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.

What we offer for your dog’s pet passport

Microchipping

A 15-digit ISO-compliant microchip is implanted under your dog’s skin to provide permanent identification required for international travel.

Rabies and Core Vaccinations

The rabies vaccine must be administered at least 21 days before departure, with other vaccines for distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus also required.

Parasite Treatments

Internal (Praziquantel) and external (Fipronil or Permethrin) parasite treatments must be administered within 14 days of travel.

Rabies Titer Test

The rabies titer test is required for dogs entering from high-risk countries and is verified by detecting antibodies at ≥0.5 IU/ml.

Vet Health Certificate

An official certificate issued by our licensed vets confirming that your dog has completed its routine treatments and is fit for travel.

Assistance With Documents

We help you throughout the entire process, especially with the documents you need with approvals from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment.
