Pet Passport and Documentation for Moving Your Pets OverseasYour will need to get their passport well in advance – this includes a description of your pet, your details as their owner, their health status, details of their vaccinations and treatments, and more.
How are pets transported on long flights?
A pet may be transported as baggage if accompanied on the same flight to the same destination. Some air carriers may impose a special fee or “excess baggage” charge for this service. Pets may be shipped as cargo if unaccompanied, and many airline cargo departments employ specialists in the movement of animals.
Can you fly internationally with pets?
Can I fly my dog to Europe?
Some countries have different requirements (for example, England requires that your dog receive tapeworm treatment from a veterinarian in the days before your arrival), but any country in Europe is going to require two things: an EU Health Certificate and a working microchip.
Do pets go through customs?
Importations of pets and/or wildlife may be subject to state/municipality veterinary health regulations, federal quarantine, agriculture, wildlife, and customs requirements and/or prohibitions. Pets taken out of the U.S. and returned, may be subject to similar requirements as those entering for the first time.
