[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're expats and have cats.  We absolutely use a service each time we move, and have taken two cats to live in multiple countries with us.

You need a service because:

1.  Every country has slightly different requirements.  Know that some countries, such as the UK, will require a blood titer test to show that the rabies antibodies are present, and the test needs to be done well in advance of the trip (there's a certain amount of time).  So start the process months ahead of time.

2.  The paperwork is a pain.  There will be a list of vaccinations the pet needs, and the service will know what is required for the specific country where you are going.  There will need to be some documents and stamps, depending on where you are and where you are going.  Just let the service arrange this.

3.  You aren't allowed to sedate the pet for the flight, so ignore what that other poster said.

4.  We take our cats in cabin whenever possible, but they had to fly in cargo a few times because some countries, such as the UK, will only allow dogs and cats to arrive from cargo.

5.  Many people will tell you to leave your pets behind because it is cruel to fly them to another country, but our cats were always fine.  They are loved family members and would find it much more distressing to be left behind.  Remember, most people themselves don't move to another country and can't fathom doing this, so don't listen to the naysayers.

6.  Some vet clinics have import departments, so see if you can find one of those.  That will make it easier.

I’m
The PP with friend using Bark airline to go to UK from here. Her dog will not be in cargo, she’ll be in the regular part of the plane. And she’s going to UK. So that part of your post isn’t true. [/quote]
