Main changes to the rules for the non-commercial movement of the pet animals
From 22 April 2026, updated European Union requirements apply to the non-commercial movement of pet animals. The changes concern, among other things, the number of animals travelling together, pet passports, animal health certificates, identification requirements and accompanuing documentation.
1. Maximum number of animals
A maximum of five dogs, cats and ferrets may accompany a traveller during a non-commercial movement. The same numerical limit also applies to pet birds.
2. Number of animals per means of transport
For non-commercial movements, the numerical limit applies to the means of transport. A maximum of five dogs, cats or ferrets and up to five pet birds may travel in the same means of transport.
3. Issuing EU pet passports
An EU pet passport may only be issued for an animal whose owner has their main residence in a Member State of the European Union.
4. Double passport
When a new EU pet passport is issued, previous documents proving the animal´s identification and vaccination history may need to be retained and presented when travelling.
5. New animal health certificates
From 1 October 2026, new animal health certificate models will be introduced for the non-commercial movement of pet animals.
6. New model EU pet passports
From 1 January 2028, a new model of EU pet passport will be introduced for dogs, cats and ferrets. Passports issued before that date will remain valid and do not need to be replaced.
7. Microchips with a country code
From 1 January 2028, microchips used for the identification of animals within the EU must contain a country code.
In order to travel with a dog or cat from Russia or Belarus to Estonia following requirements must be fulfilled:
1. Dogs and cats must be marked by microchip;
2. Dogs and cats must have a valid anti-rabies vaccination. The pet animal must be at least 12 weeks old at the date of vaccination. The date of vaccination took place after implantation of or reading the number of the microchip. The validity period of the vaccination starts from establishment of the protective immunity but not later than in 21 days after primary vaccination and remains valid until the date the authorised veterinarian or official veterinarian has stated in the pet passport.
NB! Bringing young dogs, cats and ferrets without valid anti-rabies vaccination into Estonia from non-EU countries is not allowed.
NB! From 16.09.2024, Russia and Belarus are considered as the countries with high rabies risk!
All dogs, cats and ferrets arriving from Russia and Belarus must have a rabies antibody titer determined in the approved laboratory before entering Estonia.
3. Antibody titre can be determined starting from 30 days after vaccination. The required titre is 0.5 units/ml or higher. The time between determination of titre and movement must be not less than 3 months. The test must be done in an authorised laboratory.
Thus, if the puppy or kitten was vaccinated against rabies at the age of 12 weeks, and antibody titration test was determined on 30th day after vaccination, the minimum age on the animal when traveling to Estonia could be 7 months (12 weeks + 30 days + 3 months).
4. The pet animal must be accompanied with a certificate. The certificate is issued or verified by an official veterinary inspector, filled with capital letters in English language and the language of the Member State of entry and remains valid for 10 day as of the date of issuance.

Thus, if the puppy or kitten was vaccinated against rabies at the age of 12 weeks, and antibody titration test was determined on 30th day after vaccination, the minimum age on the animal when traveling to Estonia could be 7 months (12 weeks + 30 days + 3 months).
4. The pet animal must be accompanied with a certificate. The certificate is issued or verified by an official veterinary inspector, filled with capital letters in English language and the language of the Member State of entry and remains valid for 10 day as of the date of issuance.
