How Does Pet Exportation Work?
Pet exportation is bringing your pet abroad via In-Cabin, Checked in Baggage or as Manifested Cargo.
There are multiple ways for your pet to travel abroad and we will explain them here.
1. In-Cabin : This refers to pets travelling inside the passenger area a.k.a cabin of the airplane. Your pet can travel in-cabin as long as they meet the airline’s criteria.
2. Checked-in Baggage : When your pet is too big for the cabin, they can be checked in as excess baggage.
3. Manifested Cargo : Pets can travel without their owners through this method. Pets are placed at an area inside the plane similar to the cabin with regulated temperature and ventilation.
The basic requirements for exporting are as follows:
1. Your pet must at least be 4 months of age.
2. Your pet must be microchipped.
3. Pet passport or vaccination records with updated vaccinations and deworming.
4. Your pet must have a valid rabies vaccination not less than 30 days before the flight.
5. Veterinary Health Certificate from your private veterinarian
6. Export Permit from the Bureau of Animal Industry
There are countries which have special tests and requirements. You can check with their policies or you can consult with us directly.
The cost to transport a pet will depend on the following factors:
1. Airline rates
2. Season – Peak season or not?
3. Special tests required by the destination country
4. Your pet’s crate size. We have a detailed diagram on how to measure your pet’s height

A “Pet Nanny” is someone who is in charge of escorting your pet to the destination country. Your pet will either be as checked-in baggage or be accompanied in cabin depending on the airline’s pet acceptance policy.
The nanny will be responsible for customs clearance, releasing and settling the taxes upon arrival at the destination country.
***Due to the pandemic, pet nanny services are limited at the moment.
