What procedures do dogs need to go abroad?

I want to take my pets abroad because of my work needs, but I don't know much about the quarantine policy for outbound pets. What are the procedures for pets to leave the country?

Hello! Because pets are living animals, animal quarantine requirements are relatively strict, and most countries or regions will formulate specific quarantine requirements for specific exit places and pet breeds. It is recommended that you fully understand the quarantine requirements of the destination country or region before taking your pet out of the country.

The following are some specific requirements and precautions for pets leaving the country.

General requirements for pets leaving China.

_ Before leaving the country, you must declare to the customs for quarantine. Pets should declare to the local customs before leaving the country, and apply for animal health certificates and other documents.

_ Before leaving the country, you must go through customs quarantine and issue a certificate. After the customs accepts the declaration, it will make an appointment for the clinical quarantine inspection of pets. The contents of the examination include whether the pet's mental state is good, whether its movements are coordinated, whether its fur is glossy and smooth, whether it breathes evenly, whether its nasal endoscope is moist and normal, whether its visible mucosa is normal (no flushing, cyanosis, pallor and yellow staining), whether its secretions and excretions are normal, whether its body surface is infested with parasites, whether it has clinical features of skin diseases and whether it has clinical features of infectious diseases. The customs will judge whether the pet meets the quarantine requirements of the destination country according to the on-site quarantine, and decide whether to issue an animal health certificate. Those who pass the quarantine inspection are allowed to leave the country.

I hope you can know the quarantine requirements of the destination country or region in advance, arrange the pet exit time reasonably, and cooperate with the customs on-site quarantine inspection. I wish you and your pet a smooth exit.
