Dear PetRelocation,
What do we have to do to ensure our dog can come live with us in the United States (we'll probably be landing in California). Your information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Apollo
Hi Apollo,
Thanks for the question, we'd be happy to help. First, read over these basic pet travel tips in order to become acquainted with the essential logistical details, and then take a look at the pet import requirements for the United States.
To summarize, you'll need proof of an updated rabies vaccine and a health certificate, an airline-approved travel crate, and before you fly we recommend acclimating your dog to the crate as well as possible. We also suggest making an effort to choose a pet-friendly airline (we often use United, KLM, Lufthansa and British Airways).
Many people choose to hire professional assistance with an international pet move; if you're looking to explore this option, feel free to fill out our online consultation form.
Hopefully this helps to get you started! Just let us know if we can be of further assistance, and feel free to peruse our blog for pet travel stories and additional advice. Good luck and travel safely!
