Traveling with Pets by Car: how it works in Belarus — first-hand

Short answer
Travelers between Russia and Belarus require a veterinary passport with up-to-date vaccinations for their pets. While land border checks are often minimal, train conductors may strictly enforce rules and require closed pet carriers.

From real experience

When traveling with pets (cats, dogs) between Russia and Belarus by ground transport, a veterinary passport with vaccination records is generally required.
While a microchip might not always be mandatory, it's advisable to confirm with your veterinary service. On the Russia-Belarus land border, health certificates are less frequently checked compared to other procedures. Train travel might involve stricter checks by conductors, and pet carriers should be closed. Ensure all vaccinations are up-to-date.
