Hi all,

I will stay in Romania for at least 1 month, and will bring my cat. I always store enough food for a few weeks, or even months. Naturally, it contains meat. It is still in its original packaging from the store, bought in Switzerland. We travel by car through Germany, Austria, Hungary, then Romania. Does anyone know if it is OK to bring her cat food?

Yes. As long as it's purchased in the EU no problem. You can buy most well know brands here though.

Move abroad with your pet

Ensure reliable and comfortable transport for your pet.

Just realised I'm wrong. You can only bring pet food into the EU from Switzerland in it's original packaging for medical reasons with an exemption certificate. Buy more once you get into the EU.
