How Italien handles your pet
Key points
What happens at the border: pets arriving from outside the EU are presented at one of Italy's 57 designated points of entry (41 airports, 16 seaports), where the competent authorities carry out a documentary and identity check — "At the time of entry, you must contact the competent authorities present there, who will check your pet's documents and identity." (europa.eu)
If those checks fail: "it may be returned to the country of departure, be placed in quarantine until such time as it complies with EU health rules or if neither of these options are possible, the animal may be euthanised." (europa.eu)
Ticks and tapeworm: Italy states the negative explicitly — "A preventive treatment against ticks and echinococcus is NOT required for the introduction of pet animals in Italy." (salute.gov.it)
Breed rules: Italy's current ordinance replaced the earlier one by eliminating Annex A, the dangerous-breed list, on the reasoning that a dog's risk cannot be established from its breed
Tag -90 Mikrochip setzen · Tag -21 Frist für die Tollwutimpfung · Tag -10 Gesundheitszeugnis ausgestellt · Tag 0 Ankunft beim Zoll
Bedingte Anforderungen
Diese Regeln gelten nur für einen Teil der Reisenden — je nachdem, woher das Tier abfliegt, wo es gewesen ist oder wer mitreist. Die meisten können sie übergehen; trifft eine aber auf Sie zu, kann sie ändern, was Sie brauchen, oder zur Einreiseverweigerung führen, wenn Sie sie überspringen.
Pet arriving from, or recently in, a third country or territory NOT listed in Annex I or II to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/636 — Wenn Ihr Tier in den letzten 6 Monaten in einem von 154 Ländern mit höherem Risiko war:
