🇮🇱 Pet Import to Israel

Israel requires an advance import permit from the Ministry of Agriculture's Veterinary Services, an ISO microchip, current rabies vaccination, and a veterinary health certificate for incoming dogs and cats, with no standard facility quarantine for pets meeting these requirements, though some pets may be subject to a period of supervised home isolation. Pets from countries without recognized rabies control may face additional titer-test requirements. Security screening at Ben Gurion Airport adds extra handling steps for animal cargo. The most common failure point is arriving without the pre-approved import permit matched to the pet's exact travel dates.
