Information about Traveling with a Pet
Vienna is a pet friendly city, especially for dogs. If you want to bring a pet with you to Vienna, it may be possible. A great resource for details about traveling with pets is PetTravel.com Worldwide Travel Guide for Pet Owners.
There are "pet passport" forms and "airline forms" which will require appointments with a veterinarian. Travel rules, forms, and requirements vary depending on the origin and destination countries but are fairly standardized these days. For most situations the forms are available at PetTravel.com and are also often available from your vet.
