Entry Rules To Argentina With Pets

Admission of pets into Argentina     

The requirements to be fulfilled to get dogs and cats into Argentina are the following: 

1. Complete information on the owner:
   • first and last name;
   • country of origin or departure;
   • countries in transit (if any);
   • address.
2. Information about the animal:
   • breed – sex;
   • birth date – size;
   • weight–fur color;
   • particular signs.
3. Vaccination certificate against rabies for animals over 3 months old. 
For animals under 3 months old or that are coming from a country free from rabies and/or where anti–rabies vaccination is prohibited, this situation has to be stated on the certificate issued by the official sanitary authority. 
4. Zoosanitary certificate issued by the official sanitary authority of the country of origin that should state:
   • that the animal prior to leaving the country had no signs of any infectious–contagious or parasite disease, characteristic of the species.
   • if the animal is coming from countries that declare before the International Office of Epizooties (O.I.E.) the presence of African equine pest or Valle del Riff fever, shall certificate that in the area of origin, or where the animal is coming from, and in an area within fifty (50) kilometers of such, there have been no reports of those diseases in the last 12 months or that during that period the animal has not been taken to the affected regions. 
5. Quarantine: the animals that fulfill the mentioned requirements will not undergo an import quarantine; if there is a suspicion of infectious–contagious, zoonotic or high risk diseases the SENASA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Animal) (National Office of Animal Sanitation) will decide on the means to assure the animal’s isolation and the corresponding sanitary measures.

Rules for Flying With a Service Dog

Here are some of the old and new rules as well as progress in animal relief areas that is currently worth mention.  As ones that used to travel with a service animal, this topic is very close to our heart, and that said, we hope that if you do travel with an animal that you have trained yourself, as we did, that you do so responsibly.  

Existing Rules:  

• Airlines can not ask passengers what their disability is, but they can ask what the service animal does for the individual, which will briefly touch on that person's special needs (and therefore eluding to their disability).
• Airlines are required to provide service animal relief areas and must cooperate with airport operators to make these areas accessible and readily available for both arriving and connecting passengers.
•  TSA will expedite passengers to and from outdoor relief areas if they are on the other side of security and a passenger needs to relieve the service animal during a connecting flight.

Newest Rule: 

•  Passengers traveling with "emotional support animals" (which are not currently defined the same as a service animal) must give the airline 48 hours advance notice and provide a letter of verification and special need from their doctor.

International Rules: 

Many countries have very strict rules regarding animals and traveling with pets, and no matter what the laws are in the US, as well as no matter whether the new 382 ruling requires their airlines to comply with the rules, if the country's existing laws prohibit animals in some way, they prohibit US travelers with service animals as well and are awarded a "conflict of law waiver" in regard to following 382. Of note, the Philippines, Jamaica, and Mexico have already received their conflict of law waivers, and do not, nor likely will soon, allow service animals into their countries.

Canadians Fight Over Allowing Pets On Airplanes

Dr. Thomas Kovesi, a pediatric respirologist at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa said today on Canadian TV "The airlines have to ask themselves which are more important: people or pets? And pets are important, but I think people are more important"

PetsVentura will keep covering this issue that can influence many pet owners.

CANADAIAN AIRLINES PET POLICIES

The control airline consumer complaint in Canada is taking into consideration declaring allergies a disability. This might oblige Canada airlines to stop allowing small pets to fly in the passenger cabin with their owners.


All Canadians airlines are required by federal regulation to allow service animals, such as guide dogs, to travel in passenger cabins, but this proposed policy might influence the service dogs as well.

Once again the travel animals by air can be forced  to be done by CARGO flight only!
