The most common problem when shipping your pet overseas is not having the correct health care documentation completed before your arrival. Every country has its own set of regulations concerning pet transportation and these regulations can change frequently. Airlines also have specific crate requirements depending on the size and breed of your pet. Hiring a professional pet shipper can minimize the stress of preparing to ship your pet overseas and help to answer questions that you may not have known the questions for.
Instructions
1. Contact your veterinarian to get a complete medical history record for your pet to provide to the pet shipper. This information can avoid unnecessary tests and exams if they have already been completed.
2. Locate a pet shipper by typing in your the airport code of the airline that you plan to use, the country that you would like to ship your pet to, the services that you will be requiring, the state that you will be shipping your pet from and breed information about your pet.
3. Contact more than one pet shipper to compare prices for their services. Pet shipping is generally expensive. Plan ahead by organizing your finances to prepare for shipping costs, quarantine fees (if applicable), duty costs, boarding fees, crate rental fees and travel tickets.
4. Collect personal items from home that will help comfort your pet during transport, such as blankets, old clothes, or old shoes that carry your scent on them. This will help to calm your pet during travel.
