Find out about the professionals who can ensure your pet is fit and ready to make the journey to Thailand...
It is essential to ensure that the pet is eligible to travel not only to or from Thailand but also any other countries it may pass through.
If the animal is travelling on the same plane as its owner, try to send it as excess baggage rather than as cargo. This is generally much cheaper. The animal must travel in an approved container, which must be big enough for the animal to stand, sit and turn during the journey. The container must allow adequate ventilation. If the journey is longer than a few hours, food and drink may need to be supplied. Consult the appropriate airline or carrier for details as not all airlines will carry caged animals across borders. Enquire about the airline's services and requirements well ahead of time and if possible get agreement in writing.
Allow plenty of time to check in as the authorities will go through all documents before allowing travel.
