Watch Armenia.
We'll email you if Armenia's rules change for your American passport, United States plates or your pet. That's the only email you'll get.
What your pet needs to cross into Armenia.
Do these in order. Miss one and your pet can be held at the border.
- Before you go
Microchip (ISO 11784/11785)
Microchip is not strictly required here but strongly recommended; implant it before the rabies vaccine.
- Still valid the day you arrive
Rabies vaccine still valid on arrival
Your pet's rabies vaccine must still be valid on the day you cross. Check the 'valid until' date on the vaccination record and book a booster before it runs out.
- 20 to 365 days before you arrive
Rabies vaccination
Vaccinate against rabies no later than 20 days before departure, and within the last 12 months.
- Within 5 days before you arrive
Clinical exam recorded in the international vet passport
A vet examines the pet and stamps the international (EU-style) pet passport shortly before travel.
- By the day you arrive
Other core vaccinations
Dogs: distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, adenovirus, leptospirosis. Cats: panleukopenia.
- At the border
Veterinary check on arrival
Enter only through a border checkpoint that has veterinary control and present the pet.
