Can pets immigrate with them?

If you are a pet lover, have you ever thought about bringing your dog or cat with you when you immigrate, besides bringing your family? There may be many people who want to do this, but bringing pets into the country is not a simple matter. Different countries have different regulations on the entry of pets. In order to make your pet "immigrate" smoothly, it is necessary to know the regulations of various countries in advance, so that your pet can "immigrate" smoothly.

Pet Entry-North America

It usually takes more than one month to prepare for going to the United States, Canada or other countries, but it takes seven months to prepare for bringing pets into these two countries.

It is easier to bring pets into the United States and Canada. If your dog doesn't have a valid rabies vaccination certificate, don't worry, as long as you promise to isolate the dog from outsiders after entering the country. The most humane point is that in order not to let the owner and pet miss each other, the owner can choose the isolated place, even the home. However, after arriving at the destination, remember to vaccinate the pet within 4 days, and continue to isolate it for 30 days after vaccination. After the quarantine period, you are free to walk your dog outside.

In addition, the laws of the United States and Canada stipulate that dogs under three months cannot be vaccinated against rabies. Even people who have been vaccinated in the country of origin are no exception. Dogs under three months old must be quarantined after their owners agree to enter the country. Dogs can only be vaccinated after 3 months, and they have to be isolated for 30 days after vaccination.

Pet access-continental Europe

1) health certificate. Only a health certificate issued within 48 hours before departure is valid. The certificate is issued by the veterinarian, which indicates (the veterinarian must be an agent recognized by the relevant department responsible for issuing the exit certificate) that the thing has not suffered from any infectious disease, bacterial disease or rabies.

2) rabies vaccination certificate. What I want to mention here is that if you have lived in a country where rabies has been eradicated (such as Britain, Ireland, Australia, etc.) for six months and then entered other countries' pets, you don't need this certificate. However, in order to protect pets and assure the customs that pets meet the epidemic requirements when they arrive at their destination, it is best to vaccinate pets against rabies.

3) Exit certificate. Obtain a valid exit certificate from the relevant departments of registered pets in this country. The certificate should indicate that there has been no epidemic of infectious diseases in the pet's residence in the past two years. According to the law, infectious diseases should be reported to the relevant state departments. The exit certificate is issued by the competent department of the country where it is located. If you meet the requirements, the certificate will be stamped with the seal of approval as soon as you set foot in the country where you want to live abroad.

Pet Entry-UK and Ireland

The entry of pets in the British Isles and continental Europe is slightly different. All pets must be completely isolated and observed in the approved isolation area for 6 months. If you haven't been vaccinated against rabies, pets must be vaccinated against rabies as soon as they enter the quarantine area. All pets who want to enter Britain and Ireland must apply for an entry permit in advance, which is issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. An Englishman living abroad, no matter how short his pet has left Britain, must still go through the prescribed isolation time and perform the necessary procedures at that time.

Pet Entry-Australia

All pets entering Australia must abide by the quarantine regulations and obtain the entry permit of Australia in advance. Except for pets from New Zealand and Coconut Group, pets from other countries need to be quarantined at different times: things from Britain or Ireland and China are quarantined for two months; Pets from Norway, Sweden or Hawaii should be quarantined for 4 months; Pets from other countries allowed to enter the country should be quarantined for 9 months; Pets from countries without entry permits must live in countries with entry permits (usually Britain or Hawaii) for 30 days, and then bring pets into Australia from that country according to the necessary procedures.

Pet Entry-Singapore

Singapore has enacted laws related to the entry of pets. In addition to prohibiting the import of dangerous animals, there are also restrictions on certain cats and dogs. The type of pets allowed to enter the country depends on the type of house where the breeder lives. When transporting pets to Singapore, pet owners are advised to consider their age, health status, transportation convenience and adaptability to Singapore's climate. Special consideration should be given to these issues when quarantine and isolation of pets. In addition, dogs and cats entering Singapore should be vaccinated against rabies and quarantined for at least 30 days, except dogs and cats from Australia, New Jersey, Britain and Ireland. Dogs must be vaccinated to avoid canine distemper, canine hepatitis and canine parvovirus infection. Singapore also stipulates that the owners of the same non-governmental residential area can only keep up to three dogs. According to the regulations of the Housing Authority, dogs banned by the Housing Authority are not allowed to appear in residential areas, and cats are not allowed to appear in the houses of the Housing Authority.

Interestingly, if your pet enters Singapore, it may be implanted with a chip. The Singapore government has decided that both imported and domestic pets can enjoy the advanced "chip physical examination" technology. It is said that this kind of micro-core is only the size of rice grains, and veterinarians implant it under the skin of pets by injection. When the lost pet is found, as long as the whole body of the animal is scanned with a special portable scanner, the "life experience" of the pet can be easily known. Experts point out that for those lost animals, miniature cores are the safest and most effective way to help them find their owners.
