Pet Passport Philippines
REGULATIONS FOR TAKING A PET DOG OR CAT TO THE
PHILIPPINES
The Philippine Islands are pet friendly, however their procedure is
a little different.
Your pet must be vaccinated for rabies and other diseases at least 30 days but not more than 12 months from the date of travel.
Within 30 days of travel, a USDA (or CFIA) accredited veterinarian must then complete the
Philippine Health Certificate for endorsement by the USDA or CFIA if traveling from the
United States or Canada. If you are not traveling from either of these countries,
the Governing Authority of your country should endorse the forms. A
copy of the Rabies Certificate should also be included.
Send or present the Health Certificate for endorsement of
Authenticity to any Philippine Consular Office three (3) weeks
before shipment. There is a fee per health certificate.
An Import Permit should be secured by application from the Bureau of Animal Industry.
A copy of the import permit should be faxed to the owner/importer.
It should be presented at the airport upon the arrival of the pet.
OR Upon arrival at the airport in Manila by presenting the endorsed
health certificate to the Quarantine Officer on duty, filing of the
required import permit and the payment of the corresponding fee.
Failure to comply with these regulations will mean that your pet may
be refused entry and the relevant authority in consultation
with an authorized veterinarian can decide to return the pet home, or place
the dog or cat in quarantine at the expense of the owner or natural person
responsible for pet, or as a last resort, without financial
compensation, put the pet down where the return trip home or
quarantine cannot be arranged.
All other pets (birds, invertebrates, tropical fish, reptiles,
amphibia, mammals such as rodents and rabbits) are not subject to
the regulations in respect of the anti-rabies vaccination but may
have to meet other requirements as to a limit on the number of
animals and a certificate to accompany them in respect of other
diseases. Pet owners are strongly advised to seek further information
from the relevant authority of their country and/or that of the
country of destination.
VETERINARY CERTIFICATE
All countries have a unique veterinary certificates. This form
differs from the International Veterinary Certificate issued by
veterinarians in the United States. (APHIS 7001) This is an important part of your cat or dog passport.
