The paperwork that makes travel possible, and the health check that makes it safe. The full document stack — ISO microchip, rabies, government veterinary health certificate, titer test and import permit, and how the timing fits together — plus a pre-travel vet checklist and how to tell when a dog should not fly at all.
The pet travel document stack, explained: microchip, health certificates, rabies titer tests and more — in the right order
Each document has a validity window that forces a specific sequence. Get the order wrong and you will miss a flight, face quarantine, or have to start over. Here is the complete stack — from ISO microchip to destination import permit.
