Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and Luxembourg currently require a separate certificate to show that an animal has been vaccinated against rabies.
Vets can provide the necessary documents.
The requirements are subject to change and pet owners are advised to seek advice from the Board at the earliest opportunity.
