Bringing pet rabbit to Portugal

New Topic Newest First

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to bring my pet rabbit with me to Portugal next month from the US. I have found airlines that will allow me to travel with her as a carry-on, but I'm having trouble finding resources regarding entry requirements.

Has anyone brought their pet with them? Do you know whom/what office I should talk to in Lisbon about documentation?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm in the same position...trying to bring a pet rabbit into Portugal, but I'm not finding any information as to whether it's even possible. Both he and my cat are rescues, and they are bonded. I can't move unless I can bring both animals. If you don't mind me asking which airlines did you find that were willing to let your rabbit fly in the cabin? I'm looking at flying TAP from Miami direct to Lisbon. If I find any info I will let you know... Best of luck :-)

This is done through the dept. of agriculture of Portugal. Basically, you need a veterinarian health certificate from your place of origin. There is not a rabies requirement for rabbits, apparently just for dogs, cats and ferrets. Then, you need to contact the travel point of entry at least 48 hours in advance. These points of entry and the proper form to submit are provided on this website.
