Pet Transport to Vietnam: Requirements and Tips

1. Microchip: While not mandatory, we recommend microchipping your pet for identification. Ensure it meets ISO Standard 11784.

2. Rabies Vaccination and Certificate: Your pet must have a valid Rabies Certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian. The rabies vaccination must be administered at least 30 days before departure but within 360 days of travel.

3. Import Permit: An import permit is required if you are importing more than two pets. Our team at PetRelocation can assist in obtaining the permit, which takes about a week and is valid for 10 days.

4. Health Certificate (APHIS Form 7001): A standard Health Certificate issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian is required within 10 days of arrival in Vietnam.

5. USDA Endorsements: The Rabies Certificate and Health Certificate need USDA endorsements. Ensure they accompany your pet during travel.

ACCLIMATING YOUR PET TO THEIR TRAVEL CRATE

• Ensuring your pet is comfortable with their travel crate is essential for a positive travel experience. Avoid sedation and encourage crate acclimation through gradual training. Choose an airline-approved crate with adequate ventilation and space for your pet to move.

Preparing for Arrival in Vietnam

• Upon arrival in Vietnam, your pet will undergo a health check at the port of entry. Keep all endorsed documents readily available for inspection.
• Please note that Vietnam has restrictions on certain dog breeds, including Pit Bulls, Japanese Tosa, and Dogo Argentino. Check with the authorities before your move.
