Switzerland is not only a favourite for nature enthusiasts or Bollywood fans, it’s also one of the most pet-friendly countries to immigrate or travel to. Stress-free travelling with your pet may seem like an oxymoron, but in the case of Switzerland, it’s not. Switzerland was made for pet-friendly travel, especially if you love to hike. 

Swiss culture makes it easy to cohesively incorporate your pet into your travels. They value the relationship between a family and its pet, making your Swiss holiday a memorable experience.  Even the inter-city public transportation is a great way to travel with your pet, provided they are in carriers or are secured by leash. 

• The first step to prepare your pet to enter Switzerland is to have them microchipped.
• Your pet must be microchipped, then vaccinated for rabies. Waiting a minimum of 30 days after the vaccination, a rabies titer test must be administered.
• An import permit is required and must be filed at least 3 weeks ahead of travel.
• Pets moving within Europe can use European Pet Passports, which serves as the certificate of health and can only be issued by a licensed vet.
• There will be no quarantine imposed on your pet when entering Switzerland.
