Croatia Pet Import Requirements

To enter Croatia all dogs, cats and ferrets must have proof of a current rabies vaccination administration after a microchip was implanted.
Booster vaccinations are required to be administrated annually.
No waiting period if the primary vaccination was administered after a microchip was implanted and the booster was given before the previous one had expired. If your pet does get its next rabies vaccination within 1 year of a “primary” rabies vaccination, this “booster” rabies vaccination can be valid for 1-3 years, according to the vaccine manufacturer’s instructions. After any "primary" rabies vaccination, your pet must wait 21 days before traveling to the EU, if entering from a high-rabies country, you must wait minimum of 30 days after primary or booster vaccination before receiving a rabies titer test. Your pet can travel to the EU less than 21 days after a “booster” rabies vaccination, but then the previous rabies vaccination must also be included on the health certificate. Serum for rabies treatment must contain at least 0.5 UI/ml (International Units Per Milliliter). The test must be administrated by one of the laboratories listed here.

Rabies Titre Test is not required unless entering Croatia from a high-rabies country.

If entering from a high-rabies country, the titer test must be done 30 days after rabies vaccination(The day of vaccine is counted as day 0) and the test must be done 3 months prior to the transport of the pet in an EU-approved laboratory.
