We couldn’t afford mistakes, so after extensive research we chose Starwood Pet Transport, and it was the best decision we made.From day one, their team was exceptional. They clearly explained the process, costs, and requirements, then guided us step by step once we signed on. They coordinated directly with our veterinarians, ensured critical documents were updated correctly, handled crate purchases, and managed true door-to-door pickup and delivery. What truly set them apart was communication. We received constant updates—texts, emails, and photos—which made an emotionally difficult separation far more bearable. Knowing where our dogs were and that they were safe meant everything. Our boys arrived quickly and in perfect condition. We are profoundly grateful to the Starwood team. If you’re relocating a pet internationally, there is no better service. - Teresa Garcia-Bovenmyer **Source: [Google](https://share.google/jxYtkgBK6UUtUi8ta) ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close #### Review from Paul Mantegna × ![Review Image](https://505287.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/505287/review3.webp) 225 days ago Our move to Spain was made easier by our friends at Starwood Pet Travel. They made the transit of our 2 french bulldogs work without a hitch. There were so many things that had to happen, they made it easy.We were able to be in contact ahead of the travel and had all of questions answered, either with just a quick call, or by scheduling a meeting. Even when our pups travel changed due to a change in the airline schedule, all went well. Cassidy kept me informed of their progress during their travel. And, beforehand, was available to help ensure that all would go according to plan. Starwood was easy to work with, explaining the process, travel immigration rules of the airlines country.Our pets were skittish on the night of arrival. That day, they had flow from Frankfurt to Madrid, gone through immigration, and then a 3 1/2 hour van ride to be brought to us. Within an hour, they were back to their old selves and have been so ever since.cWe are glad for the help of Starwood, and Cassidy in particular.I cannot do anything but recommend them. Remember, you are choosing to move, your pets are not. - Paul Mantegna **Source: [Google](https://share.google/PV2OU2UiA4mVY3j9t) ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close × ![Review Image](https://505287.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/505287/Johnson.webp) 455 days ago In planning our move to Spain, we attempted to book our dogs in cargo with several airlines. Each time, it was a disaster. We were quoted the incorrect information by several airlines, booked tickets, then had to cancel those and spent countless hours on the phone. I had seen Starwood Pet Travel in an internet search and finally decided to contact them. This company was awesome. From the first conversation with Ben, then with our coordinator, Ashley, they answered all of our questions and concerns. We did have some slight bumps along the way, but Starwood was there to solve the minor problems. Our dogs arrived relaxed and happy to see us again. I highly recommend this service if you are planning to move abroad. They handled customs and everything, even delivering our pets to us at our new home in Spain. We cannot thank Starwood Pet Travel for everything they did to make this a smooth transition to our new lives in Spain. Francesca, D’Amari, Timber, and Cinder also send a big sloppy kiss to you all at Starwood. **Source: Google ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close × ![Review Image](https://505287.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/505287/lily-oliver%20(1).webp) 509 days ago 14/10 highly recommend Starwood. Great communication throughout, fantastic team members all along the way. Ryan Bole helped facilitate every step. The vet visit was convenient. We had issues with our visas that required two flight changes - Starwood was with us all the way. Our travel originated in Seattle, WA. We received updates and photos which made us feel much better. The doggos (Lily the wonder schnauzer and Sir Oliver Dachsund extraordinaire) arrived tired but well cared for. Two days later they have acclimated and are eager for many doggo adventures to come in Spain. A heartfelt thank you to Starwood! **Source: Google ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close × ![Review Image](https://505287.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/505287/doodle.webp) 521 days ago **OUTSTANDING FROM START TO FINISH!** We cannot thank Starwood—and specifically Sarah—enough! We moved to Spain from Maryland, and we were extremely nervous about relocating our dog, Ella. I’m certain I was exhausting with all my questions and worries, but they didn’t miss a beat. Every question I had was answered quickly and professionally. (Honestly, I don’t think Sarah sleeps!) We flew out the same day as Ella, but due to a USDA delay in paperwork, she couldn’t travel as scheduled. Without missing a beat, they placed her in a top boarding facility near the airport, and we received frequent updates and photos. They worked quickly to obtain the corrected documentation and rebooked Ella on the next flight. She arrived happy, healthy, and clean. I will never use another service when moving my dog—and I highly recommend that you look no further. **Source: Google ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close × ![Review Image](https://505287.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/505287/zena2%20(1).webp) 524 days ago I used Starwood Pet Travel to move my dog from New Jersey, USA to Madrid in January 2025. They are very organizes and responsive, their homepage is very well done and useful to understand everything you need with respect of Veterinary, Customs and Airline paperwork. I had several conversations with my advisor Rosemary during the month previous to the travel day. We also exchange emails and texts. They used Lufthansa for the trip which is considered the best Animal Cargo Airline. They have veterinary service and check on the dog once ot gets to Frankfurt. The service is not cheap but it was worthwhile because it gave me peace of mind. **Source: Google ** [View more reviews →](https://www.starwoodpet.com/pet-shipping-testimonials) Close #### Review from Morgan Moyed × 566 days ago So happy with Starwood's service in moving my 2 cats from Houston, TX to Madrid, Spain! Kirsty was very communicative throughout the entire process and was quick to answer my questions and concerns and everything went smoothly with Starwood working with my vet to get their health certificates in time. I was super nervous about my cats traveling without me and having a layover in Germany, but I was kept updated and sent photos of their journey every step of the way. The only thing that was a little stressful was the fact that the carrier was late to pick them up, but Kirsty took care of that and they still made it to their flight on time. Sable and Sandman were so happy to see me when they finally arrived in Madrid and are settling into our new home!

Whether you're heading to bustling Barcelona, sunny Seville, or the serene hills of Asturias, Spain is a beautiful and pet-welcoming destination. That said, importing pets into Spain requires careful preparation and compliance with EU animal health regulations. Here’s everything you need to know to make the move smooth, safe, and stress-free for your furry family member. Microchip ### Microchip  Your pet must have a **15-digit ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip** implanted before receiving any rabies vaccination. This microchip will be scanned at customs upon entry. Vaccinations ### Vaccinations  ##### Rabies Vaccination - The rabies vaccine must be given **after** microchip implantation - It must be administered at least 21 days before travel - The vaccine must be current and valid on the date of entry - Only inactivated rabies vaccines are accepted - Pets must be at least 12 weeks old to receive the vaccine ##### Other Vaccinations Spain does not require pets to have any vaccinations other than rabies. However, we recommend that pets stay up to date with the following. Do note that if your pet will be boarding, these vaccinations will be required. - **Dogs**: DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus), Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Leptospirosis, CIV (Canine Influenza Virus) - **Cats**: FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia), Feline Leukemia Blood Tests ### Blood Tests  Spain does not require any additional blood tests for cats, dogs, or ferrets unless your pet is [traveling from an "unlisted" country](https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/pets-and-other-animals/index_en.htm). If your pet is traveling from an "unlisted" country, then a rabies titer blood test will be required. The rabies titer test must be completed at least 30 days after their rabies vaccination and at least 3 months before traveling to the EU. This test must be completed by an authorized (USDA-Accredited) vet and the sample must be sent to an [EU approved laboratory](https://food.ec.europa.eu/animals/movement-pets/designated-laboratories-performing-rabies-antibody-titration-tests_en). Health Certificate ### Health Certificate  Pets traveling from the USA must have a [Spanish EU health certificate](https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel/us-to-another-country-export/pet-travel-us-spain), which must be: - Issued within 10 days of travel - Completed by a **USDA-accredited veterinarian** - Endorsed by USDA APHIS - Written in English and Spanish - Accompanied by the rabies certificate and microchip documentation **This certificate is valid for:** - Entry into the EU: 10 days from issue - Travel within the EU: up to 4 months or until the rabies vaccine expires Arrival & Customs ### Arrival & Customs  Pets must enter Spain through a designated Traveler’s Point of Entry (POE) such as **Madrid (MAD), Barcelona (BCN), or Málaga (AGP)**. At arrival, customs officials may: - Scan the pet’s microchip   - Check documentation - Ask questions to verify compliance If traveling without your pet, the move must occur **within 5 days** of your own travel to qualify as a **non-commercial** relocation. Breed Restrictions & Special Considerations ### Breed Restrictions & Special Considerations Although many countries ban certain breeds of dogs and/or cats, Spain does not. **However, if your dog is one of the following breeds, you will need to muzzle them to go through security and register them within 3 months of arrival**: - Pit Bull Terrier   - Staffordshire Bull Terrier   - American Staffordshire Terrier   - Rottweiler   - Dogo Argentino   - Fila Brasiliero   - Tosa Inu - Akita Inu   **Age Restrictions** Spain does not allow the import of kittens, puppies, or baby ferrets that are less than **12 weeks old** and have no rabies vaccination, nor do they allow those between 12-16 weeks whose rabies vaccine is less than 21 days old at the time of arrival.  How Starwood Can Help ### How Starwood Can Help  Starwood has been relocating pets to Spain for over two decades.

Thousands of pets fly every year without issue. You can read more about pet travel safety [here.](https://starwoodpet.com/blog/will-my-pet-be-safe-on-an-airplane/) ### Should I sedate my pet? + NO. It is not recommended to sedate or tranquilize any pet that is flying on an airplane. This can negatively affect their breathing and respiration when they are up in the air at high altitudes. This can be even more dangerous for pets with pre-existing conditions or snub-nosed (brachycephalic) pets. Starwood will NOT transport any pet that has been sedated or tranquilized. Additionally, if the airline believes that your pet has been sedated, then they can refuse your pet for travel. You can learn more about sedation and air travel in our [blog post.](https://starwoodpet.com/blog/dont-tranquilize-your-pet-during-air-travel-theres-better-options) ### Where do pets travel on the plane? + Starwood only transports pets who are traveling as manifest cargo. This means that they travel on commercial flights underneath the passenger cabin in a space that is temperature controlled, pressurized, and oxygenated. Live animals travel beneath the pilot and the pilot must sign off on a manifest so they are aware of any pets onboard. Your pet’s travel kennel will be held into place by a thin netting that acts like a seatbelt to keep them safe and secure during takeoff and landing. [Learn more about where pets travel on a plane](https://www.starwoodpet.com/blog/where-do-pets-fly-on-a-plane). ### Will my pet eat or drink? + You should definitely ensure your pet is provided plenty of water prior to and on the day of their big adventure. Our team will also make sure that their water bowls are topped off once we check them in for the flight. Once pets are in the care of the airline after check-in, the airline staff will be sure to top off water as well. However, it is NOT recommended for pets to eat right before takeoff or during the flight. This can cause an upset stomach, which we of course want to avoid. Our team will not provide food for the flight and we do not recommend feeding them less than 4 hours prior to flight departure. If your pet has a layover, they will be provided more water and some food (depending on the length of the layover). Water will also be provided once they have landed as they are clearing through customs. If your pet will be boarding or spending time in quarantine throughout their trip, they will be provided food and water regularly. [You can read more about whether you should feed pets who are flying in our blog.](https://starwoodpet.com/blog/should-i-feed-my-dog-before-flying-what-else-should-i-know) ### How will my pet go to the bathroom? + If you have a dog that is traveling, our team will provide them with a nice walk and potty break prior to check-in at the airport. Once your pet is checked in, they must remain inside their travel kennel until they arrive at the destination. We do not let cats out of the travel kennel after we pick them up since you know they can be sneaky escape artists. Upon arrival to the destination, dogs will be provided with a walk and potty break before they head home to you. Again, cats will need to remain inside their travel kennels unless there is a safe and secure room to let them out. Litter boxes are not permitted to be inside the travel kennel so please be aware that sometimes your pet may go to the bathroom inside the kennel. As they say, if you gotta go, you gotta go. If your pet has soiled their travel kennel and there is a safe place to let them out of the kennel then we do try our best to clean the kennel when possible prior to delivery.
