But before the transportation of your pet, you need to know and be aware of the needed requirements and documents.

Needed Requirements and Documents for Pet Travels

Here are some of the essential requirements and documents you should prepare for your international pet travels.

1. International Health Certificate
   One of the essential requirements and documents you need to prepare for your pet’s international travel is an international health certificate. This certificate must be completed within a specific time frame (usually within 10 days) before your arrival date. Any other paperwork required by the destination country must also be accomplished.
2. Rabies Vaccinations Certificate
   Another significant requirement needed when you are transporting your pet internationally is a valid rabies vaccination. To confirm that the rabies vaccination is valid, the vaccination must have been given no more than one year and no less than 30 days before the intended travel date. To ensure that there won’t be any problems on the day of your travel, make sure to check your pet’s vaccination certificate in good time.
3. A Microchip
   The next crucial requirement needed to transport your beloved pet internationally is a microchip. A microchip is a permanent form of identification that many countries require to ensure that the pet being brought in is the same one specified in the paperwork. Take note that some countries require the microchip to be given before the rabies vaccine.

   Additionally, some places require a different microchip than the one your pet already has, in which case they must have two microchips. To ensure successful and safe worldwide pet transportation services in NYC, choose Pet Chauffeur as your transportation partner.

4. Normal Canine and Feline Vaccinations
   Another important requirement and document that your pet needs when traveling internationally is the normal canine and feline vaccination certificates. Since veterinary authorities are mainly concerned that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current, it is significant that your pets receive these vaccinations annually and are updated when necessary.

   Moreover, valid vaccination certificates are essential when your pet is boarding. All reputable kennels would insist you meet these requirements when traveling with your pet.

5. Blood Titer Tests
   If you are planning to move or go to a rabies-free country with your beloved pet, make sure to prepare blood titer test results for your pet. The result or certification for the blood titer test should be within a certain time frame before your travel. Furthermore, take note and remember that some other countries also require additional infectious disease tests, so make sure to prepare those.

How to choose the best airline for your pet?

When picking an airline to make the reservation, the first choice is to pick an airline that has a direct flight for international travels. Considering all international flights have a holding time of 4 hours before departure and usually takes anywhere from an hour to 4 hours to clear customs in addition to the travel time on the plane. In the USA, there are 3 major airlines that fly internationally: American, Delta and United. If there are direct flights that require a certified broker through an IPATA agent (link to IPATA profile), you can find a reputable company in the link provided.
