In the process of relocating pets to countries such as Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, and Chile, and through Australian territory, certain requirements and procedures must be met. One option currently available is the Digital Veterinary Certificate (CVA), which eliminates the need to physically go to an office, allowing the submission of documentation through the Pet System and receiving the CVI by email.
To ensure the pet's well-being during transport, it is essential that the animal feels comfortable and secure. In private vehicles, the pet must be secured with a harness to the seatbelt. On aircraft or buses, companies set specific rules, such as the use of rigid crates or carrier bags, depending on the mode of transportation.
It is important to note that air travel can be stressful for pets, especially if they must travel in the hold. It is advisable to acclimate the animal to its transport several days before the trip and to avoid the use of tranquilizers, as this can be harmful. Proper preparation and comfort during transport are key for the pet to travel safely and calmly.
The International Veterinary Certificate (CVI) is an essential document for relocating dogs and cats abroad, based on the health requirements of the destination country. The CVI must be issued by an authorized veterinarian and verify the animal's health status, including the corresponding vaccinations and deworming. Additionally, an Export Health Certificate issued by SENASA in Argentina is required, valid for 30 days.
Regarding travel requirements according to airlines, specific rules are established for pet transport in the cabin or hold. Each airline has its own regulations and costs, which may vary depending on the destination and the characteristics of the animal. It is crucial to gather information about the conditions and rates before boarding the pet on a flight.
The increase in the issuance of certificates for relocating pets abroad reflects the growing trend among pet owners to take their animals with them when traveling. Argentina has the highest number of pets per capita, leading to an increase in services and procedures related to traveling with animals abroad. Transport costs vary depending on the airline, destination, and travel conditions, making it important to plan ahead and comply with the established requirements to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for the pet.
