Please guide me on the complete procedure on how i can get him here along with my parents.

Answer: Hello Vinita!

Here's what you will need to get your dog into Germany (steps must be followed in the order specified):

1) Microchip

2) Rabies Vaccination, then wait for 30 days, then

3) Blood sample taken by an official veterinarian at least 30 days after vaccination and 3 months before traveling

4) Blood test result from an EU-approved laboratory showing that the rabies antibody titre was equal to or more than 0.5IU/ml. Please see here.

5) These results need to be accompanied by a health certificate issued by an official veterinarian certifying compliance with the above requirements and counter signed by your accredited vet.

For more specific information on these requirements, please see our site. Also, if you have any more questions, our EU Specialist, Matt Johnson, would be happy to clear things up for you!
