Pet Relocation
A pet moving into Switzerland needs an EU-format pet passport or an equivalent health certificate, a microchip implanted before the rabies vaccination and not after, or the vaccination doesn't count, and precise timing between that vaccination and travel, so this has to be planned months out rather than the week before you fly. A pet relocation service worth using has actually cleared Swiss and airline requirements before, not just generic rules, and can tell you which airlines handle animals well versus badly. Ask about quarantine risk if paperwork is even slightly wrong, what happens if a flight is delayed with a pet already checked in, and whether they handle the cantonal dog registration and tax some cantons require.
