Hi PetRelocation,

I need help I am emigrating to the USA next year and really need to find out how to take my two small dogs. My new employees are happy for me to bring my dogs but I don't know what kind of certificates, etc. I will need or what type of vaccinations.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

Sure, we'd be happy to offer some information. The good news is that, compared to many other countries, the United States has pretty simple and straightforward pet import rules. You can take a look at them here; essentially you'll need health certificates and proof of updated rabies vaccines.

If you've never traveled with pets before, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with a few basic good practices. It's important to choose a pet-friendly airline (we often use British Airways for pets going between the US and the UK), and you'll want to help your dogs grow accustomed to their travel crates if they're not already. Hydration is also key.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or if you'd like to find out more about our door-to-door services. We'd be happy to help you carry out your move.

Good luck with everything, and congrats on the new job!
