Planning to travel to the US with your dog? Ensure compliance with entry requirements. Our article guides you through the necessary preparations for a smooth journey.

1. Before booking tickets, check the pet entry requirements for the US. The USDA regulates importation, and strict compliance is essential for dogs and other animals. For example, your dog must have a valid rabies vaccination certificate, be at least 12 weeks old, and have a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian.
2. Choose the right airline and cabin When traveling with your dog, you need to choose the right airline and cabin that allows pets. Not all airlines allow pets, and those that do have specific rules and regulations that you must follow. Some airlines allow pets in the cabin, while others require them to travel in the cargo hold. If your dog is small enough to fit under the seat in front of you, you can take them in the cabin, but if they’re too big, they’ll have to travel in the cargo hold.
3. Get your dog crate Your dog will need a crate to travel in, whether in the cabin or cargo hold. The crate should be large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. It should also have a secure door, ventilation, and be labeled with your contact information and your dog’s name. You should also provide a familiar blanket, toy, and water bowl to make your dog feel more comfortable.
4. Plan for potty breaks and exercise during travel. Cargo-held dogs won’t have access to water or breaks, so ensure hydration and a potty break pre-flight. Cabin-traveling dogs may have access to pet relief areas during layovers. Prioritize your dog’s comfort and needs throughout the journey.
5. Remember to bring essential documents and supplies for your dog: health certificate, vaccination records, medication, food, water, treats, leash, collar, and identification tags.

Traveling internationally with your dog can be a fantastic experience, but it requires careful planning and preparation. From obtaining the necessary documents to ensuring your dog’s safety and comfort during the journey, there are several things you need to consider before embarking on an international trip with your furry friend. In this article, we’ll go over what you need and should do when traveling internationally with your dog.

Keep in Mind:

1. Check the entry requirements: Check entry requirements before traveling abroad with your dog to ensure compliance with the destination country’s regulations. Comply with international pet regulations to avoid denial of entry or quarantine for your dog while traveling. Some countries may require a specific type of health certificate or vaccination records, while others may require additional testing or quarantine periods.
2. When traveling with your dog, select an airline and cabin that permits pets, following their regulations. Consider flight duration, layovers, and destination climate to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
3. Get your dog crate Your dog will need a crate to travel in, whether in the cabin or cargo hold. The crate should be large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. It should also have a secure door, ventilation, and be labeled with your contact information and your dog’s name. You should also provide a familiar blanket, toy, and water bowl to make your dog feel more comfortable.
4. Plan for potty breaks and exercise Traveling can be stressful for dogs, and they may need more frequent potty breaks and exercise. If your dog is traveling in the cargo hold, they won’t have access to water or a potty break during the flight. Therefore, you should ensure that your dog is well hydrated and has had a potty break before the flight. If your dog is traveling in the cabin, you may be able to take them to the designated pet relief area during layovers.
5. Pack essential documents (health certificate, vaccination records), Mojo supplements, food, water, treats, leash, collar, ID tags. Research local veterinarians and emergency pet hospitals at your destination.
