🟡 Recommended
Import permit Not required
No general import permit for pets from the EU named; import licence only for restricted breeds/hybrids and commercial imports.
🐾 Local rules (in-country)
These apply on the ground in the destination country — to everyone, not as an entry condition — and depend on the breed and situation (e.g. public transport, listed breeds).
Breed restrictions On site
Listed breeds/crosses (incl. American Bully incl. XL types, Pit Bull Terrier Type, Dogo Argentino, Cane Corso, Tosa Inu, Wolf Hybrid F1-4) cannot be imported without a licence; not an outright ban, a licence can be applied for.
⚠️ Notes & grey zone
Notes
Entry only via St Peter Port Harbour (Brittany Ferries) and La Villiaze airport (Aiglle/ASG hangars) with an approved carrier; non-compliance: up to 4 months quarantine or refusal. Page treats cats, dogs and ferrets together (tapeworm dogs only). No statement that the EU regime follows the GB regime: the page sets its own rules and uses GB terms ('part 1/part 2', GB pet health certificate) only for return travel.
