Lithuania does not require tapeworm treatment for dogs entering from abroad.
Routine deworming is strongly recommended due to rural and forested environments across the country.

Lithuania has no national breed bans.
However, powerful or protective breeds may be subject to leash and muzzle requirements while in public.
