Dog Shipping to Argentina

Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country in South America, constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city. It is the second largest country in South America by land area, and eighth in the world. It is also a wonderful place for pets!


The basic requirements for getting there are as follows:

1) Microchip: While a microchip is not required, it is recommended.

2) Rabies Vaccination: Each pet must have a valid rabies shot between 30 days and a year old as of the date of Travel.

3) Health Certificate (APHIS Form 7001)– This is the standard Health Certificate carried by most vets. NOTE: For Argentina, it must also be translated into Spanish and have very specific language. Please be sure to check with your Personal Move Counselor to confirm the appropriate wording. This Health Certificate must be issued within 10 days of arrival.

4) USDA Endorsement: The above document must be endorsed by the USDA. Your Personal Move Counselor will give you the appropriate address and fees.

As with most foreign destinations, we recommend you allow us to arrange custom's clearance for you so your 4 legged friends can zip off the plane and head to the local cantina with you!

Actually a question...
Where in the aircraft does the dog travel and is it the same flight as the owners, if they're planning a six months stay?
