Paperwork

There is a lot of paperwork involved in following Travel Rules; a lot of repetition. But it just goes with the territory.

Hints:

  • Take copies of everything with you
  • Double check everything your vet writes on certificates and permits (both at home and overseas) as mistakes aren't tolerated. This goes for treatments given as well.
  • On your travels, make sure you keep the paperwork required to bring your dog home
  • Have paperwork handy to show at any point but only surrender paperwork when you are sure you won't need it again (otherwise insist on a copy)
