How to take pets to Canada? About how much?

It's actually not too difficult. I'm going to take a cat from Guangzhou to Canada myself. Simplify some processes and list them.

To book a plane ticket, you must apply to the airline for "bringing pets". Because a plane is allowed to carry up to 8 pets, and most airlines only allow pets to enter the cargo hold, they need oxygen in the cargo hold. Don't worry too much, it is generally recognized. But cats and dogs with short noses are basically not allowed to board the plane. )

7-8 days before take-off, contact a qualified pet consignment company to go through relevant formalities (some quarantine certificates and entry and exit documents), and provide photos, colors, ages, breeds and sex of pets. The cost is about 1000 to 2000. Anyway, I brought my cat from Guangzhou to Toronto, and the agency fee was 2000.

Bring all the documents handled by the pet consignment company, arrive at the airport 4-5 hours before the flight takes off, and handle the consignment by yourself. Pets are usually checked as luggage, but there is an extra charge. The freight is about $300. Air Canada is 100 Canadian dollars. Or 1.5%/kg of the full fare of economy class. It depends on different airlines. I only know that Air Canada, WestJet Airlines and Delta Air Lines all allow pets to sit in the cabin, but they must be placed in a soft or hard air box at the bottom of the front seat. This means that too big pets can't sit in the cabin. )

After the pet arrives, it has to be inspected by the local customs, so it is easy to take it out and wipe it with test paper.

The biggest problem with taking pets abroad is that you need to make a comfortable trip for your pet. For example, I brought my cat from Guangzhou to Toronto myself. Because there are no direct flights, connecting flights has become a major difficulty. I have to apply to two or more airlines because the airlines don't accept the application of bringing pets for joint travel. Then, the most difficult thing is to know more about your airlines, such as Air China, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines. Some pets died unnaturally, so you dare not let the cat take risks. Finally, I plan to take China Southern Airlines to Vancouver and transfer to Xijie to Toronto. The first trip takes more than 1 1 hour, so as to shorten the cat's hard work time as much as possible, and then take Seagate. Cats can take cabins.

More importantly, it is better to transfer at home or in the destination country, rather than through multiple countries, to avoid the trouble of pets entering another country. Never transfer to Hong Kong. It is not allowed unless you pay an extra quarantine fee of about 8,000 yuan for a few days. If you transfer in the destination country, you can't hang your luggage directly because you have to go through customs. The basic principle is that from country A to country B, even if the first stop of country B is transit, it must pass through customs at the first stop of country B. However, in many countries in the world, every regulation is different. The airline has a system to find out which airport can hang luggage directly. You can call the airline to check.
