TRANSPORTING EXPORTING A DOG OR A CAT

Most frequently asked questions during the exporting process!

1 Q: What do I need to do to send my dog/cat overseas?

A: You first need to contact the Government of the country you want your dog/cat to go to and ask if you need to apply for an import permit or if there are any other requirements needed.

2 Q: How soon can I make a booking to fly my Dog/Cat?A: Normally the airlines will accept bookings approximately two weeks before the date you need your dog /cat to fly. We recommen not delaying your booking to last moment.

3 Q: What happens if I need to leave Argentina urgently? Can you look after my Dog/Cat before you send them to where I go?

A: Yes, we can offer domestic boarding for your Dog/Cat before sending to your country. We have an on site vet who can do any vaccinations required for. Please check that your dog/cat vaccinations are up to date. If you want to know what vaccinations are required please contact us.

4 Q: When should I purchase the crate for my Dog/Cat?

A: We would suggest you purchase the crate approximately one month before flying, to get your Dog/Cat used to it, so on the day of flying it is not totally unfamiliar. You will find that if you just put the Dog/Cat in the crate on the day of flying they will be very upset and frightened.

5 Q: Should I tranquilize my Dog/Cat before flying?
A: We do not recommend that you tranquilize your dog / cat before travel. If you feel your dog/cat needs to be calmed down then you could use a natural alternative.

6 Q: What can I do to prepare my Dog/Cat for travel?

A: You can help prepare your Dog/Cat for travel by slowly introducing them to strange environments (especially dogs). For example: go near wherever there is a lot of activity and loud noise. If you can make your dog/cat familiar with his/her travel crate by feeding them inside it, as well as slowly getting him/her to sleep in it, then when the big day comes they will not stress so much.

7 Q: I know you do grooming can you cut my dog's hair before leaving?

A: Yes we can We have on site Master Groomer that will bath and provide haircut to meet your pets’ needs.

8 Q: What size Travel crate will my Dog/Cat need?

A: The travel crate must be large enough for your Dog/Cat to be able to stand completely upright, turn around and lie down.

9 Q: How do I measure my Dog/Cat for the travel crate?

A: Measure your dog from the top of the head to the when standing up straight. Then you should measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail (top of the bottom), and across the chest. Cats do not normally need to be measured, unless exceptionally large. Please also tell us the weight of your dog/cat. If you give us the wrong measurements and the crate is too small for your dog/cat then you will need to pay more money as the airline charges by VOLUME METRIC WEIGHT and the new bigger crate will increase your airfare. IF YOU ARE GIVEN A QUOTE BY ANOTHER SHIPPER AND YOU WISH TO COMPARE WITH OUR QUOTE PLEASE CHECK THEY HAVE QUOTED YOU USING THE SAME CRATE SIZE AS US.


10 Q: Can I provide my own travel crate?
A: Yes you can provide your own travel crate and this will reduce the quote, but it must be International Air Transport Association approved. If we provide the travel crate, we can be sure it is airline approved and of adequate size, with suitable water bowl, funnel and labels attached.

11 Q: What vaccinations are required?
A: In addition to the vaccinations that may be required by the Government of the country your Dog/Cat will be entering; you will also need to ensure your annual vaccinations are up-to-date. Please note: a Rabies vaccination may also be required. All reputable Kennels will insist on these vaccinations in case your dog/cat needs to board overnight or has to stay in a transit facility overseas.

12 Q: Does my Dog/Cat need to have a Rabies vaccination before going to another country?
A: All countries are different and a Rabies vaccination is not required for entry into all. When you have the Import Health Standards for the country you are moving to, it will state whether you need a Rabies vaccination or not.

13 Q: What should I put in the crate for my Dog/Cat?

A: You will need to put something of yours in the crate for example a towel or a T-shirt that has your smell on it. Another good idea is to put a chew toy which can keep your Dog/Cat busy on their long journey. We will put in the newspaper and ensure there are two water bowls, a funnel and appropriate labels which meet the airline regulations.

14 Q: Can you put the choker chain, collar and lead in the crate with my dog/cat?
A: For safety reasons never leave a lead, harness or collar on your Dog/Cat when they are travelling.

15 Q: How can I collect my Dog/Cat?
A: We will give you an Airway Bill Number which becomes your dog/cat's ticket number. On arrival into the country you are travelling to, ask someone to direct you to the Cargo section of the airline you have used, or their agent in that country. They will ask you to give them the Air Way Bill number, and to clear Customs for your Dog/Cat. They will charge you for doing this. Make sure you collect all documentation including vaccination cards when you pick up your dog/cat in case you need to travel overseas again.

We can arrange for a pet shipper in the country you are going to, to clear Customs and pick up your dog/cat for you, which will take the stress off.

On Aug, 28th, on a flight from Miami to San Francisco, United airlines killed my 2.5 year old Mastiff, BamBam

The following sad story was publish on Facebook:

On Aug, 28th, '12, on a flight from Miami to San Francisco, United airlines killed my 2.5 year old Mastiff, BamBam. United’s “Pet Safe” program guarantees that your pet will be in an acclimated, a/c equipped cargo facility or Pet Safe van to and from the plane. All other airlines require a Certificate of Acclimation to fly, only United does not because of Pet Safe. On the day we flew, no other airline would have allowed us to fly because of the extreme temperatures in Miami AND in Houston, only United because of their program and their guarantee that pets remain in an air conditioned environment at all times. Cargo facilities, vans to and from the plane, the cargo hold. They broke every promise they made to us.

We had a 3+ hour layover in Houston. Again, we could have flown an airline with a direct flight, but none of them offer the security, or guarantee of constant a/c that United offers. This is of paramount importance for a giant breed such as a Neapolitan Mastiff. After being seated in Houston for the San Francisco leg of our journey, watching out the window for the Pet Safe van, BamBam arrived on an metal closed sided luggage cart, not a van, looking hotter than we had ever seen him. My boy who was used to Miami temperatures. It was 97 in Houston on the tarmac that day. Outraged at the lack of a van and how hot he looked, but assuming he would cool down once inside the plane, and the airplane doors already locked, we watched them load him and we took off to San Francisco. Never, not once did it occur to me that he had been in that condition for close to four hours, since we landed in Houston.

BamBam was dead on arrival. My beautiful baby boy. We were told he must be sent back to Houston for an autopsy, and so began four dreadful weeks of corporate America denying responsibility, non information, ridiculous necropsy interpretations and insulting offers. Eventually United offered us a return of his flight costs, the cost of his necropsy/cremation and travel vouchers.

We have since found out from United employees that at no time in Houston was BamBam ever in a/c. He was removed from the plane, set under the wing on the tarmac until a luggage cart came for him. He was then transferred to a “USDA approved holding area with a cross breeze from open windows and fans” instead of the cargo area with a/c as promised. We have now been told in layovers of under 4 hours, NO animal is taken into the cargo area, only the “holding area.” Something we had never been told or accepted. No van would have been unacceptable, but no cargo area at the hight of summer? Outrageous. After 2+ hours he was put back onto a luggage cart and kept outside for another 40 minutes to travel 4 gates...until we saw him.

He never had a chance. We have now learned that every 9 days a pet dies on a commercial airline. Yet the airline industry holds all the cards. Almost zero regulation, accountability or informing of the public of the actual dangers of airline flight, even though his one way ticket was double my round trip. The airline and law consider him “luggage” and my recourse has been exactly that. In fact, only “pet” deaths are reported, not the hundreds of deaths of commercial animals, breeding pets, livestock, exotics, primates, etc. How can the public not be informed of this?

Unless you are prepared to take the exact same chance with your pet as with your bag, do not fly your pet on a commercial airline. The last words to me beautiful baby boy as I loaded him in the crate at the United cargo terminal, were,...

“Be a good boy, I’ll be back for you, I promise.” For 4 hours in a heat wave, as his body was closing down, as United’s “trained” personnel walked by and ignored his distress, is this what went through his mind? If he was just a good boy I’d be back for him.

United broke every single promise they made to us. They killed my baby boy and tried to buy me off with travel vouchers and a complete denial of any responsibility on their part.

PetsVentura comments and advices for all travelers with their pets:

This issue of animal transportation is not an easy one, and for sure not economic at all. The organization that sets the standard is IATA  (www.iata.org) and you can read on their website their section on LIVE ANIMALS REGULATION (LAR) www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/live-animals/Pages/index.aspx. Every airline must follow these regulations, but they also have their own policies, and airplane fleet, which differ from one company to another.  In addition, each country has their own rules and standards regarding their concerns on handling travel with animals.  

All airlines follow the same kind of type, size and setup of travel kennels -- see paragraph “Do you have a suitable container for your pet?”  www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/live-animals/pets/Pages/index.aspx. However, some airlines are stricter than others are in terms of size and setup.

Weather conditions – Temperature restrictions have been established by some airlines to ensure animals are not exposed to extreme heat or cold in the animal holding areas, terminal facilities, when moving the animals between terminal and aircraft, or on an aircraft awaiting departure. Pets will not be accepted by some airlines when the current or forecasted temperature at the arrival or departure airport is above 84F (29C) at either location on the itinerary (75 degrees for snub-nosed dogs and snub-nosed cats).

Medical condition – Each country has its own entry and exit rules regarding medical condition of a traveling animal. Travel documents must meet these unique requirements. 

Cost of travel – When it comes to travelling by air, there are three common ways: in-cabin, as checked luggage, or as manifest cargo. Each airline has its own rules on which animal can use any of these options, and once again, it is not so simple. It depends on the route, or if the airplane is too small to accommodate big dogs, or it is not suitable for carrying animals in certain conditions. Some countries will enforce using cargo flights (i.e. Australia, New Zealand and a few others). Some countries require have medical and importation requirements (i.e. the process of entry to Australia can take 5-6 and the cost is not cheap).  

Each country, airport and airline have an edition set of fees, which obviously differ greatly,. i.e. When you fly a cat from England to Argentina by British Airways, you will pay for a ticket in England and at the EZE airport; their office will charge you an extra processing fee to receive your animal from them.  You might ask why should you pay extra after all you paid for the ticket in London, right? On top of this, you have to pay the government agriculture office fees, customs, etc. In case of flying a pet in cabin or as access luggage, the process is relatively simple and economic. When using cargo flight the process is very different and very costly. In some countries, the passenger can handle the entire process of buying tickets, pay taxes and receive the animal. Nevertheless, in some other case the airline, airport or the country will enforce dealing ONLY with a custom broker or pet shipper who is a member of IPATA (www.ipata.org). Should you need a broker, there will be an extra layer of cost.   

Until this point, I have tried to explain--while simplifying-- the complicity of basic rules and conditions involved in shipping an animal by air.

My experience working in preparing and shipping animals for the last 30 years bring some addition recommendations:

• Have an extra medical examination by a veterinarian to make sure your animal is healthy to fly. The common physical examination to obtain the International Health Certificate is very superficial   
• Make sure that your pet can handle the emotional stress of being in a kennel for so many hours (sometimes a pet can spend over 24 hours locked in with no possibility of getting out even to relieve himself or have a meal)
• I recommend scheduling a direct flight when possible no matter the cost!!! If you have layovers for 2-4 hours and change flights, I will recommend to you if possible taking a break at that airport and waiting for the next day flight. Again, this not always possible but if we take animal into consideration, it is highly recommended.
• NEVER, NEVER fly under extreme weather conditions (too hot or too cold). 
• Never fly during holidays, weekends
• Kennels – They rules of the hardware are clear as set by IATA (heavy plastic, wood or metal, no wheels). I cannot recommend one brand over the other. Make sure you read IATA and airline guidelines very carefully. 
• Preparing your pet to accept the kennel in which they will travel is very important. Teach your pet get used to the kennel weeks or months in advance before traveling
•  I recommend my clients to get a larger kennel (above the minimum requirements) to assure a comfortable area to lie down, turn around and move (i.e. if your pet requires a kennel size 500, I would suggest to have the next size up!!). Obviously the cost of a larger size is higher and the cost of ticket will be higher as well, but if you care for the well-being of your pet this will make a huge different in the quality of an already stressful journey. 
• Cost- If you cannot afford it, do not put your pet at risk, just as you would not do it with young children. 
• Airlines and airports – Some are better than others! Some of the best airlines to fly with animals are British Airlines, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, KLM Airlines, Air France, LAN Airlines, and few more. Some airports set special high quality areas for animals such as Frankfurt Airport, London International Airport and a few others. Get educated about the facilities where you pet might have a layover.

To conclude this short note, I would ask each pet lover to make their pet their top priority when they travel. Their life depends on your smart decisions. Think and act on their best interest. Educate yourself, read the small print of any related travel contracts, weather conditions, medical conditions, type of airplane and airport your pet will pass through, make sure your pet’s mental state is fit for the flight and all the pre and post flight. 

Recommendation from PetsVentura to our clients: There are many companies, travel providers, and each one of us as a pet owner (moms and dads) has an obligation to choose the best and most trusted travel providers. 

 If your suspect your pet has any issue before or during the flight – YES, handle additional cost or inconvenience by cancelling or changing your flight arrangements. The life of your pets are in your hands!!!

Pet in cargo hold

When you send your pet by cargo flight you might wonder where the kennel is placed at the airplane. 

I attached to this short note a picture to demonstrate the place in cargo hold. All kennels are secured in an area designated for live animals, away from the other baggage and cargo. Kennels are either strapped down individually or otherwise secured with tarp or netting.

The air in the cargo hold is the exact same pressurized, temperature-controlled air that circulates throughout the main cabin. But because the multitude of human bodies sitting together generates added warmth in the more insulated main cabin, the air is always cooler in cargo. To remedy this, most aircrafts have a “high/low” switch in the cockpit that sends additional warm air to cargo, which the pilot sets to “high” whenever there are live animals below. One pilot states that on a Boeing 777, the cargo air averages about 18°C (64.4° F) with the switch set to high, but can drop to below 10 °C (50°F) if mistakenly left on the low setting.

To help prevent such an accident, all pilots are informed on their load manifest when there are live animals “in the pit.” For caution’s sake, it would be wise to ask your flight attendant to confirm the pilot has “flipped the switch” and is aware of your precious cargo below!

An Air Charter Service for You and Your Pet

An Air Charter Service for You and Your Pet

If you’ve traveled on an airplane with your pet in the past, you know what an unpleasant experience it can be for your beloved furry friend. In most situations, pets are relegated to the cargo area of a plane, where they’re kept in small cages and situated haphazardly in a cramped area with luggage and other caged animals. Flying can be a very terrifying experience for your pet. If you have a small pet, you may be able to keep it in a small cage under your seat. But the hustle and bustle of a crowded airplane can still be a very unpleasant experience for your pet, especially if they can’t see you from their place under your seat. If you are looking for a much more pleasant way for your pet to fly with you, consider an air charterservice that will allow your pet to feel considerably more safe and secure while in flight.

Air charter services allow you to rent out jets called “jet charters.” If you need to travel with your pet, a jet charter is an excellent option. It provides a much more comfortable environment for you and your pet. On a jet charter, your animal is allowed to fly beside you on the plane, no matter what its size is. This means that your 80-pound dog can ride next to you on the jet. Additionally your pet does not have to ride in the cargo area and will be able to see, smell, and hear you throughout the flight. This will dramatically reduce the amount of anxiety your pet may have while in flight. If you have needed to medicate your dog or cat in the past to reduce his or her anxiety, you will probably not need to do so on a jet charter flight.

You may be thinking that chartering a jet sounds like a good idea for you and your pet. However, you may also be wondering how much it will cost. Generally, jet charters are more expensive than flights on regular airplanes. This isn’t always the case, though. If you travel with several other friends and/or family members, you can split the price of the jet charter. Air charter services charge by the hour. Some small jet charters that can accommodate around 8 people or 7 people and one pet, cost around $2,000 an hour. So, if you took a flight to someplace that was an hour away by jet with 6 other people and your cat or dog, it would only cost each person around $285 one-way. That’s really not much higher than what a major airline would charge. And you get to fly with your dog or cat without having to worry about his or her discomfort.

So, next time you need to fly with your animal best friend, think about flying on a jet charter. A jet charter is an incredibly comfortable environment for both you and your pet. It’s the perfect place for both of you to relax before you reach your final destination!

• GBP 310 ($470) fee for customs clearance in the UK . 
• In addition, the USDA charges $111 per dog for providing the required paperwork approvals, so in the end, the up front costs were nearly $1700. 
• Add to that the cost of all the vet visits to get him micro-chipped, vaccinated, de-wormed and blood-tested (another $300 easily).
• Cost of buying  a replacement bed, leash, collar, and food bowl for the UK (since his US items couldn't accompany your pet in the crate)

Pet Shipping

Shipping a pet is a stressful experience for most pet owners. There are many details regarding the shipment of a dog or cat that must be attended to -- especially when overseas pet shipment is concerned.

In planning for your pet's shipment, allow for plenty of lead-time, especially if you're shipping your pet abroad, so that all the preparations are in place well before your departure. That way, you and your pet can take the big move in stride.

Every country has its own set of customs regulations, procedures, and health and documentation requirements. These can be quite complicated and must be followed precisely.

A domestic move can be easily arranged for. The international moves are more complicated because the regulations vary from country to country. Using a pet shipper alleviates some of the stress

IPATA member shippers -- numbering more than 200 in 30 countries -- must demonstrate appropriate experience, must be properly licensed in their countries, and must agree to adhere to IATA's Live Animal Regulations, the international standard for the care of animals in shipment. According to Young, member companies make use of airlines with facilities and handling procedures that have been verified to meet standards of quality and safety.

IPATA maintains a searchable list of pet shippers worldwide with a detailed listing of their specific services. The list can be searched alphabetically by name, or by airport location.

It's important to keep in mind that IPATA is a trade organization, not a shipper. Each IPATA member is an individual company with its own practices, procedures, services, and rates. Compare the costs and services of several different companies before making your choice.

Various levels of service are available from different shippers, ranging from basic airport-to-airport service to comprehensive door-to-door service. The cost of shipping a pet varies widely, depending on the degree of service sought and the destination. Naturally, international shipping is more expensive than domestic.

 

New Security Directive Affects Non-U.S. Origin Cargo

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a new Security Directive effective 1700 GMT March 10, 2011. This Directive mandates changes in security measures applicable to cargo shipments originating, transiting, or transferring at all non-U.S. locations.

Continental Airlines Cargo continues to accept cargo from all our customers as we work with the TSA to validate the impact and ramifications of this Directive.

Compliance with the new Directive requires carriers to determine whether the forwarder/

consolidator’s customer has had an established account with the forwarder for at least one

year. Forwarders are required to attest to this relationship by submitting the following revised

MAWB statement:

“All shipments tendered on this Master Air Waybill were received from persons having an established account for at least one year with a physical shipping address and a payment, invoice, or credit history of at least one year.”


When possible, this statement should accompany the shipment at time of tender. The statement may be written on the air waybill or other shipment documentation or may be included on a separate document. The version of the MAWB Acceptance Statement required by previous Directives is no longer valid or required.


Separate security measures apply to shipments tendered by regulated agents who provide the statement above, and to cargo from unregulated agents or agents who do not provide the statement. United Cargo will continue to accept cargo tendered both with and without this statement, and will apply the appropriate security protocols.


We will issue further updates on this issue as the impact of the new Directive is clarified. If you have any questions on this issue, please contact your cargo sales manager. We appreciate your support and continued strong business relationship.

Certificado de Salud, emitido por el SENASA. Este trámite lo realiza PetsVentura Pet Relocation Solutions 

Adicionalmente, para algunos países es necesario visar ante el consulado este Certificado de Salud del SENASA. Asimismo, en otros países es necesario que los animales pasen por cuarentena.

Importante: En el caso de animales (perros y gatos) que ingresan a los países de la Comunidad Europea, deberán cumplir con lo siguiente:

Microchip de identificación, implantado en la mascota. 

Vacuna contra la rabia colocada el mismo día en que se implanta el chip (independiente de otras vacunas que sean necesarias). 

28 días después de la vacunación y el implante del chip, se toma una muestra para comprobar el Suero Antirrábico y se envía a un laboratorio certificado.

A partir de ese momento y contando 90 días, las mascotas podrán ingresar a países miembros de la Comunidad Europea y Suiza.
