Response to your request in detail
Bringing a dog to Cyprus requires some preparation and documentation. First, the dog must be microchipped, and then vaccinated against rabies. This must be done at least 21 days before travel, and a licensed veterinarian must issue a health certificate stating the dog is fit to travel. In addition, owners must obtain a pet passport, which is a document that verifies the dog’s identity and vaccination history.
According to Petswelcome.com, “Cyprus is one of several countries that will accept a titer test in lieu of a quarantine to prove that the dog has a sufficient level of rabies protection.” Additionally, some breeds are categorized as dangerous in Cyprus, so the owner should make sure their breed is not on this list.
It’s also important to note that airlines have their own rules and regulations for transporting pets, so owners should check with their airline before booking a flight. The website PetTravel.com offers a comprehensive list of airlines and their pet policies, including costs and weight restrictions.
