It needs an EU pet passport. Pets coming directly from Sweden do not need the rabies vaccination. Dogs need a tapeworm treatment from a vet 24 to 120 hours before arrival. Show animals to customs in the red channel. More than five animals falls under commercial import rules. source

- Dogs must generally be treated against fox tapeworm 24 to 120 hours before arrival. Exempt: dogs arriving directly from Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland or Malta. Cats and ferrets are exempt. source
- Quarantine
- No quarantine is listed for pets that meet the entry rules. An animal without approved papers can be refused: for example an animal arriving from Sweden without them must be sent back or boarded at the owner's cost. source
