Who Nomad is for
For pet parents

They are coming with you. The timing is the only hard part.

There was never a version of this where you left them behind. So the real question is not whether your dog or cat comes. It is whether you get the sequence right, because pet import is the one part of moving abroad that punishes good intentions with bad timing. A titer test booked a few weeks too late, a rabies shot in the wrong window, an airline that quietly will not take your breed, and a simple move becomes quarantine, a missed flight, or worse. That clock is exactly what a plan exists to manage.

How it helps

How Nomad helps pet parents move

Bringing a pet abroad is almost entirely a sequencing problem. The microchip, the rabies vaccination, the blood titer test, the airline booking, and the destination's import rules each have a deadline, and they depend on each other. Your plan turns that into a single dated countdown.

The import rules for your exact destination, not a generic checklist

Every country has its own pet-import rulebook, and some have waiting periods that start months before departure. Your plan pulls the requirements for where you are going and flags the ones with long lead times first, so you start the clock early enough instead of discovering a four-month wait four weeks out.

Microchip, vaccinations, and titer test in the order they have to happen

These steps only count if they are done in sequence: the microchip before the rabies shot, the rabies shot before the blood titer test, the titer drawn after the right interval. Get the order wrong and the clock resets. Your plan sequences each step with its own date so your pet is cleared to travel on time, not stuck repeating a test.

An airline and route that will actually take your pet

Airlines differ sharply on which pets fly in-cabin, which go as cargo, breed restrictions, and seasonal temperature embargoes. Your plan flags the airlines and routes that fit your pet and your destination, which means you book a flight you can actually fly instead of canceling at the counter.

A vet at the other end before you land

Your plan helps you line up care at the destination and carry records, prescriptions, and food transitions across the move, so the first time your pet needs a vet abroad you already have one. The meaning: your companion settles in as smoothly as you do.

One countdown instead of five separate worries

The paperwork, the jabs, the titer, the flight, and the arrival rules all hang on one shared timeline. Your plan puts them on a single countdown sequenced backward from your flight, so you always know the next thing to book and the move never stalls on a missed window.

Can I bring my dog or cat when I move abroad?
Almost always, yes. The hard part is never whether, it is the timing. Most countries require a microchip, an up-to-date rabies vaccination, and often a blood titer test done in a specific order with waiting periods between them. Your plan sequences each step with dates so your pet is cleared to travel when you are.
How early do I need to start the pet paperwork?
Earlier than feels necessary. Some destinations require a rabies titer test drawn weeks after vaccination, followed by a waiting period that can run several months before entry is allowed. Your plan flags the long-lead requirements first so you start the clock in time rather than getting trapped by a waiting period you did not know existed.
What is a rabies titer test and why does the timing matter?
It is a blood test that proves the rabies vaccination produced enough immunity, and many countries require it for entry. It only counts if drawn the right interval after vaccination, and some destinations then impose a waiting period before your pet can enter. Miss the window and the clock can reset, which is exactly the mistake your plan is built to prevent.
Will the airline actually let my pet fly?
It depends on the airline, the size and breed of your pet, the route, and even the season, since some carriers embargo pets during temperature extremes. Your plan flags the airlines and routes that fit your specific pet and destination so you book a flight you can actually take, not one you cancel at check-in.
How do I find a vet and pet care at my destination?
Your plan helps you line up care before you arrive and carry your pet's records, prescriptions, and food across the move so there is no gap. That way the first time your pet needs a vet abroad, you already know where to go.
