Traveling abroad with your pet from Georgia: documents you need
Health certificate, microchip, rabies vaccine and titer test — how to prepare your dog or cat for international travel.
Taking a pet across borders from Georgia requires paperwork that must be prepared in a strict order — starting weeks or even months before your trip.
The usual steps are: a microchip (implanted first, so it can be linked to later records), a valid rabies vaccination given after the microchip, and an international veterinary health certificate issued shortly before departure. Many countries, especially in the EU, also require a rabies antibody titer test taken from a blood sample at least 30 days after vaccination — and then a waiting period of up to three months before entry.
Requirements differ by destination, so always check the rules of the country you're entering. Airlines have their own crate and documentation rules too.
