I have a 3 part question, all relating to the same issue:
First, I will be travelling with my 1 1/2 year old maltese/yorkie mix at the end of June from NJ to Zagreb, Croatia - with a 3 hour layover in Denmark. He will be travelling in cabin with me (reservations have been set with the airline). My vet is telling me that I need 2 separate health certificate forms (which they will provide), one for Denmark (EU) and one for Croatia (non EU), and that each form must be certified by the USDA. I am not sure, however, why I need to fill out a form for a country (in this case, Denmark) which is simply a layover, as I won't be going through customs until I reach my final destination of Croatia.
Second, I was told by my vet that since we will be there for over 30 days, I would need to obtain all new health certificates issued by a vet in Croatia for travel back to the USA??????? None of this makes sense to me.
Third - though I am travelling from NJ, I reside in FL. Yes, the health certificates will be issued by a vet in FL (as will the USDA Cert). Could there be any problems with a FL issued cert and travel originating in NJ???????
I have tried contacting the Embassy of Denmark as well as Croatia, and nobody has answers for me. Can someone, anyone, please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
