Hi Again Mr, Scott,

I seem to have a trouble in get a health certificate and the certification about the rabies. My vet doesn’t speak English. I tried to explain in Thai but he said he don’t understand. Hahaha.. Can you send me a sample of those documents? I will show it him. Or I might be the one to make it and let him sign it. Here’s my email : aiai_21_pedroso@yahoo.com

It will be very much appreciated.

Hi Scott, I have not perused the back pages of comments yet but my issue is that we are currently living in India, have a cat we brought with us here from the states 3 1/2 years ago, and we are moving to Manila at the end of June. I KNOW there has been rabies within 20 kilometers of here in the last six months, it is not uncommon in many areas of India. If I am dealing with an honest vet, there is no way I an get a statement saying otherwise. Do you know if there are any alternatives for situations like this? Our cat has been a mostly indoor cat, but she does go out sometimes and I know she has been close to other cats, though not dogs. Thanks in advance for any help you, or anyone else, are able to give!

Hi Wardell,

It’s always hard for animals to fly. It’s up to you whether you choose to sedate him, I suggest discussing this with your vet. You will need to contact the airline to find out how much they charge per kilogram to work out the cost. Then you just need to follow the information in the article for other documentation and costs.

Hello Scott
How are you? I am planning to go to manilla in September 2011. I want to bring my Beagle with me instead of paying some $1000 to keep him. He is 9 years old. We will be flying from Chicago, IL to Korean to manilla. Will it be hard for him since its a 22 hours flight? His shots are updated and he is in good condition. How much money do I need? Thanks!

Hi Villy,

Exotic animals are different. As I’ve never travelled with exotic animals, I can’t give you any advice other than contact BAI. I also know that in some countries you have to provide documentation for exotic animals before departing. This documentation has to show that a government authority has allowed this species of animal to leave the country.

Hi Scott, Good Day!

Maybe cats and dogs is easy, but what about ferrets, turtles, chameleons, rare/exotic animals? Do they have the same process/requirements? My sister is in Canada right now and thinking i’d let her buy there and let her bring home the pets when she comes back next year, or my brother in NZ, I can maybe handle the papers here and all they have to worry about is bringing the pets here…

Thank you so much, i’ve come upon your bLog site and it is really helpful and informative, thank you! ^_^

Sincerely,
Villy

Hi Aiai,

Just do what I did and wrote about in the article, say that it cost 15 bucks or some other small amount.
