Rules and Regulations for Dog Owners

In order to be able to spend relaxing holidays with your dog in Merano and its surroundings, please consider a few things, which have to be observed when crossing the border and on site

Entry requirements:
A properly completed EU passport for your dog has to be carried along, this you get from your veterinarian. In the passport the required anti-rabies vaccination must appear. It must be done at least 21 days before coming to South Tyrol.
