A move from Georgia to Netherlands with a dog or cat is mostly about preparing the documents in the right order. Expect around 20-26 weeks of lead time to line up the documents and the fixed waiting periods. No routine quarantine applies as long as every requirement is met.
You will need a rabies titre test, which adds a mandatory wait, so begin it as soon as possible. Read on for the requirements, timing and carrier options for this route.

What Netherlands 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.
