The rabies vaccination must be at least 21 days old and valid for one year at the time of entry into Finland. This vaccine must either be administered at the same time as your pet's 15-digit ISO-compliant microchip or after the microchip is implanted, depending on your country of origin.

Ensure your pet was microchipped after their most recent rabies vaccine. If not, they must receive another rabies vaccination to meet Finland's entry requirements.

While general vaccinations are not mandatory for pets traveling to Finland, they are highly recommended for the safety and well-being of your pet during travel.

For Dogs:

• DHPP+L: Protects against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, and Leptospirosis.
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Should be given within the last 6 months.

For Cats:

• FVRCP: Protects against Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia.

These optional vaccines help protect your pet from common diseases, ensuring a safer travel experience.

A Government Accredited Veterinarian must collect a blood sample at least 30 days after the most recent rabies vaccination and send it to an approved laboratory for testing.

Note: It may take 4-6 weeks to receive the rabies titer test results from the laboratory.

The tapeworm treatment must be administered no less than 24 hours and no more than 120 hours (within 1-5 days) before your dog enters Finland if traveling from a low-risk rabies country, or no less than 24 hours and no more than 48 hours (1-2 days) before entry if coming from a high-risk rabies country.

A Government Accredited Veterinarian must administer the tapeworm treatment and record it on the Finnish EU Health Certificate.
