3 Steps Before Considering Pet Travel
1. Find an IPATA pet shipper
Pet shippers who are members of IPATA must follow ethical guidelines in pet travel and relocating animals worldwide. Canlife is a member of the International Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA) and Animal Transportation Association (ATA). It is also one of the few recognized local pet travel agents by Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong.
2. Research the country requirement
Requirements vary between countries – some require specific vaccinations while others require quarantine. Research your destination’s pet entry rules and prepare accordingly. Some countries, like Australia and New Zealand, might need a preparation time of at least 7 months.
3. Crate train your fur babies
Travelling might be stressful to your pet. Other than choosing an IATA compliant kennel that allows your pet to sit, stand and lie down comfortably, training them to relax and settle in the crate under complete darkness is equally important.
