Ireland follows EU pet import regulations with an additional requirement for tapeworm treatment in dogs, similar to the UK. Dublin Airport is the primary entry point for pets, and Shannon Airport also accepts animal imports. No quarantine is required for properly documented pets from the US, and the process typically takes 3-4 months of preparation.
