What is an international veterinary passport for a dog and how to fill it out

Why does a dog need a veterinary passport?

A dog must have a veterinary passport, regardless of whether it is purebred or not, participates in exhibitions or is only a companion. This document is required in the following cases:

when exporting an animal abroad;
when transporting a dog on public transport;
if you are planning a long trip with your pet across Russia;
when visiting and participating in exhibitions, sports competitions and other public events;
to participate in breeding;
when registering a hunting license, if the dog is planned to participate in the hunt;
in case of loss, theft, or killing of an animal, the veterinary passport serves as one of the proofs that the animal belongs to the rightful owner;
The document allows you to track the timing of vaccination, deworming, and treatment against ectoparasites.

Of course, when traveling to the dacha by personal transport, it is unlikely that traffic police officers will ask you to show documents for your pet, but transporting an animal on an airplane or long-distance train, without accompanying documents, which are issued on the basis of a veterinary passport, is impossible. The only exceptions are guide dogs.

When transporting an animal abroad, customs will not study the entire document; usually customs officers only look at a photo of the dog and vaccination marks against rabies and leptospirosis.

Passport of vaccinations for dogs (veterinary document)

In addition to receiving a puppy card at birth, your puppy is also given a second very important document, which contains all the dogs' vaccinations and a passport. The number of the pet's mark, which can also be seen on its body, is also separately indicated here.

As for the appearance of this sample, it is quite usually designed in the form of a book, which has from ten to twelve pages. Thus, the basic sample provides for recording the date of vaccination and the name of the vaccine. Only the veterinarian who performs the examination and direct vaccination can fill out the dog’s vaccination certificate form.

It is very important to clarify that a standard veterinary passport for a pet can only be obtained at a state medical institution.

Only such a passport will be genuine. All information about your dog will be entered into the form as your pet grows.

Where to get a veterinary passport for a dog

When purchasing a purebred puppy from a nursery or from a breeder with a good reputation, a veterinary passport is already included in the set of documents that is given to the buyer along with the puppy. The document is drawn up by the breeder himself when the first vaccination is carried out.

Otherwise, a veterinary passport for a dog can be purchased at any state veterinary service. A veterinary passport is an official document, so you should not purchase it from private veterinary clinics if there is no information about the licensing of their veterinary activities.

You should review the veterinary passport, since they are issued by various companies, the pages may contain advertising information or other useless information.

What is needed to obtain a passport?

The procedure for obtaining a passport takes a different amount of time - it depends on the age of the animal and its state of health. The document is always drawn up at the veterinary clinic. There you can find out what it looks like (domestic and international), buy a form and start filling it out. The owner can enter all the data independently, but in order for them to acquire legal force, the doctor must certify them with a seal and signature.

Note! For newborn puppies or kittens, it is better to call a doctor at home or postpone the procedure until a later time. Babies need to be surrounded by care, and a visit to the clinic can harm their health.

There are no special conditions required for filling out the paperwork—the owner’s desire is sufficient. To enter information about vaccinations and treatments, these steps must be completed. Any dog can have documents, even if it is not necessary for it.

The passport is issued by a veterinarian

How to fill out an international veterinary passport for a dog

This document is a small book with numbered sheets reserved for specific information.

The sections on the first pages are filled out by the breeder, dog owner or veterinarian. Enter information about the owner (full name, residential address, contact details) and about the dog (name, breed, gender, date of birth, color, special features, identification data). The gender of the animal is marked with a tick rather than written in letters. Next to the gender selection boxes there is a box to tick if the dog is spayed or neutered. Identification information includes a barcode sticker if the pet has a chip implanted, the date of implantation and the area where the chip is placed.

On the first page of the spread, a photograph of the animal is pasted in, preferably in full height (standing side view) and with the veterinarian’s seal. If the puppy is still small, then pasting in the photo should be postponed until the puppy is 1 year old. A hunting breed dog must be photographed full length on the left side.

The international veterinary passport has a page for filling in information about the breeder. The name and surname of the breeder, his full residential address and contact information should be indicated. A separate page is provided for the stamps of the veterinary institution and the doctor’s signature.

The following pages are marked with tables in which notes are made on vaccinations against rabies, plague, hepatitis, leptospirosis, enteritis and other vaccinations. The cells of the tables are filled out by a veterinarian, who enters the date of vaccination, pastes a sticker with information about the vaccine, signs and seals. Without stickers, seals and signatures, as well as vaccination certificates certified by unauthorized bodies, are considered invalid.

Vaccination data

The following is a section with notes on rabies vaccination. Each mark contains a date, type of vaccine (sticker), a stamp with the vaccine batch number, a veterinarian’s signature, and a clinic seal.

The section on basic vaccination contains information on vaccinations against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirosis, and is completed in the same way as the previous section.

In special sections on deworming and treatment for fleas and ticks, marks are made and drug stickers are pasted. This can be done either by the owner himself or by the doctor.

How to choose a veterinary passport?

Depending on what kind of animal you have, purchase the appropriate passport. The passports themselves are universal; they can be created for cats, dogs and other animals. There are passports for cats and dogs, most of them are international, in such a passport the columns are duplicated in English, I came across passports where English and Finnish were present. In any case, the difference between an international veterinary passport is that it has a translation into English; with such a passport, your pet will easily pass veterinary control in any country in the world.

Where can I get a veterinary passport?

Veterinary passports (forms) are freely sold in pet stores and veterinary pharmacies, clinics and offices. In addition, a passport is issued either by the breeder when you buy a kitten or puppy, or it will be given to you by a veterinarian after your pet has been vaccinated.

Why do you need a cat passport?

Both purebred animals and ordinary cats will need a veterinary document for the animal. If the animal does not have to travel soon, then you don’t need to get a passport. But many owners prefer to have a kind of “medical book” for their pet, so as not to forget about the vaccination schedule, deworming and other mandatory activities. Vaccine and anthelmintic labels pasted into passports will relieve owners of the need to remember the names of medications.

The form from the veterinarian must contain the necessary information about the owner, pet and include medical indications. It also contains information about breed membership. Owners going abroad need to find out how to get a cat's breed passport and other documents in advance.

International sample

The international option is needed for cats that need to be taken outside the country. The document in the form of a booklet can be purchased at the hospital. It contains special columns with translation into two languages - Russian and foreign (most often English or German).

The international veterinary passport for cats must contain special marks that comply with EU regulation 576/2013. If they are not there, then the pet will not be allowed into European countries.

When a pet enters the territory of the EU countries, you will need an international sample of a cat passport. This type differs from the usual format in its design. When filling out the fields, enter information in Russian, and then translate into English.

Regular passport

When transporting a pet across the territory of the Russian Federation, a veterinary certificate is required with notes on vaccinations (mandatory against rabies), treatments against parasites, as well as a special certificate in form No. 1 (it is not required everywhere, but only at some airports). Form number one is valid for only five days, so it is issued shortly before the trip. In the passport for the cat, all notes about timely rabies injections are made.

To travel by train in Russia, you do not need documents for a cat.

How to fill out a veterinary passport correctly.

Filling out a veterinary passport for a dog or cat is not at all difficult. Most of the entries are made by a veterinarian; the owner fills out only a few fields.

Pets photo

I think everything is clear here. You can take a photo of your cat or dog and paste the resulting photo into your passport; no stamps are required, and filling out this field is at the request of the owner.

Description of the animal / Main information

Pets name

Filled out in accordance with the card or metric received from the breeder/kennel, if the animal is purebred, if not - arbitrarily.

Here, too, we indicate the breed as in the metric; for “ordinary” cats and dogs we write the word “Mestis”.

Date of birth

We indicate the exact date if there is a metric; if not, we write an approximate one.

Gender in animals is written as male and female, not male and female. You can indicate the gender as “cat”, “cat”, “male” and “bitch”, but the latter looks like a curse word, so it’s better to be a female or you can draw “shield and spear of Mars” or “mirror of Venus”, for those who have artistic abilities.

Either we write off the metrics or think for ourselves. For white and black animals everything is simple, we write “white” or “black”. There are also more complex options, for example, “tortoiseshell” or “black and tan”; here the easiest way is to look on the Internet for photographs of the colors of six cats and dogs and their names, then select the one you want and write it down in your passport.

Distinguishing marks

Usually these are some color features, for example, a white spot behind the ear, “socks” on the front legs. In this field, describe your pet's distinctive feature, if any.

Animal card number

Pedigree number

We take these numbers from the document received from the breeder or nursery; if not, we leave empty fields.

Tatoo (tag) number

This applies more to dogs, if puppies get a tattoo with the number of the kennel, this number is an identifier, and it is indicated in the passport. Recently, the stigma has become less and less common; instead, dogs and cats are microchipped.

This is where the owner completes filling out data about the animal, such fields as

Identification number

Information about animal registration / Pets Registration

To be completed by a veterinarian.

Information about the pet owner is also filled in independently. There is nothing complicated, we write the last name, first name and patronymic, address and telephone number.

The fields are filled in by the breeder; if not, leave them blank.

All other fields will be filled out by the veterinarian.

Tatoo (tag) number. Some purebred cats and dogs are given a tattoo with a number at birth. If your pet has one, write the number in the column.

This is what an international veterinary passport looks like. The “Identification number” and “Pets Registration” fields are filled in by the veterinarian.

Sign up for chipping

You can have your pet microchipped at almost any veterinary clinic. A chip with an individual identification number will be inserted under the animal’s skin using a special disposable syringe. This procedure is painless: the chip is very small and will not cause any inconvenience to the animal.

Medical procedures required by the country of entry

Animals from Russia and the CIS countries are treated strictly abroad. Information on the procedures required by the country of entry can be found on the PetTravel website or on the websites of the state veterinary service of the country of arrival. The rules of some countries (UK, Cyprus, China and others) require quarantine or a blood test to rule out rabies.

The UK has the strictest rules in all of Europe for the entry of animals. The British veterinary service will require the results of a blood test of the animal. It must be taken 30 days after the rabies vaccination. All animals are brought into the kingdom in the luggage compartment as cargo. Even small Spitz dogs and miniature short-legged munchkins. You will have to issue a baggage waybill for your pet. You will also need a declaration confirming that the animal is yours and you are not going to sell it. The pet can be quarantined and even deported back if even minimal flaws are found.

Veterinary certificate F1

Do not confuse the F1 veterinary certificate with a veterinary passport. A veterinary certificate is an accompanying document for the transportation of animals, which is required to cross the border. You can obtain a veterinary certificate only at state veterinary clinics 30 days after the rabies vaccination. Online registration is available. A veterinary certificate will be required when passing veterinary control at the border. On its basis, an international veterinary certificate is issued.

How to get a passport for a dog

The owner can obtain a passport for a dog by contacting a veterinary clinic. This issue is often dealt with by the breeder from whom the puppy is purchased. At the age of 2-2.5 months, a note is placed in the document about deworming and the first vaccination of the pet. You can purchase dog metrics not only at a specialized institution, but also at a pet store.

And here is more information about the rules for transporting a dog in a car.

What does a dog's passport, international vaccination certificate look like?

A dog's passport looks like a small book in which the pages are divided into columns and lines. In the international document, names in Russian are duplicated in English. On the first page of the metric there is a place for pasting a photograph of the pet and lines in which data about the owner is entered - last name, first name, patronymic, place of residence, contact information. The international document contains a column that reflects information about the breeder.

As for data about the animal, the veterinary passport must indicate the name, date of birth, and breed. The document contains lines that include the animal’s gender, information about castration, color, and special features. After the dog turns 1 year old, a photograph is pasted into the document.

Separate columns in the metric contain data that allows you to identify a pet - brand, pedigree number, information about the microchip. As for information about microchipping, this section includes information about the date of the procedure and its location. A barcode is attached to the page, which confirms the fact of microchipping and completely replicates the data of the microchip implanted in the pet’s body.

The International Vaccination Certificate contains information regarding veterinary treatments performed. The document indicates the dates and drugs used for deworming before vaccination. On specially designated pages, information about the routine vaccination is entered - the date of vaccination, the name, series and number of the vaccine, the signature of a veterinary specialist and the seal of the institution where the procedure was carried out.

Gender of the dog in the passport: how to indicate

To indicate the gender of the dog in the passport, you must select a Latin designation: the male gender (male) is designated in veterinary metrics by the letter M (male), and the female gender (bitch) by the letter F (female). As a rule, in the document, the gender is marked with a tick in the box opposite the letter M or F. In addition to the gender, information about the castration (sterilization) of the animal is also entered.

Information about the pet’s gender, like other data, is entered into the document in legible handwriting and block letters.

Is data on deworming treatment included in the puppy passport?

The puppy passport, which is filled out by the breeder, contains information about deworming. Such data is necessary for a veterinarian to plan the first vaccinations and create a schedule for subsequent treatments. Information about the date of the antiparasitic procedure and the name of the drug is entered in the appropriate columns.

How long is a dog passport valid?

A dog passport is issued for an animal once and is valid for the entire life of the pet. An international document has no expiration date and, if lost, is subject to mandatory restoration.

Where to get a dog passport

You can get a dog passport at a pet store, a specialized clinic, or from a breeder. However, without the appropriate marks, signatures and seals, the metric will not be valid.

How much does it cost to get a passport for a dog?

Making a dog passport is inexpensive - the book itself with the necessary pages costs from 50 to 150 rubles, depending on the quality of the cover and design. Notes on deworming and vaccination are provided by a veterinarian free of charge.

What should be specified

The cat's passport must contain the following information:

Last name, first name and patronymic of the owner;
Address (street, city, country).

Your full name should be written down as in your own passport. An actual address is preferable (this will make it easier to find you if necessary), and if possible, it is better to indicate both your place of residence and your place of registration.

Phone - first of all, mobile, but again it is better to write down all the numbers that you can call.

As for the photo of the pet, it should be in color, no larger than 5.5 by 8 centimeters in size and show the whole cat, not just the face.

Is it necessary to obtain passports for animals?

It is mandatory to obtain a pet passport in cases where the pet crosses the border of the country. Without this document, executed accordingly, neither a cat nor a dog will be allowed through veterinary control at customs.

If you do not plan to travel abroad, then it is not necessary to issue an international document, but the animal must have a veterinary passport. Its presence will allow you to freely travel within the country, attend exhibitions and other events.

What documents are desirable to have for a dog and a cat?

When buying a puppy or kitten, you can get the first documents from the breeder - this is the purchase and sale agreement and the animal's registration. However, not every breeder can issue such papers.

In Russia, any person can breed animals, but few of them register their nursery as an official organization. Thus, some sellers simply cannot have a formalized purchase and sale agreement and pet registration.

But if you purchased a purebred animal in an official nursery (breeding), then you will definitely be given all the necessary documents. In this case, for the further possibility of your pet’s participation in exhibitions and breeding, you can also complete a pedigree a little later.

But not everyone wants to buy a puppy or kitten. Often our new friends come to us from the street. And, of course, you won’t find any contracts or metrics with them, and it will be simply impossible to draw up these documents from anyone.

In this case, only one document will be in the foreground - the veterinary passport.

Actions to take if an animal's veterinary passport is lost

An incorrectly completed cat or dog passport can result in the animal being returned home or even euthanized during travel. That is why it is strongly recommended to entrust its filling to a specialist.

information about reproduction (date of mating, estrus, birth, number of newborn kittens);
photo of the animal;
nickname;
breed and color;
coat color and type;
address and name of the breeder.

All notes in the veterinary passport are entered only by a veterinarian. A veterinary passport for any animal is an analogue of a human outpatient card.

In addition to information about the pet, the veterinary passport also contains information about its owner.

You need to know that the pages of the veterinary passport in the right places must contain the seal of the veterinary clinic, as well as the personal seal of the doctor. Each stamp affixed must be certified by the doctor’s personal signature. Otherwise, the document will be declared invalid.

This document is necessary so that you can make accompanying documentation for your pet for exporting it abroad. Remember, they will only be valid for the five days preceding departure.

You can also apply for an international veterinary passport. Its only difference from a regular passport is that all information is duplicated in German or English. Today, many clinics immediately issue the international version, which saves the owner time and money.

What other documents does a dog need?

A veterinary passport is often not the only paper. necessary for a puppy, and then for a grown dog:

To confirm the breed, a pedigree passport of the dog, or simply a pedigree, is issued. It can be received after the puppy reaches six months. After a breeding inspection of the young animals, the expert rejects adolescents with defects that are not allowed for breeding. Those who passed the inspection and received the first assessment of exterior and psyche can return the puppy card for exchange. There are several cynological federations that issue pedigrees. Of these, the most authoritative is the RKF, which belongs to the international FCI system. Individuals with the RKF pedigree can be exhibited anywhere, while dogs assigned to other federations are not registered at RKF shows.

For travel, you will need the form No. 1 already mentioned above. It is issued no less than 30 days after the rabies vaccination after a thorough examination of the pet. If he does not have rabies vaccination or the pet is under three months of age, it is not possible to obtain this certificate.

If mating is planned, then an act is drawn up for it, which regulates all the conditions and agreements between the owners of the dog and the bitch. The mating itself according to this act is registered in the canine organization that issued it.

Service dogs that pass tests for the general training course and the protective guard course receive a certificate upon completion with an assigned degree.

For large breeds, such as Great Danes, German Shepherds, Molossians, a mandatory test for hip and elbow dysplasia is required, according to the results of which individuals with moderate and more severe degrees of dysplasia (starting from C2) are rejected from breeding in order not to spread defects in the breed.

If the pet has a title, they must be supported by championship certificates. To do this, the required number of YUSAC, CAC or CACIB are submitted to the RKF along with a copy of the pedigree, an application for issuance and the paid fee, after which you are given or sent by mail a certificate. Puppies from such parents will have a note in the puppy card and pedigree that they were born from Champions. This fact affects the increase in the cost of puppies.

Among all the documents, the veterinary passport is the first and most necessary.

Vaccination is an effective way to prevent serious diseases, so every owner who cares about the life and health of their pet vaccinates it. This is recorded in the document, allowing the animal to move freely around the world, stay in any animal hotels, and animals with a pedigree to take part in competitions.

If it is available, the procedure for identifying a pet is simplified if it is necessary to prove ownership. If the metric is lost, the owner should contact the veterinary institution where the animal was vaccinated to restore it. The cost of a veterinary passport is from 50 to 150 rubles.

A passport for cats is almost completely identical to a dog passport in terms of information content, filling rules and cost.

What to do if your passport is lost

Anything can get lost in life, and your veterinary passport is no exception. The owners put it somewhere and cannot find it, lost it or forgot it at an exhibition, on a trip, etc. This is especially easy to do when there are several animals. If the search is unsuccessful, the document will have to be restored.

This may scare the owner, but in reality there is nothing wrong with it. To recover, the owner should contact the veterinary clinic where the animal was last vaccinated. It is very convenient if the dog has been seen by one doctor since birth - in this case, in addition to the last vaccination, all the data will be written down. Of course, vaccine stickers will not be pasted into the box, but simply written by hand, but together with the doctor’s signature and the clinic’s seal, this will be an equivalent replacement. If the animal was served by different clinics, then the latter will provide you with the latest information, which is usually what you need.

What information about the dog must be indicated in the document?

Nowhere is it stipulated what specific information should be included in the document and how to fill out a veterinary passport for a dog. But there are standard forms that usually include the following fields:

details of the animal owner (full name, address, telephone number);
information about the pet (photo, age, breed, color, special features, number, date and place of installation of the chip);
information about vaccinations, medical treatments, operations;
information about offspring.

Data on vaccinations contain the names and series of vaccines and drugs administered, their expiration dates and dates of vaccination. When specifying information about microchipping, it is more convenient to use a special sticker with the chip number rather than filling out the information manually.

The electronic chip, located inside a small capsule, is injected subcutaneously into the withers area using a disposable syringe. The size of the chip is very small, so the procedure does not cause pain in the dog, and the chip itself does not cause problems for the animal in the future. The chip code cannot be changed; it can be used to identify an animal in any country. The information is read using a special device.

For your information! In many countries, vaccinations and medical treatments performed only after the chip has been installed are taken into account. All interventions that were performed previously are not taken into account.

All sections of the passport are filled out with a blue or black pen in two languages - Russian and English.

Type of animal in the passport: example

To freely leave the country with your pet, you must fill out the document correctly.

The “Breed” section is filled out according to the information from the animal’s card or metric received from the nursery (breeder). For example, outbred animals are recorded as half-breed (mixed breed).

Gender of the dog in the passport: how to indicate

In some sections, it is enough to enter one character. The “Gender / Sex” field is filled in as follows:

Information about vaccination and deworming

This is the most important section of the veterinary passport. It must be filled out in as much detail as possible, because records of vaccinations and other medical interventions are paid attention to even when transporting a pet across the country. Some countries attach importance to certification of the administered vaccine. Therefore, it is advisable that the vaccination record be accompanied by a special sticker with the number and other information about the vaccine.

Information on vaccinations is certified by the signature of a veterinarian and the seal of a medical institution

Basic vaccines and procedures, information about which is included in the section:

rabies test. This is especially true for dogs that are taken hunting with them. Not required for domestic travel. But entering some countries with a dog, cat or ferret is impossible without this research. The test is done in laboratories that have passed state accreditation. The study is carried out one month after vaccination. The result is valid for 3 months;
operations (including sterilization). The date and name of the doctor who performed the procedure is recorded;
deworming, tick and flea treatment. The date of the procedure, the name of the medicine, and the dosage of the medicine are indicated. Additionally, attach a sticker to the drug label. When processing independently, the owner can enter information into the passport himself. In this case, you must contact the clinic so that the veterinarian examines the pet and certifies the record with a seal and signature;
vaccination. The date of vaccination, the name and number of the vaccine, and the sticker from the label of the ampoule with the drug are recorded.
