EU pets: EU pet passport required. Must show: ISO microchip (15-digit, 11784/11785 standard), valid rabies vaccination (minimum 21 days before travel if first vaccination), and tapeworm treatment record if entering from certain non-EU countries. Spain is an EU member, travel within the Schengen Area is straightforward with a valid pet passport.
Non-EU pets: Pets from non-EU countries entering Spain require an EU-format animal health certificate issued by an official government vet in the country of origin. The certificate must cover: ISO microchip, valid rabies vaccination, and any additional tests required (rabies antibody titer test for pets from unlisted countries). Entry must be at a designated EU Travellers` Point of Entry; Asturias Airport (OVD) handles EU and short-haul arrivals, so confirm requirements in advance for non-EU pets.
