Pet Carriers To and From Italy
Find out about the professionals who can ensure your pet is fit and ready to make the journey to Italy...
It is essential to ensure that the pet is eligible to travel not only to or from Italy also any other countries it may pass through.
The animal will have to travel in an approved container. It must be big enough for the animal to stand, sit and turn around in during the journey. The container must allow adequate ventilation.
If the journey is longer than a few hours, food and drink may need to be supplied.
Several train companies, sea ferries and airlines carry caged animals across borders (normally a pet travelling by air will be in the hold). Consult the carrier for details.
