Step-by-Step Guide to Transporting Pets from Vietnam to Columbus
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Planning
The first step is to reach out to us for a consultation. We will provide you with a detailed overview of the process, including the required documents, health checks, and travel arrangements. Our goal is to ensure that you and your pet are fully prepared for the journey.
Step 2: Preparing Essential Documents
To transport your pet to Columbus, you will need to gather the following documents:
Pet Passport: This document includes your pet’s identification details, vaccination history, and health records.
Veterinary Health Certificate: A certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian stating that your pet is healthy and fit for travel. This certificate is usually valid for 10 days before the flight.
Rabies Vaccination Certificate: The USA requires proof of rabies vaccination administered at least 30 days before travel. Ensure that the certificate includes the microchip number of your pet.
Microchip Certificate: Your pet must have an ISO-compliant microchip implanted before the rabies vaccination. This microchip is essential for identification upon arrival.
Import Permit (if required): Depending on the type of pet and specific regulations, an import permit may be necessary.
Step 3: Booking Flights and Travel Crates
We help you book flights with pet-friendly airlines that offer safe and comfortable transport options. Additionally, we provide IATA-approved travel crates that are spacious enough to ensure your pet’s comfort during the long journey.
Step 4: Health Check and Pre-Flight Preparations
Your pet will need a final veterinary health check within 10 days of the scheduled flight. During this check, your pet may need additional vaccinations or treatments based on the destination’s requirements.
Crate Training: To minimize stress, we recommend crate training your pet a few weeks before the flight. This helps them get accustomed to the travel crate, making the journey less stressful.
Step 5: Departure Day and Customs Clearance
On the day of departure, we provide guidance on preparing your pet for the flight. At the airport, our team assists with customs procedures, ensuring that all documents are in order. We also liaise with airport authorities to expedite the clearance process.
Step 6: Arrival in Columbus
Once your pet arrives at John Glenn Columbus International Airport, our local partners will handle the customs clearance and inspection process. If requested, we can arrange a pet pickup service to deliver your pet to your door in Columbus.
