Pet travel questions, answered

The four questions people ask most before booking a flight with their dog or cat.

Do I need a rabies titer test to fly with my dog?

Only if your destination requires one. Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore and several others demand a FAVN/RNATT blood test from an approved lab. EU countries, the US and Canada generally do not for vaccinated pets. Check the destination page before you plan the blood draw — results take weeks, and some countries enforce a 180-day wait.

What documents do I need to travel internationally with a pet?

The core set is an ISO-compliant microchip, a rabies vaccination certificate, and a health certificate issued or endorsed by the exporting country's authority — USDA in the US, APHIS-endorsed for departures. Import permits, titer tests and tapeworm treatments apply on top, depending on the country. Every country page lists the exact set.

How far ahead should I start preparing?

Read the destination's minimum preparation time first. Many EU and North American destinations need 30 days; Australia, New Zealand and Japan need a titer test plus a 180-day waiting period after the blood draw. The route pages show a day-by-day timeline from first vet visit to departure.

Can my dog fly in the cabin internationally?

It depends on the airline and the dog's size. Small dogs under the airline's weight limit can travel in cabin on many carriers; larger dogs must fly as checked baggage or cargo. Qatar Airways and Emirates impose strict transit rules, and some airlines pause dog acceptance on specific routes. See route details for carrier constraints.
