International Pet Travel: What Documents Might You Need?

International pet travel may require identification records, vaccination certificates, veterinary health certificates, laboratory test results, import or export permits, parasite-treatment records and, in some cases, quarantine arrangements. The exact documents depend on your pet's species, country of origin, destination, transit countries, travel history and purpose of travel. Some countries recognise specific pet passports, while others require official certificates issued or endorsed shortly before departure. Certain birds, reptiles and other regulated species may also need wildlife-trade permits. Always verify the complete itinerary with official government authorities and transport providers, and begin preparations early because some requirements take months to complete.

Sharing Your Pet's Medical Records With a New Vet: What You Need to Know

When changing veterinarians, ask your previous clinic to transfer your pet's medical records to the new practice before the first appointment. Important documents include medical history, vaccination records, medications, allergies, laboratory results, diagnostic images, surgical reports and specialist recommendations. Confirm that the new clinic has received everything and keep a personal copy where possible. Record-access rules, consent requirements and transfer procedures vary by country.

Travelling With a Rabbit: What Guardians Need to Know

Travelling with a rabbit requires careful planning because rabbits are sensitive to stress, overheating, changes in routine and interruptions to eating. Use a secure, well-ventilated carrier with non-slip flooring, provide appropriate hay, maintain a safe temperature and minimise unnecessary handling. Monitor food intake, droppings and behaviour before, during and after the journey. Never deliberately fast a rabbit for travel. For long journeys, international travel or rabbits with medical conditions, consult a rabbit-experienced veterinarian in advance. If your rabbit stops eating or producing droppings, seek urgent veterinary advice.

What Information Should You Keep in Your Pet's Profile?
