Lisbon - Post Report Question and Answers

Are qualified veterinarians and/or good kennel services available? Do animals need to be quarantined upon entry to the country? Are there other considerations regarding pets that are particular to this country?

No quarantine. Need to be chipped. - Aug 2015


I don't think so. Not sure. This is a very pet friendly society. Pets themselves seem very well mannered. Watch where your step, because pick up after your pet is not widely practiced. - Jul 2015


No, but do check the internet for EU standards depending on the country you are coming from. Pets coming from the US have no problems with the correct paperwork and up to date vaccines. Coming from Africa - rabies and blood tests and a more detailed and highly documented process is involved. - Oct 2011


No. - Aug 2010
