Ireland Pet Import/Export Requirements

Ireland Pet Import/Export Requirements are as follows:
The importation of pets into Ireland has always been strictly controlled to ensure that diseases such as rabies are not introduced. The EU system of Passports for Pets allows cats, dogs and ferrets to travel between EU member states. This EU Pet Passport certifies that the pet has been identified by means of a microchip and vaccinated against rabies. Pets from higher risk non-EU countries will also require a blood test.
Cats, dogs, or ferrets from qualifying lower-risk countries (including the US, Canada, and Mexico) must undergo the following in this order:
Be microchipped (this must be done before anything else).
Be vaccinated for rabies subsequently.
Wait 21 days after primary vaccination before travel
Have a veterinary health certificate in the form of Annex III to Commission Implementing Decision 577/2013 to certify that it is currently immunised against rabies and dogs must be treated against tapeworm between 24 and 120 hours before arriving in Ireland. Treatment for ticks is not compulsory but it is advisable to get it at the same time as the tapeworm treatment.
Traveling to Ireland from the UK during the transition period (after Brexit): the rules on traveling to and from the United Kingdom with a pet remain the same during the transition period (the period from 1 February 2020 to 31 December 2020) as for travel between Ireland and the European Union.
Airlines may have separate and additional requirements. Check with your airline to determine what requirements they may have, if any.
