Sanitary & veterinary regulations

If you are planning to take an animal with you on your trip, make sure you have all the documents concerning their health:

• A veterinary passport
• A medical certificate. This certificate is issued at any state veterinary clinic (Form No. 4 for Moscow residents, Form No.1 for Moscow region residents). The certificate contains information on inoculations administered to the animal at certain ages. The last anti-rabies inoculation must have been administered no earlier than one year prior and no later than two months before departure.
• A certificate from Moscow breeding clubs (SKOR, RKF) stating that the animal presents no breeding value. Certificates obtained from any other clubs may result in a delay at customs.
