Can I bring my cat to Germany? Is the procedure the same as for dogs?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Yes, you can take cats. The requirements for microchip, rabies vaccine, and AHC are basically the same as for dogs. However, cats are not subject to dog tax and do not need to be registered with local authorities upon arrival. In addition, the same weight restrictions as for dogs (8 kg or less, including carrier) apply for carry-on baggage on airplanes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Q. What has changed with the new EU regulation of April 22, 2026?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">The biggest change is that \"when entering the EU from a third country (including Japan), an AHC (Animal Health Certificate) is now required for each trip, instead of an EU Pet Passport. In addition, the order of microchipping (prior to vaccination) has been tightened. For more information, please visit<a href=\"https:\/\/petair.jp\/en\/eu-pet-travel-regulations-have-been-updated-what-you-should-check-right-now-if-youre-traveling-to-europe-with-your-dog-or-cat\/\">Detailed article on the revision of EU travel rules<\/a>See also.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Q. Are there any regulations on prohibited breeds (fighting breeds) in Germany?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Yes, each state in Germany has different regulations for dangerous dog breeds. Pit bulls, American Staffordshire terriers, and bull terriers are regulated in many states and may be prohibited or require a special permit. We recommend that you check the regulations of the state or city where you will be posted before traveling to Germany.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Q. Can I bring my French bulldog to Germany?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">If you weigh 8 kg or less (including the carrier), you may be allowed to carry on board Lufthansa. However, boarding in the cargo compartment (AVIH) is prohibited by Lufthansa. Please check with the airline in advance, specifying the breed of the dog, to confirm whether or not a reservation is possible.<a href=\"https:\/\/petair.jp\/en\/airplane-travel-with-snub-nosed-dogs\/\">Click here for more information about shorthorns boarding airplanes.<\/a>See also.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-item\">\n<div class=\"pa-faq-q\">Q. Is there a separate procedure for returning home (from Germany to Japan)?<\/div>\n<div class=\"pa-faq-a\">Yes, a separate quarantine procedure is required to return to Japan. Antibody titer confirmation with a rabies antibody titer test (FAVN test) and a 180-day waiting period may be required.
