Country Regulations
Traveling Internationally?
It's important to recognize that each country has it's own regulations and if you are not in compliance with these regulations your dog may be refused entry upon arrival and returned to the originating country, or may be put in quarantine upon arrival. Sometimes quarantine can be as long as 3 to 6 months depending on the country you enter.
Direct Release Programs or Quarantine?
Many countries have direct release programs but in order to qualify for these programs you will need to start preparing at least 6 months prior to travel. If your dog does not meet the requirements for the direct release program they can be refused entry and returned back to the originating country, or put into quarantine for up to 90 days or more depending on the country you travel to. Some countries do not have direct release programs and before traveling with your dog you want to double check. Nobody wants to travel on vacation somewhere and have their dog stay in quarantine the whole time!

*** Because each country reserves the right to change their pet importation regulations at any time we are directing you directly to that country's governing body overseeing the importation of domestic pets. From time to time these countries change their policies, so when you make arrangements for your pet to travel, make sure that you contact that country's ministry or department directly and ask them if the regulations will be changing before you arrive. DogTravel is in now way, the governing body overseeing rules, regulations, and requirements for entry into any country, territory, or state. The traveler is responsible for ensuring that their pet meets all guidelines, and all paperwork is in order and filed at appropriate times for import and export, as well as re-entry back to your home country. From time to time Countries, governments, embassies, and ministries will change their websites and webpages. If you see that one of these links is not working, please report that broken link to us so we can quickly find the right link and supply it to our visitors. Thank you
