May Day is approaching, and many pet owners want to take pet owners to travel or go abroad! But the editor reminds you that if you want to bring your pets out of the country, you need to prepare some documents! Let me tell you how many certificates you must bring with you when your pets go abroad!

1. Health certificate, rabies immunization injection certificate, outbound certificate, rabies antibody test. Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, Norway and other countries need to go through the above procedures.

2. Pets entering South Korea need a health certificate, a rabies immunization injection certificate, and an outbound certificate. It is worth noting that there is a 10-day quarantine period after arriving in South Korea. If you withdraw pets, you need to provide a pet bill of lading or an over-regulated luggage certificate, a health certificate, a personal identity certificate, identification materials and pet characteristics matching, a power of attorney (if you are an agent), etc.

3. It is more complicated to bring pets into the UK, New Zealand and Australia, including the following aspects: implanting an electronic chip that can identify identity, applying for a health certificate at the transit place, rabies immunity certificate, serum testing, application for an entry permit, etc.

4. Pets entering Japan need to install electronic identity chips, undergo rabies immunization, serum testing, and serum sample testing. When companion dogs and cats leave the country, they must also apply to the exit port inspection and quarantine agency for clinical quarantine, and obtain an animal health certificate before they can be exported.

The above documents are ready, and you can happily take your pet to have a May Day holiday! I also wish the pet owners a happy time in advance!
