INTERNATIONAL PET TRAVEL - IT IS CHANGING

The rules, regulations for forms for international pet travel are changing.

The European Union started the trend in 2006, by firming up the rules for pets traveling to EU countries. In some cases they are more stringent, but at least they are more consistent.

One of the major changes was the requirement of an ISO microchip. This is a 15 digit microchip operating at 134.2 kHz that meets the ISO standards 11784/11785.

Presently, many other countries are adopting this same requirement, and, by the end of 2008, we expect that most countries will require this microchip for all dogs or cats entering their borders.

If you are traveling from the United States or Canada, both of which are considered countries with a low incidence of rabies, you can expect that you will be welcome to bring your pet along if you have an ISO microchip, and the specific veterinary health certificate for that country.

However, every day more countries are requiring the blood titre test, so you need to check each country's regulations carefully. The Turks & Caicos and the United Arab Emerites are recent additions to the list of countries requiring this test.

USDA certification. Virtually all countries now require that the forms for taking a pet into that country be certified by the State USDA veterinarian. (For Canadian pet travelers, the health certificate must be certified by the CFIA office in the region of Canada you are traveling from.)
