Question
Hi,
My siser will be comming to visit me in Athnes, her dog just had puppies so she wants to bring me one.
Can you please confirm what documentation she will need and if the puppy will have to go to the quarentine?

Thank you very much
Alisa

Answer
Hi Alisa,

Thanks for your inquiry.  Your sister could take the puppy to Athens, but the puppy will need to have a rabies vaccination prior to departure and then wait at least 30 days before it can travel to Greece.  You'll also need to fulfill the other Greece import requirements, which you can find here: http://petrelocation.com/petrules-41.html

If it is under 3 months of age (which is usually when veterinarian's recommend having pets vaccinated for rabies), we do not recommend international air travel.

Cheers!
