What this route typically costs
Critical points
Seychelles being rabies-free does not shorten the EU side of this process. The titre test and 90-day wait apply because Germany, like the rest of the EU, does not class Seychelles as a low-risk third country.
Miss the 30-day gap between vaccination and blood draw and the whole 90-day clock has to restart from a fresh sample.
A pet shipped without its owner travelling within a few days may be treated as a commercial import under EU rules, changing the certificate and entry point required.
Approved carriers for this route

Getting the details right
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
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.
