Bringing them with you. Priced end to end.

Cargo vs cabin, country quarantine rules, vaccinations, and paperwork. The whole pet move, costed.

Every number is a public-range estimate that moves with your vet, your airline, and the destination's current rules. Treat it as the shape of the cost, then confirm the specifics for your route.

Plan about 4 months ahead. The rabies titer test sets a waiting window, often 3 months from a passing result, before your pet can enter.

Estimate, not advice. Numbers move with rules, rates, and your situation. Confirm anything that decides the move.

The order it happens
Run these in sequence. The chip has to come before the rabies shot, and the titer test before you book.
  1. 1Confirm a 15-digit ISO microchip is in place. It has to be readable before the rabies shot or the date will not count.
  2. 2Get a rabies vaccination on record after the chip, then keep the certificate. Most destinations want it given at least 21 days before travel.
  3. 3Have your vet draw blood for the FAVN rabies titer test and send it to an approved lab. A passing result starts the destination's waiting window.
  4. 4Check the destination's import rules for your pet and apply for any permit it asks for.
  5. 5Reserve the in-cabin pet spot when you book. Airlines cap how many fly per cabin, so do it the moment your flight is set.
  6. 6In the final 10 days, get the government-endorsed health certificate. For US or Canada departures that is the USDA or CFIA endorsement.
  7. 7Carry every original document at check-in: chip number, rabies record, titer result, permit, and the endorsed certificate.
