How to bring pets to Denmark 

If you want to bring along your pet to Denmark it is necessary that you contact your veterinarian in your country before departure in order to make sure that you meet the requirements regarding import of pets into Denmark.

Dogs, cats and ferrets from EU Member States and Andorra, the Faeroes Islands, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino and the Vatican City State may enter Denmark through any border crossing as long as the following requirements are fulfilled:

The pet animal must accompany the owner or a person responsible for the pet animal on behalf of the owner must accompany the pet during the transport in order to fulfil the requirements for non-commercial transport

The pet must have either a microchip or a tattoo so it is possible to identify the animal
The pet animal must have an EU Pet passport issued by a veterinarian which states that the animal has been vaccinated against rabies.

If you come from a country other than the ones listed above or if you wish to bring another kind of pet please have a look at the website: The Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries

At this website you will find a detailed description regarding these matters as well as specific information on how the rabies vaccination must be conducted, relevant addresses of the Boarder Inspection Posts etc.
