Relocating pets internationally can be a complicated process. There is a great deal to consider, including import and export documentation, veterinary procedures, timing, airline policies, travel crate requirements, the possibility of quarantine and custom's policies in your destination country.
There are many sources to find information regarding the specific country you are traveling to. Of course we have a complete database of requirements and are glad to help. However, you can also check with the consulate and the agriculture department in your destination country.
Below are the general questions you should seek answers to before shipping your pet:
* Are there any special restrictions for pets being imported into your country?
* What documents are required to import my pet?
* Are any special vaccinations or tests required for my pet?
* Are there specific country restrictions?
* Are there any special quarantine requirements for a pet being imported?
* Is there a way to avoid or minimize the qurantine?
* Are there any country/local holidays during or around the time of my planned trip?
* What airline will I use?
* How will my pet clear customs?
There are other nuances for each country, however the above list of questions is a good start. One word of caution, there is also a great deal of misinformation on the internet so it is always a good idea to double check with an independent source. We are always here to help, so please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
