Austria pet import/export requirements are as follows:
For dogs, cats and ferrets different rules for entry apply depending from the country of provenance.
The entry of dogs, cats and ferrets is possible from all third countries, if the following conditions are complied with:
Each animal has to be identified.
Each animal has to be vaccinated against rabies and the vaccination must be valid.
For each animal an animal health certificate containing a confirmation of a serological test for rabies antibodies and a declaration in accordance with article 25 (3) of Regulation (EU) No 576/2013 have to be presented. This declaration has to be issued in German and English and filled in in BLOCK LETTERS. If these conditions are complied with, a dog, cat or ferret is at least 7 months old.
Each animal has to be identified; animals may only be identified by microchip. Tattoos applied before July 3, 2011 remain valid as long as they are clearly readable. Identification has to take place before anti-rabies vaccination.
Re-entry of dogs, cats and ferrets originating in Austria or another EU-Member state is possible from all third countries if for each animal a pet pass accompanies the animal in which a valid vaccination against rabies and in addition a serological test for rabies antibodies has been entered.
