Travelling with pets

• Since 2024, dogs must be at least 6 months old, microchipped and registered with the CDC Dog Import Form; extra rules apply if they have been in a country at high risk for rabies.
• Cats have no federal rabies rule, but some states do.
• Airlines have their own rules (cabin pets usually under about 8 kg with the bag, snub-nosed breeds often refused in the hold): book your pet's place early.
• Heat can be dangerous for pets: avoid walks in the middle of the day, and never leave them in a car.
• Check the rules to come back home too: they can be stricter than for leaving.

These rules change and depend on your situation: always check with the official sources and your embassy before you leave. GoZzzy gives general information and cannot be held responsible.
