Pets arriving in Lithuania from Ukraine are accepted, even if they are unlabeled, not vaccinated against rabies, have neither proper veterinary documentation nor a rabies antibody titer.
After receiving information on an unvaccinated pet from Ukraine, the responsible officials of the territorial divisions of the SFVSS will arrange the microchipping, rabies vaccination, and monitoring of such an animal for 21 days at the place where the pet is kept.
The changes to the introduction of pets into the EU apply exclusively to Ukrainian citizens and not to legal entities such as sellers or breeders – the procedure for the commercial introduction of pets into the EU remains unchanged for the time being.
After arriving in Lithuania with a pet marked with a microchip and vaccinated against rabies, please notify ukrainepets@vmvt.lt for monitoring purposes.
After arriving in Lithuania with a pet vaccinated during the trip to Lithuania, the pet must be quarantined at the person’s location for 21 days after vaccination.
After arriving in Lithuania with an unmarked and non-vaccinated pet, please notify ukrainepets@vmvt.lt. Following notification about a non-vaccinated pet, its vaccination and labeling will be provided free of charge.
If you have any questions, please contact ukrainepets@vmvt.lt or 8 800 40 403.
