I am a Canadian that recently got his UK passport. I’m planning on going to Poland from Canada at the start of January. I will be taking my small dog with me, he’s 10lbs and is very quiet and well behaved.

What I do know is that I have to make sure I have all of his shots up to date for traveling on a plane and for the country I’m going to. I’ll have to call the airline and country (embassy? I’m not sure who to call) ahead of time to inform them I will be bringing my dog.

I’ve read about an EU passport for your pet but it doesn’t look like I can get that until I’m in Europe.

Is there anything I can do to make traveling to Europe and within Europe with my dog easier? Is there a passport I can get for him? Is traveling from Poland to Germany going to be easy as long as I have his documentation?
