Are you allowed to take animals into another country, or do they need a passport too?

No official passport as in the type humans need. They sometimes need a medical certificate that they are not carrying a disease and/or certification that they have specified shots, etc. Best to study up on this if you plan to take your pet along on vacation.

no, they usually will quarantine them to make sure they have no diseases

I believe, don't know, that it depends on the country. All countries have some type of medical exam and/or quarantine requirements(up to 6 months in some places) that need to be completed before the animal is allowed in. I have a friend that lived in Greece for several years and acquired a dog which he wanted to bring back to the States. He actually showed me a US Animal Passport for the dog. Most of it contained results of medical information, but it was a real US passport, complete with pictures and paw print. Another friend imported his sons 2 dogs from Germany./ Lots of paperwork, shots, and documents but no "official passport" that I know of.
