Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about pet documentation for international travel
How far in advance should I start the documentation process?
We recommend starting the documentation process at least 3-4 months before your planned travel date. Some countries have lengthy application processes, and certain vaccinations may need to be administered within specific timeframes.
What happens if documentation requirements change during the process?
Our team continuously monitors for any changes in import regulations or documentation requirements. If changes occur during your pet's transport preparation, we immediately adjust our process to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
Do I need to work with a specific veterinarian?
For some countries, you may need to work with a USDA-accredited veterinarian or equivalent in your country. We can help you find an appropriate veterinarian if needed, or work with your current vet if they meet the necessary requirements.
What if my pet's documentation is rejected?
While our thorough process minimizes the risk of rejection, if any issues arise, our team immediately addresses them. We have established relationships with regulatory authorities and can often expedite corrections or resubmissions.
