Thank you Daniela and Liam. I am still terrified I am going to screw up moving my cat to Ireland, but have to say this site has been incredibly help.

The one advantage I have found from contacting them both direct is that Vets Direct come to airport and meet you there, you can be present for the inspection.

With Lissenhall they transport your pet to the facility and you must pick them up there after inspection.

Animal vet checks in Dublin

Upon arrival in Dublin from New York, the two options for having pet compliance checks are Lissenhall Veterinary Hospital and Vets Direct. Are there any advantages of one over the other ?

@jeanb, hey thanks for that update Jean. It's been a few years since I brought dogs to Ireland, but that is exactly how I had remembered it. I don't have a reason why, nor was never able to find one from a gov't source.

I've been researching the "cat in cabin" thing pretty hard. There are some airlines that will, in theory, allow cats in the cabin on transatlantic flights to Europe. The problem is that Ireland and the UK have their own regulations, which require pets to be below in the baggage hold. So while you could fly to most EU countries with your pet in the cabin, it won't work in Susan's case (or mine, darn it).

Really Pauline? That's great if that's the case. At least there'd be 1 option, albeit only for smaller animals. I didn't think it was allowed though... Looking forward to hearing more from you as you explore.

Susan, Delta into Dublin should let you take a small animal (check their website for restrictions and call them also) in an appropriate pet carrier (airline sets the guidance on appropriate) in something that fits under the seat.

We are in NJ right now and moving end Summer to Ireland.... 4 cats... 1 will come in cabin and 3 in cargo. I'm in the process of getting all the details and can share what I find.

We did 2 years in Switzerland and returned 5 years ago. In each instance we flew Swiss airlines and we could bring our cat (only had one then), in cabin, under the seat. We bought an extra seat and that way it was easier for my husband to reach down and talk to him... I managed the kids in a different row.

Try Delta. I know it's not possible with Aer Lingus, and I think United only does it domestically in the US. I'm also looking at other airlines.
Best, Pauline

Susan, the general advice for animals travelling by plane is not to give them any meds. Ask your vet.
