Country Regulations

Our pet’s Country Requirements pages contain general information on the requirements for pet travel to give you an idea of the steps that lay ahead.

Contact us a few months before your pet’s intended travel date to avoid delays and disappointments in your pet’s shipment. Some countries require 7 months of preparations before your pet can fly.

It is important to understand those country requirements can and do change from time to time. Changes to country requirements can happen overnight, without any warning. Due to the many shipments, we undertake to all the major international destinations and our strong business ties with IPATA agents worldwide we generally have access to the most recent regulations which we can pass on to you before you take your pet for any vaccinations or blood tests.

When it comes to Country requirements please trust your Pet travel specialist. Many other professionals e.g. your vet, may have some knowledge, but not necessarily the most up to date information, and try to advise accordingly. Should you hear or be presented with any information that conflicts with the information given to you by your Pet Travel Consultant please contact us immediately.

Ultimately we are responsible for your pet's wellbeing and, as the professionals you trust, are dedicated to reuniting your family as easily and as stress-free as possible.
