Disclaimer

General information only

Everything published on Vimoty is general informational guidance about travelling internationally with dogs and cats. It is written to help you understand what is normally required and where the official rules can be found.

It is not tailored to your pet, your documents, your route or your airline, and it should not be treated as an instruction list for a specific journey.

Requirements change without notice

Entry requirements, health rules, document formats, accepted routes and airline pet policies can change at any time, including at short notice and during a trip that is already booked.

Pages on Vimoty show when the information was last reviewed. Between reviews, and even shortly after one, the underlying rules may have moved on.

Authorities and airlines decide

Government and veterinary authorities decide whether an animal may enter a country. Airlines decide whether an animal may be carried, in which cabin or hold, in what container, and under which conditions.

Their current published rules and their decisions at the time of travel always take precedence over anything you read here.

Please verify before you travel

• Confirm entry requirements with the competent authority for your destination, and with the authority in your country of departure.
• Confirm the pet transport rules, container specifications, deadlines and fees directly with your airline for your exact route and aircraft.
• Speak to a veterinarian about identification, vaccination, treatments, documents and your pet's fitness to travel.

No professional advice

Vimoty is not a government authority, an airline, a veterinary practice, a law firm or a pet relocation agency, and is not affiliated with any of them unless explicitly stated. Nothing on the site is veterinary, legal, official or relocation advice.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee entry to any country, acceptance for boarding or transport, acceptance of any document, or the accuracy, completeness or currency of the information published here.

To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for decisions taken, costs incurred or outcomes experienced on the basis of information found on this site.

Third-party links

We link to official and third-party resources so you can read requirements at their source. We do not control those pages and are not responsible for their content or availability.

Veterinary and emergency situations

If your pet is unwell, injured or in distress — before, during or after travel — contact a veterinarian or an emergency veterinary service immediately. Do not rely on this website in an urgent situation.
