Information:
Ideally, your pet should be transported in the same aircraft as you. If you let us know in advance we may be able to arrange authorizations, documentation, and reservations so that you may travel together. As each airline company has its own rules, you should start the booking process ideally 3 months in advance, but at least 2 weeks before.
Each country has its own rules and the basic documentation required is the following:
- Microchip
- Passport
- Vaccines
- Specific blood tests performed by an accredited laboratory (RNATT)
- Medical records
- Export and Import permit, which generally have a shelf life
Veterinary requirements for your pet’s journey can vary significantly depending on the destination country. Navigating these regulations can be complex, but we simplify the process by providing veterinary services directly at your home.
Some countries require that the animal remains in quarantine for a certain number of days and at specific locations, whereas other countries allow the isolation to be carried out at home.
The travel crate for transporting your pet has to meet specific standards following the rules imposed by IATA (International Air Transport Association), so you should not purchase one without consulting us first.
To ensure your pet’s comfort, we recommend leaving a piece of clothing with your scent or a familiar blanket inside the travel crate. It is also important to properly label the crate and confirm with your veterinarian that your pet meets all the necessary health requirements for travel.
In rare situations, the flight on which your pet is traveling may be canceled. You will be immediately informed of the situation, but do not worry. The Global Pets team will take care of your pets as one of their own until the flight is re-scheduled.
At Global Pets, we understand the importance of safe and comfortable transportation for your pet. Our team is available to provide full support throughout the preparation process.
We will assess your needs and deliver the best possible service, ensuring a smooth and secure journey for your companion.
