International travel with pets can be both exciting and stressful for you and your pet. Planning in advance of your trip is vital to prevent delays. With some countries, it could take 3-6 months to complete the process of importing your pet. Since there is a great deal of variation among countries as to what is required, it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to know what those requirements are.
