Pets in the Netherlands
Can I bring my pet to the Netherlands?
Can I take my pet with me on the passenger's cabin?
Do I need to register my pet in the Netherlands? And are there any costs involved?

Should I clean up after my dog?
The Netherlands has opruimplicht (clean up after your dog) and there are fines for those who do not do so. Use a paper bag, a plastic bag or a special ‘pooper scooper’ available at pet shops, veterinarians and municipal offices. Be aware of more regulations on keeping pets within your municipality.
