Which Canada rules depend on a pet coming from Greece?
Canada sets different rules for 3 groups of countries, and the official wording does not settle on its own which group covers Greece. Check the group table in our Canada guide before you plan.
These rules apply to pets from Greece, on top of the rules every pet follows:
- Rabies vaccination: An EU pet passport is accepted in place of the rabies vaccination certificate if it contains all the required details. Applies to dogs and cats with an EU pet passport.
Pet import tool content (results behind Bringing animals to Canada: importing and travelling with pets), checked 2 October 2026
The rules that apply to every pet entering Canada, whatever the origin, are listed with their official sources in our Canada guide.
What does Greece require before your pet leaves?
- Export health certificate: Greek owners can apply online through gov.gr, using their Taxisnet credentials, for the veterinary health certificate needed to travel with a pet to countries that require one. The page's description of who issues it and how the answer is delivered could not be read on 6 October 2026 (the service body is rendered by script), so those details are not confirmed here. Applies to dogs and cats leaving Greece for countries that require a health certificate.
