The best advice that any veterinarian might give is simply to avoid, if possible, traveling abroad with your pet. Even with careful planning, traveling with a pet can be difficult. A pet traveling abroad can become separated from its owners or face a lengthy quarantine period. Even worse, the pet can acquire an unfamiliar disease or parasite. The danger of bringing these “uninvited guests” back into the US or other home country is a constant concern. For this reason, most countries have developed complex restrictions for the introduction (or reintroduction) of animals, animal products, and contaminated articles to prevent exotic infections from entering the country.</span></p><p class="TopicPara_topicGHeadSectionWithoutScroll__gglfx readable TopicPara_topicPara__U9gFm para" id="v3241701" data-testid="topicPara"><span data-testid="topicText" class="TopicPara_topicText__CUB0d">Some data show that during international trips, travelers from the US spent an average of 18 nights outside the country. For short trips such as these, the duration of overseas travel is far shorter than the length of the pet quarantine period often required by foreign countries. Thus, it makes sense that for short trips, pets should usually remain at home. The situation is far different for citizens temporarily residing outside of the country (for example, military personnel, consular personnel, missionaries, or expatriates). These citizens sometimes live outside of the US for months or years—and they often own dogs or cats that were either acquired in the US and transported to that foreign country or acquired in the foreign country.</span></p><p class="TopicPara_topicGHeadSectionWithoutScroll__gglfx readable TopicPara_topicPara__U9gFm para" id="v3241702" data-testid="topicPara"><span data-testid="topicText" class="TopicPara_topicText__CUB0d">If you decide to travel internationally with your pet, you should contact the embassy or consulate of the nation(s) to which you will be traveling to ensure that all necessary import requirements have been fulfilled and that the quarantine requirements (if any) are clearly understood. This should be done at least 9 months in advance of travel. Embassies are usually located in large metropolitan areas, such as New York City, Los Angeles, or Washington, DC.
