Andorra with a dog? Oh, this one gets me fired up. Tiny mountain country wedged in the Pyrenees, trails for days, and a pup at your side for all of it. But before you lace up, the make-or-break piece is the entry rules, because Andorra isn't in the European Union and that changes the paperwork math. Nala and I live for this kind of high-altitude adventure, so let's nail down exactly what gets your dog across the border.

Bringing a pet to Andorra requires three documents in the right order: a microchip, a rabies vaccine within the destination's wait window, and a government-endorsed health certificate. The table below lays out exactly what's required, what's not, and where each rule comes from.

Frequently asked

What if my flight is delayed past my health certificate validity?
If the certificate window expires before you board, you'll need a re-issue. Build a 1-2 day buffer between the cert date and departure to absorb minor delays.
What happens if I forget a document?
At the destination airport: at best, an extended inspection while you produce backup; at worst, the pet is held in quarantine or returned to origin at your cost. Bring printed copies.
