How to travel with your pet: basic rules.

According to the latest data, in every second family there is a dog or cat, bird or rabbit. When leaving the Russian Federation, taking your pet with you, you need to be patient, as a number of difficulties may lie in wait for you.

First of all, you need to think in advance how long-distance transportation of a pet is necessary. Especially if you travel to countries with a tropical climate, where many infections are common and it is more likely that the animal may receive heat stroke.

Rules for the export of animals
This is the initial stage when traveling with your beloved animal and you need to take into account that trouble-free transportation can only be when there is a special veterinary passport. List of requirements to be prepared in advance:

• It is necessary to get a large number of certificates from the veterinarian and documents confirming the passage of preliminary preparation, namely: about vaccination against rabies, a note that the animal has undergone anthelmintic treatment.

• The animal must undergo an operation in which a chip is inserted under the skin. This will help you find it anywhere.

• Two to three weeks before vaccination, deworm with special medicines.

All vaccinations must be stamped with the stamp of the veterinary institution. Without its presence, all documents can be considered invalid. Also, about three days before the trip, you need to visit the clinic familiar to the pet. The vet will examine him and confirm that the animal is quite healthy. For example, when visiting Hungary, such a document is definitely not enough. Each country may have additional requirements for the transport of animals, so it is better to familiarize yourself with the rules so that there are no problems when passing through border control.
Ways to properly transport an animal
A mandatory requirement for transportation is the cage in which the pet is placed. It should be suitable for all established standards. Expanse play an important role, as the pet needs to turn and get up. A cage with an animal takes a separate place for luggage and is paid extra.

If you are traveling with a large dog, do not forget to bring a muzzle, a collar and a strong leash with you. For small breeds, besides all this, a special bag is needed. Although these points are not indicated in the rules, you should take care of these little things for your convenience.
