If I were to PCS to Germany, what is the quarantine time for pets?

Ive heard that pets (ie: dogs, cats) have a 3 months quarantine time before being released back to the owners? Can anyone confirm or deny?

There isn't a quarantine for pets in Germany, as long as you have a multilingual health certificate from a certified vet no older than 10 days from when you land. And updated shots that are at least 30 days old when you arrive. And a microchip.

There is no quarantine time for normal pets. There are restrictions for some exotics. Contact your base Veteranarian as there are specific times that certain evaluations need to be complete prior to DEROS. Thank you for your service.

you'll need to get with the vet office on post get the animals pet passports.,... then make sure their shots and meds are up to date... talk with the vets on post they can give you the best answers... i took two dogs to Italy and didn't get quarantined at all... but i had everything up to date... i also had to get their pet passports stamped... i also had to pay around a 140 euro to import them.

Send pet a few days before your departure date. making sure the other family member is up to date on their shots. When you arrive the other family member is ready to depart with you. This is what we did and it was less stressful on the pet.

the one thing to remember with large pets is to have someone waiting on you on the other side because you might not have your car yet so youll need a way to get them to where your staying from the airport.

That is the UK. It's been some time since I served in Germany, but we brought a dog through without a quarantine.

Check with an Animal Forwarding Service.
