Hi all,

What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Finland?

How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Finland?

What are the relevant authorities to contact?

Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets have to go in quarantine at their arrival in Finland?

Which advice would you give to the ones who would like to move with a dog, a cat or any other pet?

Thanks in advance for participating

I am in the process of bringing my dog to Finland from the US. It seems like it is going to be an easy process, just one that has a lot of stuff to do in the last few days.

Once I get her here successfully, I'll type up a complete answer as to the steps we went through. If we run in to any issues, I can make sure to note them.
