Pet Travel to a foreign country can be complex and time consuming. Before you start the process, you will need to know the type of animal traveling, the country of destination, the date of departure from the U.S., and whether or not the pet will be traveling alone, as cargo, or with a person in the cabin of the plane.
Steps involved in international pet travel:
- Determine when the pet will be traveling and what the country of destination will be.
- Work with the pet’s veterinarian to determine the destination country’s requirements, including any necessary vaccinations, tests, and/ or treatments. We recommend creating a schedule to make sure all requirements are met within the specified timeframes.
- Some countries may require:
- Timeframes that must be met for vaccinations, tests, and/ or treatments
- Import permits or other pre-travel approval
- Extensive pre-travel waiting periods
- If the destination country requires the pet’s health certificate to be endorsed (counter-signed and embossed/ stamped) by APHIS after it has been issued by a veterinarian, the veterinarian issuing the pet’s health certificate must be a USDAAccredited Veterinarian.
- Some countries may require:
- Have the pet’s veterinarian issue the health certificate within the validity period set by the destination country.
- The certificate validity period (time frame a certificate can be used for your pet to travel) will be stated in the health certificate or on the Pet Travel Website.
- To ensure there is time to complete the entire pre-travel process, APHIS recommends having the pet’s health certificate issued as soon as allowed per the destination country.
