TRAVELING WITH PETS
PET TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION
Traveling from other EU country

Pet Passport & Health Certificate
Flying from United States

15-code microchip: Required for dogs and cats.
Rabies Vaccination: Must be administered more than 20 full days (but less than 12 months) before flying.
DD Form 2209: Dual language health certificate from a military veterinarian or USDA certified veterinarian. Forms must be dated within 10 days of arrival in Italy and in blue ink.
TIP: A Leptospirosis vaccination is required for pets upon arrival in Italy. You can vaccinate your pet prior to arrival and then submit vaccination paperwork once in Italy.

PETS ARE A PRIVILEGE
We all love our pets like family, but remember that bringing pets to Italy is a privilege, not an entitlement. As such, the Contract Travel Office (CTO) does not book pet flights, but they can book your Soldier and family on a pet-friendly flight with the CTO contracted airline or other airline as long as it’s a U.S. Flag Carrier. All costs associated with pet travel are at your expense.
NOTE: Soldiers (≤E6) traveling without dependents will stay in barracks. Pets are not allowed in barracks.

PET TRAVEL & RESTRICTIONS
Breeds: There are no breed restrictions in Italy or on-post. However, airlines often have restrictions.
There may be extra requirements or costs to ship “aggressive/dangerous,” large or snub-nosed pets.
Kennel (checked or cargo): Pets need airline-approved, hard cages with screw-bolt closures, breathing holes on all sides, and room to stand up, turn around and lie down.
Visit IATA for pet size and kennel requirements. Certain breeds/sizes require custom crates (~$250).
Ensure connecting flights can handle pet crate size.
Airline Pet Policies: Small pets: cabin. Large pets: checked (on your flight) or cargo (separate flight). Learn airline pet policies (and military exceptions) before calling. Keep calm and keep calling until you find a well-informed airline rep.
Temperature: Airlines won’t let pets travel as checked bag or cargo if it’s too hot/cold on flight day. Have a plan B.
Airports & Layovers: For layovers in other countries, know each country’s pet regulations before booking flights.
Avoid layovers in UK as they quarantine pets.
Large pets might not be able to fly to VCE. Ask the CTO about flying into Verona or Milano Malpensa.
Animal Shippers: Based on breed/size, you may have toship your pet separately (~$2000). See IPATA shippers.
BOOK PET TRAVEL
Traveling with pets requires a lot of pre-planning. Don’t forget to connect with your sponsors and our Vicenza Military Community for support if you need it. Just remember that everyone’s experience traveling with pets is different.

VISIT CONTRACT TRAVEL OFFICE (CTO)
Pre-Plan: The CTO, e.g. CWT SatoTravel, doesn’t book pet flights, but they can book you on a pet-friendly flight with the CTO contracted airline or other U.S. Flag Carrier as required by the Fly America Act. Research dates and U.S. Flag Carriers that can accommodate your pet:
Use City Pairs Search Tool to see your allotted YCA fare and the airline contracted to fly to VCE. Stop by CTO to learn other possible U.S. Flag Carrier options.
Research airline pet policies/military exceptions.
Call airline. Tell them you are on military orders and you want to check a pet. Write down flights and dates with available pet space.
Visit CTO: Bring pet-friendly flight options to CTO and pet breed, sex, age, cage dimensions, and weight of pet + cage. Book flights with CTO after confirming the airline (and partner airlines!) can fly your pet overseas.
Contracted airline doesn’t have pet space? Ask CTO if other U.S. Flag Carriers have pet space.
VCE can’t accommodate your pet’s breed/size? Ask CTO if U.S. Flag Carriers fly to VRN or MXP.
AFTER CTO VISIT
Pet Flight: Although CTO will book your Soldier and family’s flights, they do not book pet flights. You must call the airline to reserve your pet’s flight.
Reconfirm Pet Flight: Call and reconfirm your pet’s reservation MULTIPLE times in the weeks/days before departure. Pet reservations can get lost easily.
Flight Day: Arrive extra early to pay and check-in pets.
NOTE: Have a plan B (change flight; friend on standby) in case of a temperature embargo on flight day.
Transportation from Airport in Italy to Post: If you arrive at an airport other than VCE, or if you arrive in VCE and your pet weighs over 3kg or its cage does not fit on/between bus seats, pre-arrange pet transport.

You need to check with local housing office. Generally I believe you are limited to one large pet or two small pets in government housing. No telling what’s available for local economy housing or the landlord’s per policy.
