What this route typically costs
Critical points
The 90-day waiting period runs from the titre test blood draw date, not the date the result arrives. Miscalculating this is the most common cause of pets being refused at the Swedish border.
Sweden does not require tapeworm treatment, unlike Norway and Finland. This is one fewer step compared to those destinations.
Do not book flights until you have a confirmed blood draw date and can calculate the earliest permitted entry date into Sweden.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
Meeting Sweden's entry requirements
Advice worth following
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.
