Germany follows the European Union's harmonized pet import regulations, making the process well-documented and predictable. Pets from the US need an ISO microchip, a valid rabies vaccination, and a rabies antibody titer test performed at an EU-approved lab. There is no quarantine for pets entering Germany from the US when all documentation is in order.
