Every country has its own requirements, and most don’t care that you booked the flight 30 days out. Start early. We’ll tell you exactly what bloodwork, microchip, rabies titer, and USDA endorsement your destination needs — and which timelines you cannot compress.
We review destination requirements, verify microchip status, check rabies titer eligibility, and build your paperwork timeline. Some countries require blood draws 90+ days out.
Rabies titer (FAVN) test results take up to 4 weeks from an approved lab. Required for EU, UK, Japan, Singapore, and other high-restriction destinations. Cannot be rushed.
The APHIS 7001 health certificate is valid for only 10 days for most destinations. The exam must occur within that window. We complete and submit the USDA VEHCS endorsement at the same time.
You travel with a complete packet: health certificate, USDA-endorsed documents, rabies certificate, microchip record, and destination-specific forms. We prepare and review everything before you leave.
Most US states require a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) issued within 10 days of travel. Requirements vary by state and species. Airlines may have additional documentation requirements beyond state law.
Canada and Mexico have straightforward entry requirements for dogs and cats with current rabies vaccination and a health certificate. Lead times are manageable with 2–3 weeks’ notice for most cases.
EU entry requires an ISO microchip, rabies vaccination, FAVN titer test with results of at least 0.5 IU/mL from an approved laboratory, and an EU-format health certificate with USDA endorsement. The UK has additional post-Brexit requirements and longer lead times. Plan at least 90 days out.
Japan and Singapore have some of the most stringent pet entry protocols in the world — mandatory titer testing, advance import permits, and in some cases facility quarantine on arrival. Begin planning 6+ months before travel if possible. We help you navigate the full process and connect with destination country contacts when needed.
Australia and New Zealand maintain some of the most restrictive biosecurity rules globally. Both require advance import permits, approved laboratory titer tests, specified vaccination sequences, and mandatory quarantine on arrival. Begin at least 6–12 months before travel — some steps cannot be accelerated regardless of urgency.
