Frequently asked questions

Can my puppy or kitten travel to Prague?

Unvaccinated puppies or kittens can travel to Prague only if they are microchipped and are accompanied by a declaration from the owner that the pet has not been exposed to any wild animals that carry rabies. 

However, most airlines do not fly puppies and kittens under 12 weeks of age. It is in your pet’s best interest to travel after they receive all vaccinations. 

Does my pet need rabies vaccination to fly to the Czech Republic?

Pet dogs and cats travelling to Prague from Australia require a rabies vaccination at least 21 days before the date of travel. Remember to implant the microchip before administering the rabies vaccine. Your pet can skip the mandatory 21-day wait period if the previous vaccination was administered after the microchip was implanted and the booster vaccination was administered when the previous vaccination was still valid.
