and adaptable. While I'm sure the day or two of travel will not be her favorite thing, my personal feeling is that 1-2 days of stressful travel is worth it if it means she gets to stay with the human she's attached to. Of course, you'll need to get a health certificate from your vet saying she's fit to travel - and I recommend giving your primary vet a call before that and chat with them in case they have additional input based on her specific temperament and medical history. However, my input would be that as long as your vet thinks she can handle the trip, you should take her with you. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, Petco veterinarians do not issue travel certificates. You will need to make an appointment at a veterinary clinic or hospital with a veterinarian that is USDA accredited. This vet can perform an exam and issue a travel certificate for international travel as well as microchip and vaccinate Jefe. The timing of vaccination and microchipping is critical regarding travel, so review the qualifications closely before doing anything. The rules for traveling internationally with a pet can be labyrinthine, so contacting the USDA as well as the German consulate to confirm everything is in order for your trip is strongly recommended.
