Every journey starts with the right steps.
Travelling internationally with a pet is more than booking a flight. Understand who prepares the documents, who checks the first border, and what to ask before booking.
The PetWaymark approach
- Start at your origin Departure permits and veterinary procedures
- Check the journey Timing, transit and carrier acceptance
- Verify your destination Entry requirements and exceptions
One journey. Several authorities. No shortcuts.
Research preview: No journeys are currently approved or calculated by PetWaymark. Check directly with government authorities, your veterinarian, and your carrier before booking.
