Common Compliance Questions
Most countries require an ISO 11784/11785 microchip, valid rabies vaccination certificate, and an official health certificate issued within 10 days of travel. Specific countries like Australia and Japan require rabies titer tests 180 days in advance.
For most EU and UK destinations, start 1 month prior. For high-rabies countries entering Australia, Japan, or New Zealand, start 7 months prior due to titer test waiting periods.
Cabin travel is restricted on most international long-haul flights. Pets usually travel as manifest cargo or checked baggage. Always verify with the specific airline policy before booking.
The EU Pet Passport is not valid for entry into the USA. You must obtain a USDA-endorsed health certificate within 10 days of travel regardless of passport status.
