Bringing a pet to Ireland: import rules

Dublin draws most Ireland-bound pet relocations, with Cork and Galway taking the rest. Ireland follows the EU pet travel scheme and adds tapeworm treatment requirements for dogs from origins outside specific approved lists. Arrivals at Dublin Airport are well-coordinated, and the path from rabies-controlled origins like Indonesia involves the standard titer wait.
