Greenland is an island nation located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and is the world’s largest island. Green mountains with beautiful wildflowers, breath-taking fjords, precipitous cliffs, hot springs, crystal clear skies, and clean air are all waiting to be discovered in Greenland. Animals flourish in the sea and on land. Icebergs and glaciers are the most famous features of the environment and its most impressive attractions for tourists.

Greenland is a great place to visit with your pet. The most famous dogs found in Greenland are the sled dogs or huskies. While relocating with your pet, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO compliant pet microchip.
• All pets must have proof of the current rabies vaccination.
• A rabies titer test must be administered after waiting for a minimum of 30 days after administering the rabies vaccination. All samples must be processed at an approved laboratory. If test results are within acceptable limits, your pet can enter Greenland 3 calendar months after the date of blood sampling.
• A licensed veterinarian in the originating country must complete the Health certificate prior to travel.
• An import permit from Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting and Agriculture is required when entering Greenland.
• A ticks and tapeworm treatment should be administered shortly prior to travel.
• All pets must enter Greenland via Nuuk International airport.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry.
• Greenland does not publish a list of banned breeds.
