Why does a dog passport matter?
A pet passport for dogs is an essential requirement that contains vital information. It includes your dog’s details, microchip ID, vaccination records, health information, import/export permits, and other important details.
When you have it completed, your dog can travel smoothly abroad. It verifies that your dog meets the entry requirements of the destination country, avoiding problems such as denial of entry, quarantine, or travel delays.
A 15-digit ISO-compliant microchip is implanted under your dog’s skin to provide permanent identification required for international travel.
The rabies vaccine must be administered at least 21 days before departure, with other vaccines for distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus also required.
Internal (Praziquantel) and external (Fipronil or Permethrin) parasite treatments must be administered within 14 days of travel.
The rabies titer test is required for dogs entering from high-risk countries and is verified by detecting antibodies at ≥0.5 IU/ml.
