5.Transportation of animals.
Animals can be transported to Ukraine by air, rail or road. Before you go on a trip, you should make sure that you have the necessary documentation and other materials for the safe and successful introduction of your animal into Ukraine. Here are some of them:
Certificates from veterinarians: Before bringing your animal into Ukraine, you need to secure certificates from veterinarians that confirm the animal's health and that it has been vaccinated against certain diseases.
Vaccination certificate: Ukrainian veterinary organizations require the animal to be vaccinated against many diseases, including rabies. Therefore, before leaving for Ukraine you need to have a certificate of vaccination against rabies and other diseases.

Providing a place for the animal: When moving with an animal, you need to provide a place for it to stay that suits its size and needs. If you are transporting an animal by air, it will usually be transported in the baggage compartment.
Check the restrictions on the import of animals: each country has its own restrictions on the import of animals, so you need to check in advance which animals can be brought into the Ukraine and which ones are prohibited to import into Ukraine. For example, it is prohibited Ukraine to import certain types of animals, such as dogs and cats from hot countries where there are threats of viruses and diseases, as well as certain types of exotic animals. Therefore, before bringing your animal into Ukraine, check the list of prohibited animals and the requirements for their import.
For more information on the import of animals into Ukraine, you should contact the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection or your local veterinary authority.
