With so many rules to follow, taking a pet to another country can be a difficult task. However, these regulations are important to ensure the safety and welfare of the animal, as well as to prevent the spread of disease in the country that will be the destination of the trip.
It is essential to understand the specific regulations and requirements that must be met in each country, thus ensuring a smooth and hassle-free transition for the traveler and their pet.
For Daniel Toledo, attorney practicing international law, founder of Toledo e Associados and partner at LeeToledo PLLC, relocating pets to the United States is a process that requires advance planning and attention to detail. The first step is to check the necessary requirements, which include health certificates, vaccinations, and in some cases quarantine. During the flight, the animals should be kept in a safe and comfortable transport box, with enough water and food for the entire flight. When they arrive at the destination, they will be screened by the immigration authorities and may be subject to additional checks,” he reveals.
The expert also warns of some prohibited strains in certain locations or even in some states. “Some very large dogs, such as pitbulls, are not allowed in many places in the North American country, whether it is hotels, homes or condominiums. For example, I resorted to a farm to leave my big dogs. Therefore, this point must be considered by the owners who want to bring their animals to the United States, without the risk of being surprised on arrival,” he points out.
Microchips are the starting point for any animal transfusion. This is the first step for anyone who wants to travel to the US with their dog, cat or other pet. It is important to keep in mind that no microchip will be accepted on US soil. It must be framed in ISO 11784 and ISO 11785, Recognized worldwide.In general, the procedure is performed by a veterinarian, during which a small identification chip is inserted into the back of the animal, serving as a document containing all the information of the pet and its owner,” according to the Toledo report.
According to the attorney, getting help from a company that specializes in this type of transportation may be the best way to go. “This is because these companies usually have experience and know what problems can arise. In addition, it is necessary to plan because from implantation of the microchip to the final report it can take some time. The veterinarian is aware of the necessary vaccinations and other obligations,” he concludes. that must be obeyed and that occur before, during and after the transportation of animals.”
