Germany - Pets
How to arrange for the importation of your pets. Important paperwork such as quarantine documents, travel arrangements and required vaccinations for pets. Paguro tells you all! Go to the relevant 'City Guide' for local information.
More than one third of households in Germany have at least one pet. The animals range from cats and dogs to horses, rodents like guinea pigs and hamsters, ornamental birds and fish and other aquarium animals. Special permission needs to be granted to keep 'dangerous'animals such as particular breeds of dog, tigers and poisonous snakes.
Dogs seem to be far more popular than cats. Dogs are allowed everywhere, except in churches. They are allowed to travel free with their owners on public transport (unless there is more than one animal per person, then the child fare must be paid for each animal).
Author's comment: while dogs do not sit up on the seat in restaurants, they are allowed to sit on the floor or under the table. Of course this can vary from place to place, so it is better to enquire ahead of time.
