Frequently asked questions

What is non-commercial transport to Norway?

Pet dogs and cats usually travel as non-commercial transport to Norway and other European countries. Your pet must meet the following criteria for the transport to be classified as non-commercial:

Pet owners or an authorised person must accompany the pet during the journey. If the pet is travelling unaccompanied, pet owners must travel to the destination EU member country five days earlier or five days later than the pet transport. When the pet dog or cat reaches the destination country, they are not intended for sale or transfer to another owner. The number of pets must not exceed five during a single movement. The number of pets travelling can be more than five only if the travel is to participate in a show, competition or sporting event. The pet parent has to submit written evidence to prove the same.

What vaccinations does my pet need to travel to Norway?

All pet cats and dogs travelling to Norway from Australia must be vaccinated against rabies with an inactive vaccine at least 21 days before the date of travel. The rabies vaccination has to be given after the microchip is implanted. A rabies vaccination certificate signed by the vet who administered the vaccine is required as proof of immunisation.

Local Pet Requirements

Pets in Oslo must be registered with the local municipal council and have a valid microchip. All dogs must be vaccinated against rabies, and the vaccination must always be current and valid. Pet parents are expected to care for their pets and ensure they receive proper veterinary care whenever required. 

Dogs must always be on a lead in Oslo, except in designated off-lead dog areas. During certain times of the year, dogs are not allowed off-lead to protect wildlife and domestic animals during their breeding seasons. 

Dogs are well-loved in the city. Ensure your pet is well-behaved in public spaces and is not aggressive towards other dogs and people.
