Traveling with animals

Traveling with cats, dogs and other fine pets, including small fishes, faces significant restrictions in many countries.
On import of such animals the veterinary certificate from a clinic, confirming that the animal is healthy and inoculations are made, is required.
If you have decided to travel with pets you will need the veterinary certificate and an inoculation against furiousness (it is valid since 10 days from date of an inoculation and not later than 9 months). Many countries require that inoculations have been made not less than three months prior to departure.
At flying, before registration, you should visit boundary veterinary control of the airport, where on the basis of collected before documents it is necessary to receive the international veterinary certificate. On a trip the dog of any breed and the size should be in a muzzle.
At booking the ticket you should warn, that the animal will depart with you. The dog or cat’s ticket is bought at the airport. Its cost is being counted as cost of above permitted standard luggage, proceeding from weight of the animal, but under tariffs of the first class even if the dog will depart in a luggage space. In a train the dog can follow in one compartment with the owner if other fellow travelers in a compartment do not object it. Otherwise it is necessary to buy the whole compartment plus the dog ticket.
Cats should follow in special bags (baskets). Before the departure the owner may ask for the soothing injection.
In many countries imported animals are located in quarantine:
• On Taiwan and Cuba - for 14 days,
• In the USA - for 1 month,
• Sweden - for 4 months, on Malta, Cyprus and the Great Britain - for 6 months.
All this is on a paid basis (from 150 up to 500 dollars).
Any information on transportation of animals can be received at any airport. At the sehotel (where it is allowed) the tourist with an animal should book a double room as it is considered, that the own vital space is required.
