SERVICES
All countries require veterinary preparation that can take a different amount of time and commitment e.g. preparation for taking pets into EU countries takes 3 to 4 months, where preparation for pets into USA can take up to 21 days.
We recommend that you provide us with copies of your pet's veterinary documentation as soon as possible so we can advise you what requirements you have to meet to be able to export or import your pets ...find more about pet travel rules & regulations.
Few words about the health certificate...
The health certificate is a health inspection to certify that your pet is fit to travel and basically that your pet can undertake the journey safely.
So... closer to the departure date, when all the necessary documentation is in place, the health certificate needs to be taken care of:
- You can do this yourself or let Global Paws arrange it for you.
- Your pet will be taken to your private veterinarian, who will certify that your pet is fit to travel and complies with the destination countries requirements.
- Most health certificates need to be countersigned by the State Vet.
- In general the health certificate is valid for ten days from the date of issue.
- Global Paws clients exporting from South Africa will be supplied with the correct and filled in health certificate.
