Travel for Pets

Travel Requirements

Many people like to include the family pet when they travel, If you’re going to take your pet with you on holiday, some destinations will require a Pet Passport.

A Pet Passport is an essential document for pet travel; it contains your pet’s vital information such as vaccinations received, medical information, microchip details, picture of your pet, your contact details and details of the vet who issued the passport.

Though your pet’s vaccination records are mentioned in the health certificate and the pet passport, some countries require a vaccination certificate with proof of rabies and other vaccinations received by the pet. Most common vaccinations for dogs include Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza and Hepatitis. Standard cat vaccinations are Feline Enteritis, Rhinotracheitis, and Calicivirus. Some countries require additional vaccinations for diseases such as Leptospirosis, Canine Influenza Virus and Bordetella.
