1. Identification and Sterilization
In Belgium, identification of dogs and cats is mandatory, as is rabies vaccination.
Ukrainians arriving with pets must comply with these regulations.
Cat sterilization is also mandatory before the age of 6 months, except for breeding cats.
Breeders must apply for approval via Brussels Environment: bienetreanimal@environnement.brussels
