Learn the Process
Relocating with your dog can feel complicated, especially when different countries have different rules. At VetGlobal Relocation, the process is broken down into clear steps, with guidance at every stage — so you always know what comes next.
Every country has its own regulations for importing pets. The first step is to review the specific requirements of the country you plan to travel to.
This includes:
✓ Entry regulations and timelines
✓ Required vaccinations and treatments
✓ Documentation needed before travel
You will receive clear, practical guidance so you can plan with confidence.
Once the destination requirements are confirmed, your dog's existing documentation is carefully reviewed.
This step includes checking:
✓ Microchip identification
✓ Travel passport or health records
✓ Vaccination status and required treatments
If anything is missing or needs updating, you will be informed early to avoid delays later in the process.
A home visit is arranged to carry out a clinical examination in a calm and familiar environment.
During this visit:
✓ Your dog is examined to assess fitness to travel
✓ Required vaccinations or parasite treatments are administered, if necessary
✓ Official veterinary health certificates are prepared
Animal welfare is always the priority. If travel is not advisable, this will be discussed openly and honestly.
The final step is applying for the Export Health Certificate through the government veterinary system.
This includes:
✓ Submission of the application through CEXGAN
✓ Coordination of approvals and official documentation
✓ Pick-up and delivery of the export certificate, when required
Once this step is completed, your dog is officially cleared to travel according to destination regulations.
