Pet Passport and Pets
The pet passport has multiple forms which are in a small blur booklet or on a pink A4 sheet. The passport contains the tattoo number of the animal or a microchip. A certification too is included, which has information about the rabies vaccination, which is signed by a veterinary surgeon that is officially approved. People usually confuse the passport with a purple colored small folder which is a folder that has records of the pet’s complete vaccination history.
Some countries accept this passport alone, and others ask for supporting documentation relating to the procedure that needs to be followed. All the documents are checked at the time of boarding and upon arrival as well. The pet can only be transported as cargo or excess baggage and not as checked baggage.
There are different requirements for different countries. The rules also differ for the import and export of pets. But there are certain specifications which are common. The pet should have a microchip implant beneath the skin. The chip should be according to the ISOP specification. Also, there should be a rabies vaccination certification. And there should be proof that the vaccination is working, this can be done by taking a blood serology test, which shows that the pet is presently rabies free.
Some countries demand that the pet should be treated for fleas, tapeworms, and ticks. It should be done within 48 hours. The government certifications are documents which have information about the export of the animal. A letter should also be provided from the vet from whom they confirm the pet’s fitness for travelling. Each individual carrier also has their set of regulations about the export and import of the animal.
Before travelling, the owner should thoroughly research the regulations of the arrival and departure points. The destination’s government website should be checked out, because some countries ask for separate certificates for proof, to see whether the pet meets their requirements or not. The county’s consulate should also be contacted for details about the formal procedures. The travel crate should also be approved prior to the travel. The crate should have the appropriate food and water containers.
The owner can apply for the pet’s passport soon after it gets the vaccination certificate. If the rabies vaccination is out of date, the new vaccination must be given, but this will delay the passport procedure. In some cases, booster vaccination can also be given. While travelling, the pet shouldn’t be sedated, because heights can have an adverse affect on medication. Even most of the carriers do not allow sedated animals. The charges of every carrier vary on the type and size of the animal. Also, animals might not be taken by a particular route because of adverse temperatures that can risk the health of the animal. The authorized travel route must be taken in this case.
If the required documents are missing the pet will be refused entry o the owner will be asked to put the pet for at least six months in quarantine.
