Your Complete Iceland Travel Guide

Iceland treats dogs as imported animals, so you can't simply fly in with your pet. You'll need an import permit from MAST (the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority) arranged months in advance, plus proof of microchipping, an up-to-date rabies vaccination and titre test, and a recent veterinary health certificate. On arrival most dogs go through a mandatory quarantine stay at an approved facility, so build that time and cost into your trip. Recommendations: start the paperwork early, keep vaccination records handy, book quarantine space ahead, and pack for cold, windy weather. For MAST import permits, microchip and rabies requirements, the titre test, quarantine versus home isolation, costs, and a full timeline, read our complete guide to traveling to Iceland with dogs.
