Pets

It is important that you take your pet to the veterinary clinic as soon as possible after arrival. This visit is free at many (but not all) veterinary practices and the animal will receive a general examination, necessary vaccinations, microchipping and registration if necessary. Before visiting the veterinarian, make sure the animal has as little contact as possible with other people and animals. The veterinarian will register the pet at the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA). Call 088-8113333 or email info@hulpvoordierenuitoekraine.nl for more information about a free veterinary clinic visit.

Please note: that in most cases you have to pay a dog tax in the Netherlands. It depends on the municipality in which you live. In some municipalities you do not have to pay this tax. The amount of the tax varies per municipality and is approximately € 60 - 150 per year. This amount is also dependent on the number of dogs. The tax is higher if you have more dogs.
