What this route typically costs
Critical points
The 3-month wait is counted from the blood draw date, not the result date. Miscalculating this causes the move to fail at the Spanish border.
Confirm that the EU-approved laboratory you use accepts samples from Azerbaijan and can arrange courier shipping of the blood sample.
PPP-listed breeds require civil liability insurance of at least EUR 120,000 before arriving in Spain. This must be arranged before travel.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
What Spain requires
Avoiding the common mistakes
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
Book the titre test laboratory well ahead. Approved labs have limited slots and the sample takes time to process, so this is not something to leave to the final weeks.
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
