Why does it take so long to get the needed items for traveling internationally with a dog/cat?

Due to each country's specific requirements, timing for travel planning will vary.


Factors that can play into the timeline include:

  • Does the destination country require the pet to have an import permit?

  • Is a microchip required?

  • Do required treatments, tests, or vaccines need to be given after the microchip was implanted?

  • Does the destination country require vaccinations, treatments, or laboratory tests to be given or performed?

  • Is there a time frame that the vaccinations, treatments or test have to be performed within?

  • Is there a waiting period after the vaccinations, treatments, or laboratory tests has been performed?

  • Is there a specific type of vaccine, treatment or test that must be used?
