Travel and entry requirements

These are European Union pet travel rules, which apply on the way to Monaco through France, not kennel club rules. What applies depends on the country the dog travels from. For every group: up to 5 dogs per trip. More are allowed only for a show, competition or sporting event, with written proof that the dogs are entered, and all dogs over 6 months old. Monaco is reached through France, so a dog from outside the EU meets the EU rules first. We have not yet found a Monaco government page on pet travel. To be confirmed Source: European Commission and GOV.UK, accessed 3 Nov 2026. Rules change, so check again before every trip.

Arriving from an EU countryGovernment travel rule

For example France or Germany. We have not yet found a Monaco government page on pet travel. The EU lists Monaco with the countries that use a pet passport and need no travellers' point of entry, so these rows follow the EU rules.

Microchip
Microchip, fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination (otherwise the dog must be vaccinated again). A clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011 is also accepted. To be confirmed
Rabies
Valid rabies vaccination, given at 12 weeks or older and not before the microchip. The first vaccination is valid after 21 days. A booster given before the last one runs out keeps cover with no wait. To be confirmed
Titre test
Not required. To be confirmed
Document
EU pet passport. To be confirmed
Pre-notice
Not stated.

Arriving from Great BritainGovernment travel rule

England, Scotland and Wales. You reach Monaco through France, so you enter the EU first and its rules apply.

Microchip
Microchip, fitted before or on the same day as the rabies vaccination (otherwise the dog must be vaccinated again). A clearly readable tattoo applied before 3 July 2011 is also accepted.
Rabies
Valid rabies vaccination, given at 12 weeks or older and not before the microchip. The first vaccination is valid after 21 days. A booster given before the last one runs out keeps cover with no wait.
Titre test
Not required. Great Britain is on the EU list of non-EU countries that need no titre test.
Document
EU animal health certificate, issued by an official vet (or an authorised vet, endorsed by the authorities) in the country you leave, plus your signed declaration that the trip is not commercial (no sale or change of owner). It is valid for 10 days from issue until the check at the first EU point of entry (longer by the length of a sea crossing), then for up to 6 months for travel between EU countries, or until the rabies vaccination runs out if that is sooner. A dog living in Great Britain cannot use a pet passport, even one issued in the EU. The certificate covers the onward drive through France to Monaco. You need a new certificate for each trip.
Confirmed
Confirmed by Julia, 3 Nov 2026: the UK animal health certificate covers a dog arriving in Monaco through France or Italy.
Tapeworm
Not required under EU rules for France or Italy.
Entry point
Your first stop in the EU (for example in France) must be a travellers' point of entry, where the dog and papers are checked.
Pre-notice
Not stated.
Going home
Back to Great Britain: tapeworm treatment by a vet 24 to 120 hours (1 to 5 days) before you arrive, unless you come straight from Finland, Ireland, Malta, Norway or Northern Ireland. Treat again within 28 days of getting home.

Shows in Monaco in 2025 where the CACM (national certificate) can be won

Every show in 2025 in our show database where the CACM towards the Monaco title can be won: international (CACIB) shows, which also award the CACM. Shows on two or three days in a row at the same place are one row. We have no 2026 Cairn counts yet, so this shows 2025, the latest year with counts. 1 of 1 event in 2025 has a Cairn count. Every CACIB show day also awards the CACM, so there are 1 chances in 2026: 1 CACIB days plus 0 national-only days.

2026 onlyAll figures and shows below are for this year. Earlier years are not included.

Counts come from our show database (published results and catalogues). Every show in an event that awards the CACM is one chance to win it. For an event with several shows, the bar and the figures above use the highest Cairn entry of any show in that event. The CACIB (international certificate) appears only as a label on each row. We have not yet checked the national show calendar of Monaco Kennel Club, so national or club shows that award the CACM may be missing. Fewer entries can mean less competition, but numbers are only one part of the picture.
