- Pet’s measurements – nose to base of tail and floor to top of head

Destination Country Pet Import Requirements
Your pet must satisfy your destination country’s live animal and pet import rules. The USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Services has a dedicated website with up-to-date country pet import requirements – USDA APHIS pet travel.
The International Pet and Animal Transport Association, dedicated to the safe and humane transport of pets and animals, will be another valuable resource IPATA.org.
Many airlines and destination countries also have dedicated pages for pets traveling – British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, Heathrow Animal Reception Center, Australian Dept of Agriculture, and New Zealand MPI.
Please begin by confirming your pet’s microchip number, date of birth, and breed info for accuracy and consistency on their existing health documents. The pet health documents you will be preparing to complete – import permits, blood test results, vaccine records, health certificates, and the final USDA endorsement process will depend on pet information consistency. Kindly contact your previous veterinarians to request copies of missing vaccine certificates as these documents will be needed to support completing new pet health travel documents.
