BRINGING A FERRET TO BRAZIL

The process of bringing a ferret to Brazil from any place in the world need to starts with two different licenses: a license from IBAMA (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis) and the second license is from the MINISTÉRIO DA AGRICULTURA authorizing to release the ferret at the airport.

IBAMA license:

Letter or/and license from the official breeder translated and validated and certified;

Certificate with the microchip number translated;

Official certificate issued by a recognized veterinarian clarifying that the animal is castrated and vaccinated against rabies, and translated to Portuguese;

CITES application filled in and signed (IBAMA will Email it);

IBAMA’s FEE. This payment has t be paid at “Banco do Brasil” or “Caixa Econômica Federal” – the only two official Brazilian banks that accept this tax;

After having all these documents, you should fax them to IBAMA in the city Brasilia (Brasil) where they should be verify and approved. If approved, 30 businesses weekly days later, IBAMA will send you the Import Permit.

Important Note: IBAMA will send these documents only to an address in Brazil.

MIINISTERIO DA AGRICULTURA license:

After receiving the IBAMA license you need to request an Import License from the MINISTÉRIO DA AGRICULTURA which is located at the city where the ferret is going to be arriving.

There is no cost to obtain this license. The process takes 3 businesses days.

Countries out of MERCOSUR (MERCOSUL) have to request another license to the Brazilian Consulate in your origin country, avoiding with this the 40 days quarantine. Requisitions:

International Health certificate issued by the Veterinarian Department in the Origin Country (i.e. in USA is the US Department of Agriculture – USDA).

Certificate clarifying that there were not any infect contagious disease in the zone of your residence, issued 40 days prior to the trip issued by the Veterinarian Department in the Origin Country.

Vaccination book up to date

Taxes

You must have all these original documents before the departure and keep them with you while you are travelling.

IMPORTANT

It is very important to notify the Veterinarian Department at the airport of arriving the date and time that the ferret is arriving. Some airports have different schedule and you may not find an authorized agent to release the animal.

Request the airlines about the possibility of traveling with the ferret with you in cabin. Some airlines will allow it. Delta, Alitalia, Iberia, TAM, are good examples.

To avoid any problem request to your veterinarian to issue a bilingual certificate clarifying that ferrets are not rodent.

MACAW PARROT

The macaw parrot is a type of parrot that originates from 

South America and Africa.

There are many different types of macaws and two of the most popular are the Catalina macaw parrot and the blue and yellow macaw parrot.

Many people will recognize the macaw from pirate movies as being the parrot that sits on the shoulder of the captain. They were of course used by sailors back in those days for sailors who could not speak. They used to train the macaw parrot to speak for them.

The lifespan of the macaw parrot ranges from 15 to 30 years depending on how well looked after they are. There is lots you can do to make sure your macaw parrot will live for longer and one of the most important things you can do as an owner is to make sure your macaw is consistently being shown attention. Parrots hate nothing more than to be bored and being bored usually decreases their lifespan.

As the macaw parrot is a wild animal that came from the forests of Africa and South America, they must be specially treated. Therefore only trained experts should own a macaw because it takes a lot of effort to maintain these beautiful creatures. One of the things owners use to keep their macaws from boredom is to teach them how to talk. Many people don't realize that the macaw is an amazing talker. Expert trainers are able to teach their macaw parrot to speak several different phrases and words.

Another thing that trainers like to do to keep their macaw parrots happy is to teach them tricks. These tricks include anything from card tricks to ball games. They are amazing thinkers and have the capacity to solve even the most challenging of problems. Next time you visit the local wildlife reserve and they have a macaw parrot as apart of their wildlife, ask the trainers to show you some of the tricks they have taught their parrots. This will give you a good opportunity to learn many things for when you perhaps decide to get your own macaw parrot one day.

PET SOUTH AMERICA 2009

Pet South America 2009 will host the world congress for small animal veterinarians.

From July 22nd through the 24th, São Paulo will be the world capital of small pets as it holds two of the largest events aimed at professionals from this area: Pet South America 2009 and the WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinarian Association) congress. Organized by NürnbergMesse Brasil, the events will be held at the Transamerica Expo Center and the Transamerica Hotel respectively.

 
Around 270 exhibitors at Pet South America 2009 will present new products and services to the animal heath, nutrition, equipment, aquarium supplies, veterinary specialties, accessories, publications and services segments in an area that will be 10% larger than the previous year.

  

Social Responsibility and Animal Welfare - Veterinarian Seminar

Targeting professionals and students of the Veterinarian field, the seminar brought local and international lecturers to cover how social oriented initiatives can also mean opportunity and promote a professional career. Successful initiatives in Brazil and abroad, that moved society's level of awareness on pet population control and responsible ownership, were also presented.

The pet overpopulation is ever present in both small and large cities of a developing country. It reveals itself daily to veterinarians as puppies in cardboard boxes, run-over and wounded animals, zoonosis and several other instances of cruelty which wear the professional out, creating a feeling of powerlessness.

In the past seven years, conferences, symposiums and other events organized by ARCA Brasil marked the beginning of a new attitude toward animals in Brazil, especially regarding pet population control. Now is the moment to approach this change under the perspective of one of the most important agent in the human-animal relationship: the veterinarian.

ARCA Brasil's Veterinarian Seminar - Social Responsibility and Animal Welfare targets professionals and students of the Veterinarian field. The seminar will bring local and international lecturers to cover how social oriented initiatives can also mean opportunity and promote a professional career. Successful initiatives in Brazil and abroad, that moved society's level of awareness on pet population control and responsible ownership, will also be presented.

Why an event for veterinarians?

After the 3rd Animal Welfare Congress, the need for an event targeted at veterinarians became evident. They are, after all, the fundamental link between companion animals, their owners, and society - they'll be part, for example, of the solution for the issue of abandoned animals.

The ARCA Brasil Seminar is a must-go for veterinarians who are aware of their social role and want to effectively interact with new opportunities related to animal care and control.
