Slovenia’s Rules if coming from an EU country

Dogs and cats must:

• have a European pet passport
• be identified with a microchip, or tattoo
• be vaccinated against rabies with a valid vaccine at the time of travel and included in the passport.

A non-commercial movement is permitted for an animal that:

• is less than 12 weeks old and has not yet been vaccinated against rabies, or
• 12 to 16 weeks old and has been vaccinated against rabies, but the vaccination is not yet valid

The animal must be accompanied by either:

• a signed declaration, or
• are accompanied by their mother. Their mother’s EU passport clearly shows that the mother has valid vaccination against rabies prior to their birth.
