Documentation requirements vary by country, but typically include up-to-date vaccinations, an internationally certified health certificate, and in some cases, an import permit. We will guide you through the specific requirements for your pet’s origin and destination.
Certain countries restrict the importation of specific breeds. If your pet’s breed appears on a restricted list, we will inform you and assist in exploring possible waivers, permits, or alternatives to accommodate your relocation plans.
