How do I import my dog?
How do I bring my dog to another country?
There are three ways you can ship your pet via the airlines:

Your pet can travel on the plane with you (either in-cabin, as accompanied baggage, or as cargo). Your pet will be charged accordingly. Some airlines no longer offer this option and some countries do not allow pets to enter the country in-cabin.
You can book your pet on a separate flight.  You will be charged the cargo rate, which is considerably more than excess baggage. However, most airlines no longer allow pet owners to book their pets directly with the airline as cargo.
You can have your pet shipped through a licensed commercial shipper. You will be charged the cargo rate plus the pet shipper’s fee. Many airlines now require this method unless your pet is small enough to fit in the cabin.
