TRAVELLING WITH YOUR PET--REGULATIONS FOR INTERNATIONALTRAVEL
 
     For current information, it is advisable that clients contact the appropriate embassy or consulate far in advance of the trip. A listing of the embassies and consulates can be found at www.state.gov/s/cpr/rls/fco/. Advance planning is required because some countries require rabies vaccination at least 30 days, but not more than one year, before the trip. Also, European Union countries now require a clearly readable tattoo or an International Standards Organization-compatible microchip and a bilingual European Union health certificate, which needs to be endorsed by a Department of Agriculture veterinarian. This requires advance planning to have the correct certificate to get endorsed.  Additionally, the USDA maintains a Web site www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/ncie/exp-pets.html, with information mainly about requirements for livestock, but information about pets is provided for some countries.
