HEADING TO POLAND WITH YOUR PET? HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FOR YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBER.

Poland is known for being a relatively pet-friendly country, especially in urban and suburban areas where many families have dogs and cats. However, the level of pet-friendliness can vary depending on the city and community. If you’re planning to relocate your pet to Poland, here’s a helpful guide to what you and your furry companion can expect:

Veterinary Services in Poland

Poland has a robust veterinary care system, with clinics and hospitals available in most cities. Urban areas like Warsaw, Kraków, and Wrocław are home to well-known establishments such as VetCare Warsaw and Kraków Veterinary Clinic, offering services from vaccinations to regular check-ups and specialized treatments.

Pet Products in Poland

Major cities in Poland feature an excellent selection of pet supply stores and supermarkets. Places like PetZone Warsaw, Kraków Pet Emporium, and Wrocław Paw Paradise stock everything from nutritious food to toys, grooming tools, and travel accessories.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations in Poland

When looking for pet-friendly rentals, consider contacting landlords or agencies like Pawsitive Properties (Warsaw), Kraków Pet Homes, or Wrocław Pet-Friendly Rentals. It’s best to clarify pet policies upfront to ensure a smooth transition for your whole family.

Public Spaces in Poland

Poland offers beautiful parks and open spaces for pets to enjoy. Some popular urban options include Warsaw Pet Park, Kraków Canine Commons, and Wrocław Bark Park. Always follow local pet etiquette and leash rules to maintain a safe, enjoyable environment.

Pet Relocation to Poland

When relocating pets from India to Poland, professional services like Anvis Pet Relocation make the process simple and stress-free. From crate training to documentation and airport support, we ensure a smooth journey tailored to your pet’s needs.

Pet Transportation in Poland

Taxis and ride-sharing services like PawsCar often accommodate pets, especially in larger cities. Make sure to confirm the pet policy in advance and travel with a crate or harness for safety and convenience.

Pet-Friendly Establishments in Poland

Urban areas in Poland offer a variety of welcoming spots for pet parents. You’ll find charming places like Woof & Whisker Café in Warsaw, Kraków Purrfect Bistro, and Wrocław Wagging Tails Tavern, which often feature outdoor seating and pet-friendly policies. Always call ahead to confirm pet access, especially for indoor areas.

Climate Considerations in Poland

Poland experiences a temperate climate with cold winters, so it’s important to keep your pets comfortable and protected throughout the seasons. Invest in warm pet gear and explore local products like PawWarmers to help your pet stay cozy during colder months.

Community Attitudes in Poland

Poland has a generally pet-loving culture, and many locals are friendly toward animals. However, it’s essential to respect community norms and local regulations regarding pet behavior, leash rules, and clean-up etiquette to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Pet Services in Poland

Larger Polish cities offer a wide range of pet services, from grooming salons like PawPalace Warsaw, to spas like Kraków Pampered Paws, and daycare centers such as Wrocław Whisker Haven. Availability may vary in smaller towns and rural areas, so planning in advance is advisable.

Before relocating to Poland with your pet, research local pet ownership regulations and requirements in your intended city or region. Joining local pet communities or expat groups on platforms like Facebook can also provide valuable tips, support, and firsthand experiences from fellow pet parents in Poland.

INTERNATIONAL PET TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS FROM INDIA TO POLAND
PET RELOCATION GUIDE FOR POLAND:
A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

STEP 1: Initiate the Process Early

Begin preparing for your pet’s relocation to Poland at least 4 months in advance to meet all EU import requirements on time.

STEP 2: Measure Your Pet

Accurately measure your pet and purchase an IATA-compliant travel crate. Recommended brands include Petmate, VariKennel, and SkyKennel, all of which we can help you source.

STEP 3: Crate Training

Help your pet adjust to its travel crate well in advance. Refer to our Crate Training Guide for effective techniques and tips.

STEP 4: Microchip Implantation

Have your pet implanted with an ISO 11784/785 compliant 15-digit microchip before rabies vaccination. We can help with microchip procurement or connect you with qualified vets.

STEP 5: Vaccination Protocol

Dogs: Anti-Rabies, DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus)
Cats: Anti-Rabies, FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia)

STEP 6: Rabies Titer Test (RNATT)

30 days after rabies vaccination, a blood sample must be drawn for rabies antibody titration.

Test must show ≥0.5 IU/ml
Conducted in an EU-approved lab
Wait at least 90 days after successful test before travel

STEP 7: Choose Mode of Relocation

Pets must enter Poland via designated Border Inspection Posts (Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk, etc.). Choose from:

Accompanied Baggage: Pet travels with you, either as cabin baggage or in the hold
Manifest Cargo: Pet travels alone as booked cargo
Premium Service: An Anvis Pet Expert accompanies your pet door-to-door for maximum safety and care

STEP 8: Select the Airline & Book Pet’s Space

Choose an airline based on route efficiency, stopovers, weather, and crate dimensions. Confirm pet travel booking with the airline or through your pet relocation coordinator.

STEP 9: Vet Check & Document Endorsement

Within 10 days of travel, visit your vet for:

General health check
Microchip certification
Parasite treatment certificates
Sterilization and fitness-to-fly documentation

STEP 10: Tapeworm Treatment (Dogs Only)

Administer tapeworm treatment (e.g., Praziquantel) between 24–120 hours before entering Poland. Document the treatment with the vet’s endorsement.

STEP 11: Obtain the EU Health Certificate

Have your vet complete and get endorsed the EU Annex IV Health Certificate from the Government Veterinary Authority. It’s valid for 10 days from issuance.

STEP 12: Comply with the EU 5-Day Rule

Pets must arrive within 5 days before or after the pet parent for the move to be considered non-commercial. Beyond this, commercial import rules apply. Clarify this with your relocation specialist.

STEP 13: Final Health Check & Certificate Issuance

Schedule a final check with the Government Veterinarian 4–5 days prior to departure to validate all certificates and address any last-minute requirements.
