Hi anna such a good information thank you so much

[@bestdaysmagasine261]

Very informative video, i've always thinked if i moved how can i move my pet with me, i do scared a lot if something bad happened to them, i wish that my country to work on these subjects for animals because a lot of people here in my country Lebanon have pets and they love them, i think pet rights organisations should work more for this. I hope my country will be listed as a good country for pets some day. Please we need more videos like this one. Thank you❤

[@hshikai]

Please note the procedure when arriving at the airport for international flights. Do you need to go to the airport animal quarantine check-In first OR go to the airline check-In? This is not clarified in your video. Thank you.

The US treats dogs worse than criminals. It’s a very ridiculous process. My country doesn’t have a rabies problem and yet it’s classified as “high risk”.

[@fabiohscampos]

Hi there! Thanks for the valuable information! I’m planning to bring a puppy to the US from Poland (non-risk country). The breed is Lagotto Romagnolo. I have a question about the age of the dog. In October my dog will be 12-weeks old. So my question is: is the 6-month CDC rule applied to any dogs from any countries or only to the risk ones? Can I bring a 3-month old puppy form Poland to the US in the cabin with me? Thank you so much!

[@amtz2768]

How did it work out for you? I'm doing the same. How much did it cost you?

[@MrAbstractj]

Thank for sharing. It’s almost impossible to ship any snubbed nose breeds. You’re looking at $20k min. Overseas.

[@carltonthepug]

20k??? Where did you come up with that number? I shipped my two pugs from the USA to Turkey for way less than that. I used a pet shipping transportation company where it was temperature controlled.

[@dainaustin307]

@@carltonthepugwhat transportation company did you use? Trying to bring our medium size dog from Italy to the US

[@petesteelesgf]

I think it’s because being up in the air can cause breathing difficulties for these types of dogs and airlines don’t want to be legally responsible unfortunately

[@sonyacarlisle341]

Thanks for the info I'm considering moving and relocating my pet to south America Rio Brazil or Columbia but the weather is always hot there so he's like 20-25lbs what can I do? it's a long flight and would like to bring him on board what are my options do you offer your services

[@kimveeh4820]

Can you share how to find shared charter flights? I need to get myself and my furry kids from Frankfurt to Phoenix (or Los Angeles or Las Vegas in January 2023) Thank you.

[@startabroad4592]

Hi Kim, thanks for your comment! Sure, we can definitely help with that. Most of the charter flights go out of Dallas. We can connect you directly with a charter company, although there are likely much more cost effective ways to get you and your pups down to Costa Rica. Let us know how we can help! Please reach out directly to us at [e-mail] and we can either coordinate a call or put you in touch with the right people.

Hi @Travelingstufff123! The US has its own requirements that might be more difficult than Italy's check out the information from USDA here: www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel/another-country-to-us-import

People don’t realize that the cargo hold is a dangerous place for a pet. We all know animals have died because of this. They are not temperature controlled controlled as I was told by a few airlines.
