Transport Your Unaccompanied Pets Anywhere in PH With 2GO Travel

• October 13, 2021

MANILA, 29 July 2021 – Pets can travel, too! Transport your beloved fur babies to major Philippine destinations aboard 2GO Travel, the largest premier sea travel provider in the country. The newly launched service aimed at bringing unaccompanied pets from origin to destination, was born out of necessity during this pandemic.

“We have been servicing passengers with accompanied pets, but recently, we put out a service to transport unaccompanied pets. Due to the travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic, wherein there is limited mobility, we received inquiries from pet owners on how to move their pets without them joining the voyages,” said 2GO Assistant Vice President Blessie Cruz on how 2GO Pet Travel came into being.

2GO Travel makes it simple and easy to transport unaccompanied cats and dogs of all breeds without third party service providers. Pets are especially accommodated in designated areas in all 2GO Travel vessels sailing to over 15 ports of call. Pet owners can book at least 24 hours before departure date through 2GO Travel’s hotline, in which pet travel agents will communicate the detailed list of requirements needed for the transport. The shipper must accomplish all forms and documents prior to travel, and provide the pet’s cage according to specification and food for the entire duration of travel.

On the day of departure, pet owners shall arrive with the pet six hours before the scheduled voyage. Upon pet acceptance at the terminal, a boarding staff will facilitate the turnover to the dedicated pet handler who oversees pets onboard and sends pre-advice notice upon departure and notice of arrival to consignee via short message service (SMS).

“We understand pet owners treat their cats and dogs like extended members of the family. By trusting us your fur babies, our team ensures TLC (tender loving care) onboard handling and safe voyages from origin to destination. We have trained pet handlers to take care of your pets aboard our vessels, and an on ground licensed veterinarian to consult with, should there be any emergency.”

On the other hand, 2GO Travel offers discounted fares to pet owners who want to go with their four-legged friends on a vacation from Manila to Cebu and Cagayan de Oro for as low as ₱199, and ₱299 from Batangas to Caticlan and Roxas. Destinations from Manila to Bacolod, Coron, Dumaguete, and Puerto Princesa are priced at ₱399, while Manila to Butuan, Iligan, Ozamiz, and Zamboanga are for ₱499 only. The one-way promo ticket is inclusive of 50kg baggage allowance and exclusive of meals and other fees, for selling on July 30 to August 5, 2021, and for sailing from September 1 to December 31, 2021.

For booking requests on Pet Travel, shippers may call our freight hotline (02) 8 528 7400, email [email protected], or visit any 2GO Freight Office.

To book your trip tickets, please visit 2GO Travel’s website, https://travel.2go.com.ph, call our hotline (02) 8 528 7000, email us at [email protected], or visit any 2GO outlet, authorized agent, and SM Business Center near you!

2GO Group Inc. is the Philippines’ largest and most integrated end-to-end transportation and logistics solutions provider.

The Ultimate Guide to Traveling with Your Pet in the Philippines

Traveling with your furry friends, whether dogs or cats, in the Philippines, is an adventure waiting to happen. Exploring pet-friendly destinations in this tropical paradise can be enhanced when you are well-prepared with the right essentials.

Benefits of Pet-Friendly Travel

Traveling with your beloved pets brings immense joy and strengthens your bond. Exploring new landscapes, like Manila's vibrant streets or Palawan's tranquil beaches, is an unforgettable experience for you and your furry companions.

The benefits of pet-friendly travel go beyond just shared experiences; they include:

• Companionship - Your pets are your loyal companions. Traveling with them eliminates loneliness and adds an extra layer of security.
• Reduced Stress - Your furry friends can provide emotional support and reduce travel-related stress.
• Exploration - Discover new pet-friendly destinations and activities catering to you and your pets.
• Quality Time - Traveling together creates lasting memories and strengthens the bond between you and your pets.
• Adventure - Pets love new experiences too! They get to explore new sights, smells, and sounds.

Understanding Pet Travel Requirements in the Philippines

●      Regulations and Policies of Airlines

Before booking your flight, review the specific pet policies of your chosen airline. Each carrier may have rules and regulations regarding pet size, breed restrictions, and crate requirements. Some airlines allow pets in the cabin, while others require pets to travel in the cargo hold. You'll also need to purchase a pet travel carrier that meets the airline's requirements.

●      Documentation and Paperwork

To ensure a seamless journey, gather all the necessary documentation before your travel date. This includes your pet's health certificates, vaccination records, and identification tags. These documents are invaluable for hassle-free travel and may be required by airlines and immigration authorities.

●      Health Certificates and Vaccinations

Consult your veterinarian to ensure your pets are up to date with vaccinations and meet the health requirements for travel, both domestically and internationally. Some countries may have specific requirements for imported pets, so having all the necessary vaccinations and certificates in order is essential.

Remember the importance of pet in s urance for added peace of mind in case of unexpected health issues during your travels.

Land Travel

●      Traveling with Pets Within the Country

For those road-tripping around the Philippines with their dogs and cats, research local regulations regarding pets. Keep an eye out for leash laws and other pet-related restrictions, which can vary from one region to another.

Conduct thorough research on the specific destinations you plan to visit. Always prioritize the safety and comfort of your furry companions, and respect local laws to ensure a smooth journey.

●      Safety Measures for Car Travel with Pets

Invest in secure pet carriers or safety harnesses to keep your pets safe during the journey. Make sure to take regular breaks for exercise, bathroom visits, and hydration.

Never leave your pets unattended in a parked vehicle, especially in hot weather. Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a vehicle can quickly rise to dangerous levels.

Preparing Your Pet for the Journey

Schedule a pre-travel visit to the vet clinic well before your trip to ensure your pets are in top health and free from parasites. Discuss any specific recommendations with your veterinarian, including needing a pet passport if you travel internationally. Your vet can also advise on managing your pets' health and well-being during the trip.

Packing Essentials

Assemble a comprehensive pet travel kit to ensure your pets are cared for throughout your journey. Some must-have items for your pet travel kit include:

• Leash - A handy dog and cat leash is essential for keeping your pets safe and under control during walks and breaks.
• Pet Crate - Look for a crate that can accommodate your pet’s size so they are safe and comfortable during the travel. Crate-train your pets before your trip so they get used to being inside their crate. There are dog crates and travel cages for cats available at Pet Express for pets of all sizes and breeds.
• Food and Water - Pack plenty of pet food, treats, and clean water for your journey.
• Pet Food Bowl - Portable food and water bowls are convenient for serving your pet’s meals on the go.
• Collars with ID Tags - Ensure your pets always wear proper identification with pet collars that come with ID tags.
• Pet Diapers and Waste Disposal Bags - Don’t forget to bring dog and cat diapers for travel . Responsible pet owners clean up after their pets, even on the road so make sure to pack enough disposal bags for their wastes.
• Medications - If your pets require medication, ensure you have an ample supply.
• Grooming Supplies - Brushing and grooming can keep your pets comfortable and reduce shedding during the trip.
• Comforting Items - Bring familiar blankets or toys to provide comfort and security for your pets during the journey.

Traveling to and from the Philippines with your dogs and cats can be a rewarding experience for you and your furry friends. Embark on a safe and enjoyable adventure by following pet travel requirements and having essential items such as a dog and cat leash, dog crate, and pet insurance. With a pet passport and knowledge of international pet travel requirements and documentation , you will be well-prepared for cross-border journeys.

Pack your bags, gather your beloved pets, and prepare for an unforgettable journey through the enchanting landscapes of the Philippines, where your loyal companions make every step of the way special!

International Pet Moves

Moving your pet around the world.

There are hundreds of details to attend to when moving a pet offshore. Regulations vary by destination and frequently change. Engaging Air Animal to manage your pet's international move will ensure a smooth transition for you and your pet. We move pets to more than 165 countries and we’ve posted average bundled prices for some of the most common overseas destinations on this page.

Let’s talk! Start your pet’s move well before your relocation date by telling us more using our online request .

• Start six to 12 months before immigrating with your pet to the Pacific rim countries - Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, the Fiji Islands.
• Start three months ahead when moving to Europe, the Middle East or Africa.
• Start two months ahead when moving to Central America, South America or the Caribbean.
• Start three weeks ahead when moving to Canada. See our domestic pricing for Canadian relocations.

Your pet relocation needs depend upon your pet’s species, breed, the number of pets relocating, each pet's weight, the flight kennel in which your pet flies, the origin, the destination, the pre-flight requirements, air transport charges, and in-transit care charges. That’s why we don’t do automated cookie-cutter replies. Sharing your plans using the online request allows your pet move manager to develop your itinerary and move proposal based on your move or flight date and thoughtful consideration of your needs.

Your international pet relocation average bundled price includes air cargo charges, relocation logistics, a pet travel kennel, laboratory charges for required blood tests, veterinary inspections, international health certificate preparation, in-transit care, pet hotel or quarantine if required, customs entry procedures, ground transport to a gateway airport if needed, and the specific requirements of the destination country.

Last minute cancellations and flight changes without notice still persist due to airline staffing and aircraft availability.  These situations are out of our control. We will try our best to assist and reschedule.  Air Animal will not compensate or reimburse for expenses when such situations arise.

Many clients call on us repeatedly and refer friends and family to us. Try us once and you'll understand why!

Pet Move Plan Ahead

Step 3: faqs.

De-stressing Your Move - Our Air Animal Pet Moving Made Easy ® App offers mobile and desktop concierge service exclusively for Air Animal clients. You’ll have your pet move and global tracking services in the palm of your hand. When you complete your online request your pet move manager will email your Air Animal App username and password. You will also receive scheduled email timelines outlining next steps before the move so you know exactly what is happening. You and your pet mover set the frequency of these updates.

Airline Partners - As an IATA-approved agency, Air Animal leverages pet transportation industry relationships and pet moving expertise built over more than 40 years to arrange your pet's move as live animal air cargo on commercial airlines. Pet moves by air are safer and cause less stress than moving your pet in the family car. Like all professional pet shipping companies, we are not a low-cost alternative to arranging your own move, nor do we own the planes.

The Industry Leader - Our longstanding relationships with commercial airlines and our intricate knowledge of the rules and regulations in over 165 countries have made Air Animal the top international animal shipping company in the United States. We know the international marketplace, quarantine issues, blood test and documentation requirements, and the preferred air carriers by destination better than anyone.

Booking Space - Space for pets is managed solely by the airlines. As an IATA-approved agency, Air Animal employs up-to-date online booking tools and reserves space for your pet when the airline offers a booking opportunity. We call these air waybills. Space is offered by airlines three to 30 days before the flight depending on the airline.

Ground Transport - If your pet is a large breed, ground transport to a gateway airport may be required. Wide body airplanes accommodating the extra-large and giant kennels are only available at gateway airports. Air Animal offers a nationwide network of service partners who will drive your pet to their departure airport.

The newly launched service aimed at bringing unaccompanied pets from origin to destination, was born out of necessity during this pandemic.

“We have been servicing passengers with accompanied pets, but recently, we put out a service to transport unaccompanied pets. Due to the travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic, wherein there is limited mobility, we received inquiries from pet owners on how to move their pets without them joining the voyages,” said 2GO Assistant Vice President Blessie Cruz on how 2GO Pet Travel came into being.

2GO Travel makes it simple and easy to transport unaccompanied cats and dogs of all breeds without third party service providers. Pets are especially accommodated in designated areas in all 2GO Travel vessels sailing to over 15 ports of call. Pet owners can book at least 24 hours before departure date through 2GO Travel’s hotline, in which pet travel agents will communicate the detailed list of requirements needed for the transport. The shipper must accomplish all forms and documents prior to travel, and provide the pet’s cage according to specification and food for the entire duration of travel .

On the day of departure, pet owners shall arrive with the pet six hours before the scheduled voyage.  Upon pet acceptance at the terminal, a boarding staff will facilitate the turnover to the dedicated pet handler who oversees pets onboard and sends pre-advice notice upon departure and notice of arrival to consignee via short message service (SMS).

“We understand pet owners treat their cats and dogs like extended members of the family. By trusting us your fur babies, our team ensures TLC (tender loving care) onboard handling and safe voyages from origin to destination. We have trained pet handlers to take care of your pets aboard our vessels, and an on ground licensed veterinarian to consult with, should there be any emergency.”

On the other hand, 2GO Travel offers discounted fares to pet owners who want to go with their four-legged friends on a vacation from Manila to Cebu and Cagayan de Oro, including Batangas to Caticlan and Roxas for as low as ₱199. Destinations from Manila to Bacolod, Coron, Iloilo, Dumaguete, and Puerto Princesa are priced at ₱299, while Manila to Butuan, Iligan, Ozamiz, and Zamboanga are for ₱399 only. The one-way promo ticket is inclusive of 50kg baggage allowance and exclusive of meals and other fees, for selling until July 28, 2021, and for sailing from September 1 to December 31, 2021.

For booking requests on Pet Travel, shippers may call our freight hotline (02) 8 528 7400, email  [email protected] , or visit any 2GO Freight Office.

BAI MC 43 Clarificatory Guidelines Re Documentary Requirements in the Application for SPSIC for Pets

NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR BRINGING PETS TO THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippine Consulate General informs the public of the revised requirements for the transport of pets from the United States to the Philippines:

• Import permit issued by the Philippine Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), which can be obtained from   https://www.intercommerce.com.ph/registrationbai.asp (detailed procedures for the import permit application may be found in Annex A below); and
• Health certificate issued by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian or USDA-accredited veterinarian, dated within 30 days of arrival in the Philippines.
• Mandatory identification of pet dog or cat with ISO compliant microchip / RFID (radio-frequency identification)

Failure to present these requirements may result in pet/s being quarantined upon arrival in the Philippines.

Effective June 01, 2018, dogs and cats imported without the required identification will be declined entry and returned to its origin. All costs incurred will be shouldered by the importer.

The public is further informed that authentication of the USDA Health Certificate by the Philippine Consulate General is no longer required.

ANNEX A: TRANSPORT OF PETS

REQUIREMENTS:

• Import permit issued by the Philippines’ Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI)
• Health certificate issued by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian or USDA-accredited veterinarian.

Note: the above requirements must be presented at the Philippine airport upon arrival of the pet. (Failure to present the requirements may result in pet/s being quarantined upon arrival).

PROCEDURES:

• To obtain an import permit from the Philippines’ Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI)
• Go to http://www.bai.da.gov.ph/ and click BAI ONE TIME LINK (almost at the bottom of the page). This leads to the form to fill out and submit.
• Alternately, do direct to https://www.intercommerce.com.ph/registrationbai.asp and fill out the form.

Applicant will be asked for a Username (email) and password, which will be used to check the status of the application. The status could be: 1) for Endorsement (meaning the application is waiting for the signature of the approving authority); 2) Approved; Rejected (the applicant will have to re-apply).

To check the status of the application, go to http://www.intercommerce.com.ph/home.asp or http://www.intercommerce.com.ph/login.asphome=HOME

If approved, click the reference number and it will bring applicant to the 3-page SPS permit.  Print the permit and present this at the Quarantine station in the airport (Philippines).

Approval usually takes 1-2 days.  Validity of the SPS permit is two months.

Please read the other requirements on the permit in order to import your pet(s), i.e. Veterinary Health Certificate and the updated Vaccination Record.

For the updated Vaccination Record, the following is needed:

DOGS: rabies vaccination and vaccination against distemper, leptospirosis, parvovirus, adenovirus type 2.

CATS: rabies vaccination and vaccination against herpes, calicivirus, panleukopenia and feline leukemia

• To obtain health certificate from US authority

Secure a health certificate for each pet from a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian or USDA-accredited veterinarian. The health certificate should be dated within 30days before the date of arrival in the Philippines.  The certificate should certify that the animal is free from, and has not been recently exposed to, any dangerous or communicable disease, and that it has been given anti-rabies and other required inoculation.

Dog Traveling 101: Here’s What You Need to Know

It’s no secret that pets are part of the family, and we’d take them anywhere in the world if we could. If you’re planning a flight for a vacation, it can be heartbreaking to leave your pup behind. 

Even leaving your pup in a doggy daycare or a pet sitter may feel off to some people. There are no guarantees that other people can take care of it the way we want, and it may even get stressed because you’ll be away for a long time. Plus, who wouldn’t want to take their dog somewhere new and exciting? Because of these, many of us wonder if we could bring them on a plane.

Despite our dogs being part of the family, however, bringing them to our flights can be more complicated than bringing other people along. There are numerous rules we have to follow and many factors we have to consider. It’ll require a lot of research and preparation before you can travel with Fido by plane.

Still, it’s possible to bring your pet to your flight. In this article, we will explore all the things you need to know about taking your dog on a plane in the Philippines.

Flying with Fido: Can You Take Your Dog on a Plane?

In many cases, you can take your dog on a flight. However, this does not mean you can just book an extra ticket so that your pup can sit beside you.

Dogs can either fly within the cabin (with you) or the cargo (with the luggage). The rules may vary depending on the airline, but many of them generally only permit the latter. However, some airlines allow service dogs in select cases.

It’s also best to note that many airlines don’t transport certain breeds of dogs, particularly brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs, so it’s crucial to check the policies carefully.

With this, let’s discuss the policies of some mainline airlines in the Philippines.

Philippine Airlines (PAL)

According to Philippine Airlines’ policies , pets aren’t allowed in cabins and can only fly as cargo, with the exception of trained service dogs on US flights. A passenger with a disability can take two service dogs on US flights and only one on domestic and other international flights.

Accepted dogs in the cargo should also:

• Be inside a secure, leak-proof crate with a hard case
• Have valid vaccination records and permits from the Philippine Bureau of Animal Industry
• Be on a flight with passengers at least 12 years old

PAL also states that you must contact them at least 48 hours before your flight to ensure that you and your dog can stay in a plane that can carry animals safely and comfortably.

Because PAL deems brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs “susceptible to increased risk of heat stroke and breathing problems when exposed to stress or heat,” the airline doesn’t allow transport of several breeds, such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pugs, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, Bulldogs, and Shih Tzus—including mixed-breed individuals. However, this restriction does not apply to service dogs that will travel within the cabin. 

Those traveling with their dogs in the cargo will have to pay fees that vary depending on the destination country and the weight of their pup—this can range from 1,000 PHP to over 20,000 PHP. The airline deems pets as “excess baggage” regardless of whether the passenger has any other luggage or not.

Cebu Pacific Airlines

Like PAL, Cebu Pacific also only allows service or emotional support dogs in the cabins. Here are a few reminders you must remember when traveling with your service dog:

•  Only one service dog will be allowed per passenger.
• You must bring your dog’s complete vaccination records and permits from the Philippine Bureau of Animal Industry .
• Your dog can’t occupy a seat in the cabin.
• You must bring plastic-backed absorbent pads for when your pup needs to relieve itself. 
• You’ll be fully responsible for its care, cleanup, and necessary government clearances.

Cebu Pacific also allows dogs, cats, and turtles to board the plane as air cargo for domestic flights within the Philippines. However, you’ll have to call the airline in advance to let them know you’re traveling with a pet. You must also:

• Have your pet’s full vaccination records
• Secure a quarantine permit from a Quarantine Officer within the airport’s pre-departure area (NAIA Terminal 3) or the Old Domestic Terminal (NAIA Terminal 4)
• Bring your pet in a crate that follows IATA guidelines
• Attach all necessary documents securely to the crate

Cebu Pac also asks those planning to travel with brachycephalic dogs to exercise caution—they advise pet parents to get crates that are double the minimum allowed dimensions for the dog’s body size.

AirAsia generally doesn’t allow the transport of animals on board . The only exceptions are AirAsia India (i5 flights) and AirAsia Japan (DJ flights), which allows service animals to travel with passengers. 

Sunlight Air

Sunlight Air allows pets to travel on board as long as they fit either of the two categories:

• The cargo meets all the IATA Live Animals Regulations , regulations on the area of origin, transit, and destination, and the animal is properly contained
• The animal is a service animal that accompanies a passenger with a disability

Other Things to Note When Traveling with Your Dog

It’s crucial to call your preferred airline when you book your trip and at least two days before your scheduled flight. When you do so, you can inquire about the necessary documents and requirements, the airline’s specific policies, and the fees you must pay. 

You must also remember that some airlines may refuse pets on flights if the weather conditions are deemed too dangerous for the animals.

Final Question: Does Doggy Really Need to Go?

While the prospect of traveling with your dog can be exciting, it entails a lot of effort and money. Also, flight can be a highly stressful experience for animals. Your dog will spend a lot of time alone in a scary, unfamiliar place, and you can’t guarantee its safety unless you have the option to take it with you in the cabin. \

With this in mind, consider if you really need to take your pet with you on your flight. Many vets and pet parents recommend only taking your dog with you when it’s absolutely necessary.

What are the requirements for a Pet Passport Philippines?

Depending on your pet’s species, age and where you are traveling from/to, the requirements for a Pet Passport Philippines can be any of the following:

• Additional vaccinations
• Parasite treatments

MICROCHIPPING

Dogs and cats must be microchipped in order to obtain a pet passport Philippines. It is also a requirement for entering most countries. 

A microchip is a permanent method of electronic identification. The chip is around the size of a grain of rice – and is implanted just under your pet’s skin between its shoulder blades. Each chip has a unique number that is detected using a microchip scanner.

Not only is it a requirement to enter the Philippines with a pet, it is highly recommended your pet is microchipped. This is because if you were to lose your pet while, a microchip makes it far more likely that you will be reunited.

We recommend that microchipping your pet is the first step in the process of obtaining a Filipino pet passport. This is because in many countries your pet’s rabies vaccination won’t be valid unless your pet is microchipped first.

Not all countries require pets to have microchips fitted before traveling, however most of them do. It is also highly recommended for all pets to increase the likelihood you are your pet being reunited if lost.

RABIES VACCINATION

Dogs and cats (above the age of 3 months) require rabies vaccinations when traveling to most countries, including the Philippines. If your pet is not a dog or cat, he or she will not need a rabies vaccination. Instead, your pet will likely require an official health certificate to travel to the Philippines. Please see below for more information on health certificates.

In order to obtain a Pet Passport Philippines, dogs and cats will need to have their rabies vaccination between 30 days and 12 months prior to entering the country.

The Philippines recognises both 1-year rabies vaccinations, and 3-year vaccinations.

You can get your pet’s rabies vaccination at your local vet, alternatively some charities offer this service for free or for a discounted price. However, please note that all vaccines must be administered by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian or USDA-accredited veterinarian.

Not only is a rabies vaccination a requirement to export a pet from the Philippines, most countries require a rabies vaccination before pet importation.

For domestic transport, your dog or cat must be no less than 3 1/2 months of age if vaccinated for rabies at 91 days of age. Your pet’s rabies certificate must show that their rabies vaccination was between 2 weeks and 12 months of export.

ADDITIONAL VACCINES

In order to get a Pet Passport Philippines to import pets to the Philippines , dogs and cats must also have additional vaccines, on top of their rabies vaccine. 

For a pet passport Philippines, dogs should be vaccinated against the following:

• infectious hepatitis
• Leptospirosis
• Adenovirus type 2,

For a pet passport Philippines, cats should be vaccinated against the following:

• Calicivirus
• Feline Pan Leukopenia
• Feline Leukemia

These vaccinations must be administered between 30 days and 12 months prior to entering the Philippines. All vaccines must be administered by a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) veterinarian or USDA-accredited veterinarian.

If you are exporting pets from the Philippines , dogs and cats require additional vaccines on top of their rabies vaccination.

To export dogs from the Philippines, they must be vaccinated against the following:

To export cats from the Philippines, they must be vaccinated against the following:

Your pet may also require more vaccinations, depending on the country that you are visiting, as different countries and territories have different requirements.

For example – Turkey requires that all dogs need vaccines against parainfluenza, leptospirosis, parvovirus, bordetella, hepatitis and distemper before being allowed into the country. 

Check whether your destination country requires additional vaccinations.

TAPEWORM TREATMENT (DOGS ONLY)

In order to get a Pet Passport Philippines to import pets to the Philippines , dogs will need to be treated against tapeworm. This doesn’t apply to cats or other pet species. 

All dogs must be wormed by a vet, with this recorded in their pet passport.

The treatment must contain praziquantel and must be administered by a veterinarian. This needs to be done within 48 hours of entry to the Philippines. If you fail to have your dog treated within this time scale, then he or she may be put into quarantine.

This is a requirement for dogs to enter some countries, including the UK, Finland, Malta or Norway. Check if this is a requirement for your destination country.

PERMITS & LICENSES

All pets will need to obtain a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance form prior to entering the Philippines. Filipinos will need to apply for a Notarised Affidavit of Undertaking license, and foreigners will need to apply for a Undertaking of Foreign Importers form. You may also require a Proforma Invoice (cargo only).

Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance / Import Permit

All pets entering the Philippines under any circumstances must be issued a Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Clearance form from the Philippines’ Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI).

• Alternately, do direct to  https://www.intercommerce.com.ph/registrationbai.asp  and fill out the form.

To check the status of the application, go to  http://www.intercommerce.com.ph/home.asp  or  http://www.intercommerce.com.ph/login.asphome=HOME .

Approval usually takes 1-2 days. You also have the option to apply by sending a letter, however this will of course take longer.

You will need to apply for an export permit to export pets from the Philippines. Furthermore, you may need an import permit to bring pets to another country.

A veterinary health certificate must be submitted and endorsed by the National Veterinary Quarantine Service (NVQS) prior to your pet’s export permit being issued. Your pet can be inspected at this agency or a health certificate can be issued by a private vet no sooner than 3 days of visiting the NVQS.

Many countries require import permits when visiting with pets, these usually must be issued from your destination country or province.

For example, if you are traveling to Thailand with your pet, you must obtain a import permit from the Thai Department of Livestock Development (DLD).

Check whether your destination country requires an import permit.

HEALTH CERTIFICATE

In order to obtain a Pet Passport to import your pet to the Philippines , you will need a health certificate. 

As mentioned above, you will need a health certificate to import pets to the Philippines. You can obtain a health certificate from your veterinary clinic within 30 days of entry to the Philippines.

Your pet’s health certificate must also be endorsed by your home country’s Governing Authority responsible for the import and export of animals. For example, if you are traveling from the US, you will need your documents endorsed by the USDA. If you are traveling from Canada, you will need to have your documents endorsed by CFIA.

TRAVELING FROM  THE PHILIPPINES

If you are exporting pets from the Philippines , you will need a health certificate endorsed by the National Veterinary Quarantine Service (NVQS) in the Philippines.

A health certificate is a compulsory requirement to export pets from the Philippines, it is also a requirement to enter many countries. In most cases, your health certificate will also need to be endorsed by the country’s authority responsible for the import and export of animals. For example, if you are traveling from the US, you will need your documents endorsed by the USDA. If you are traveling from Canada, you will need to have your documents endorsed by CFIA.

Check the specific entry requirements for your destination country.

CITES PERMIT

If your pet is covered by CITES regulations, then it is subject to 30 days of quarantine in the originating country and will be subject to 30 days of quarantine in the Philippines. 

If you are traveling with a domestic dog or cat, then you will not need a CITES permit, this is generally just the case for some reptiles and parrots. You can check whether your pet is protected here .

Flying into the Philippines with a pet

Whether you are flying with your pet or it will be flying without you, it is important to choose an airline that serves the entire route from beginning to end. Before selecting an airline you will need to check their pet policies to ensure that they will allow your pet to fly. Will the airline allow your dog or cat to fly in the cabin with you? What are the restrictions? Will your pet need to travel in the cargo hold? Another option for airline pet travel is by private charter. Although this is more expensive than commercial airlines, pets will fly in the cabin with their owners in luxury, regardless of their size.

BEFORE YOU FLY

You are permitted to bring up to three dogs or cats with you – if you are planning on bringing more you will need to get in contact with Philippines’ Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI). If bringing more than 5 animals, an inspection of the residence is also required.

Book your flight into an approved port of entry – pet animals can only enter the Philippines through the ports of Manila or Cebu.

Ensure you have the correct carrier – pets are required to travel in an appropriate cage according to its size and weight if travelling as freight. The requirements will differ depending on your airline, and whether your pet will travel in the cabin or the cargo. Generally, only dogs and cats weighing less than 5 kg can travel in the cabin in an agreed bag (depending on your airline). Carriers and crates must be leak proof.

Animals must be accompanied by a passenger over the age of 12  – the accompanying passenger assumes full responsibility for the animals.

ONCE YOU LAND

Clinical examination and document check – after arrival you will need to bring the your pet, along with the original health documents, to the Quarantine Station. The quarantine officer will verify your pet’s veterinary health certificate and vaccination records. Additionally, your pet will have a clinical examination/quarantine observation to ensure your pet is healthy and disease free. The animal/(s) will be examined clinically at the Quarantine Station for issuing Provisional Quarantine Clearance Certificate.

If the dog or cat is/are free from any clinical illness as well as the documents including veterinary certificate/ vaccination records are found in order, quarantine isn’t usually required. However, if the pet is detected with any signs of clinical illness during inspection, then they will be placed in quarantine.

FLIGHT OPTIONS

Accompanied cargo / in the cabin – generally, small inoffensive domestic pets such as dogs, cats and birds, accompanied by valid Health and Rabies vaccination certificates, will be accepted on domestic flights in the cabin or in cargo hold at owner’s risk and subject to requirements of the carrier. This is usually not an option for international flights, however it differs between airlines.

Manifest cargo – manifest cargo is a system wherein the import of pet is done using the airline cargo. If the pet is being transported in this manner, the documents must include of copy of the passport of the owner/caretaker, a copy of the owner/caretaker’s e-ticket and a copy of the air way bill.

What airlines allow flying a pets to the Philippines?

Most airlines allow flying pets to the Philippines. However, depending on the airline you fly with, pet policies differ.

When flying with a pet, it’s important to check airline pet policies before booking any travel. Different airline’s have different rules for flying with pets, including which breeds are allowed, the size and weight of pets that are permitted, and the number of pets they allow. Fees also vary between airlines.

Most airlines will allow pets to fly in the cargo section of their planes, in a climate controlled, comfortable pet zone. Although some pet owners think this will be stressful for their pets, it can actually be a lot calmer than flying in the cabin.

Some airlines will allow pets to fly in the cabin with their owners, but generally only small dogs and cats that weigh under 8kg are permitted. This is because they must fly inside an airline-approved carrier that fits under the seat in front of their owners.

Philippine Airlines allows pets to fly on both domestic and regional flights. Just like with excess baggage, the fee will be calculated depending on weight:

Domestic flights: Up to 20 kg – PHP 1,000 per 5 kg (e.g., 11 kg – PHP 3,000). 15.1 kg up to 50 kg – PHP 2,000 per 10 kg (e.g., 37 kg – PHP 8,000).

Regional flights  – depending on the total weight (pet + container): 1-4 kg – 100% EBR for 5 kg. 5 kg and above – 100% EBR for the actual weight.

Guidelines for Pet Carriers

If you are flying to the Philippines with a pet, it is important that you use a pet carrier that is approved by your airline. Different airlines have different pet carrier policies, which often vary between aircrafts and routes. Check that your pet carrier is approved for your chosen airline, aircraft and route. 

The rules and regulations have been set out by International Air Transport Association (IATA) ensure that dogs are comfortable when travelling. Thus, inside their travel carriers, pets must be able to stand up, turn around and lie down in a natural position in their kennel (without touching any side or the top of the container).

Furthermore, the rules for pet carriers also vary depending on whether your pet will be flying in the cabin or cargo area of the plane.

If you are travelling in the cabin with your dog or cat, then you will need to ensure that the carrier fits under the seat in front of you. This is why, generally, only small dogs and cats weighing under 7-8kg are permitted in the cabin.

Additionally, if traveling with a dog, airlines often require that he or she is be obedient to your commands and can behave appropriately in public. Thus, he mustn’t bark or growl at other passengers or staff. If your dog does not behave in an appropriate manner, some airlines may transfer him to the cargo hold at an additional cost, or refuse to transport him all together. Some airlines require a consent form to ensure your pet is flight-ready.

MOST AIRLINES ONLY ACCEPT CAGES THAT COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING IATA REGULATIONS:

• The cage must not have wheels
• It must have a solid roof
• The screws and nuts that hold the lower and upper parts of the cage must be properly installed and tightened – because yes, the cage must consist of two sections, made of solid and rigid plastic
• The cage must also include bowls firmly attached to its lower wall containing food and water
• It must be clean, but also and above all waterproof and covered with materials capable of absorbing liquid materials
• It must be well ventilated, with openings in all 4 sides of the cage
• The cage must also be properly closed, using a lock that cannot be opened from the inside
• Finally, it must bear a label distinguishing the top from the bottom and another indicating that the cage contains a live animal

For a list of airlines that allow dogs to fly in the cabin with their owners, check  13 Airlines That Allow Flying With Dogs In-Cabin [Prices & Policies] .

How much does a Pet Passport Philippines cost?

The cost of a Pet Passport Philippines can vary drastically. The price you pay will depend on the following:

• Your home country
• Where you are traveling to
• The veterinary clinic that you visit
• The species of your pet
• Whether your pet already has a microchip and rabies vaccination

Firstly, different countries and veterinary clinics will have different prices for veterinary treatments and vaccinations. If you want to save some money, check the prices of a few different veterinary clinics.

Furthermore, different countries have different requirements for importing pets.

Additionally, some pets species may require more treatments and vaccines than others. For example, dogs require more vaccinations than cats, when traveling to the Philippines. Alternatively, rodents, rabbits, reptiles and amphibians do not require any vaccinations.

If your pet already has a microchip, and a recent rabies vaccination, you will probably pay less for your Filipino pet passport. Generally, a microchip and rabies vaccination both costs between $20-60 each, in the USA.

How long does it take to get a Pet Passport Philippines?

It may take up around 1 month to get your pet a pet passport Philippines to import a pet into the Philippines .

Getting your pet’s microchip, vaccinations and health certificate shouldn’t take long, just a quick appointment at the vet. However, you will need to wait at least 30 days after getting your pet’s rabies vaccination, before you can enter the Philippines.

Furthermore, you will need to apply for a sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance permit, which can be obtained in person in the Philippines or online. The certificate generally takes 5 working days to obtain, however it can take longer. You will also need to apply for a Notarised Affidavit of Undertaking (Filipinos) or Undertaking of Foreign Importers form (non-Filipinos). If you are shipping your pet via air cargo, you will also need to apply for a proforma invoice.

To save time, when making an appointment be sure to advise the veterinarian staff that you want to get a pet passport. This will ensure that they have everything required in stock and will allow them time to prepare.

To export a pet from the Philippines , it may take you longer than a day to get your complete pet passport.

Different countries have different requirements for importation of pets, so the time depends on where you are traveling to. For example, if you are traveling to a country that requires a rabies titer test (rabies blood test), the process will take longer. In these cases, you should allow yourself at least 4 months to prepare. This is because you must wait 30 days after your pet’s rabies vaccination to have their blood sample taken. Once you have your results back, you must then wait an additional 3 months before your pet is permitted to travel.

Give your veterinary clinic a call to confirm roughly how long it will take them based on where you are going.

Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs]

What are the requirements to return to Philippines after travel?

An EU Pet Passport permits pets to travel to EU countries and listed non-EU countries without having to face quarantine.

Yes, many people relocate to the Philippines each year. As long as you follow the guidelines above then moving to the Philippines with a pet should be simple. This means, making sure that your pet has any required vaccinations and has all the documents required to enter the country.

Obtaining a pet passport to bring your pet to the Philippines can be a little complicated. Firstly, your pet (dogs and cats) will require a microchip. They will also need a valid rabies vaccination, one that has been administered between 30 days and 1 year prior to entering the Philippines, and a health certificate. Pet species other than dogs and cats will not require microchipping or a rabies vaccination, however you will require a health certificate and an approval letter from the Philippines’ Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI).

When organising travel, ensure that your chosen airline allows your pet to fly on their planes. Different airlines have different pet policies, some may allow your pet to travel with you in the cabin, where others will only allow pets in the cargo area.

Quarantine in the Philippines is not common, however if your pet is shown to have any signs of disease upon clinical inspection, they will be quarantined.

If you are exporting a pet from the Philippines to another country, the requirements vary a lot as each country has its own entry requirements. However, it is likely that your pet will need a microchip, rabies vaccination and health certificate.

Fly With Me

By angela passman.

I decided to write this book for several reasons. The first is when I realized that there isn’t really a lot on this topic available. Unlike pretty much everything else, where there is a wealth of information to sort through on the internet, when it comes to pet shipping and transportation, well, to say it’s lacking is an understatement! There isn’t a whole lot out there. It’s a real struggle trying to find information about the rules and regulations, about the actual process, about what an owner needs to do for a pet before the move, during the move, and even after the move.

It is recommended that you give at least 1.5-2.5 months advance notice before departure. We need time to prepare import and export documents and contact airlines and customs. Airlines require pet cargo/excess baggage to be reserved for pets. Additionally, some countries such as Australia, Singapore and Taiwan require at least 2-3 months advance notice. These countries have their own quarantine policies. We need to make an appointment and contact the customs import department to take further steps, such as booking a quarantine space and customs inspection.

Pet passports are not available in Hong Kong or China. They are only provided for pets originating from the US, UK, and EU countries, which enable the transport of cats and dogs from UK to other EU nations. Additional requirements may apply to some countries. Instead, pet health certificates are used for pet import and export from Hong Kong or China. An official veterinarian or authorized veterinarian must complete and issue the certificate, which is then signed by the relevant authority. The certificate is valid for a certain period depending on the country of destination and identity check at the port of entry. The health certificate for Philippines pet immigration should include the pet’s name, chip number, identity, and vaccination records. If you need more information on Philippines pet import, please consult our professional team.

In addition to vaccination preparation and export documentation, your pet may require an import permit to enter certain countries. Some countries require pet immigration companies to prepare these import documents. Please contact our professional team.

To ensure a smooth pet travel experience, there are several documents that you will need to provide to the airline. These include the original pet health certificate issued by a veterinarian, vaccination records for your pet, a statement letter from the live animal shipper, and an air waybill for the cargo.

Traveling by air is as safe for pets as it is for people. Airlines require pets to travel in containers that comply with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Live Animal Regulations and with specific airline guidelines. All of these things are designed to help ensure the safety and comfort of your pet while traveling. In some cases, your pet may not be allowed to travel in the cabin with you. Your pet will travel in a special cargo compartment within the aircraft. This compartment is both climate-controlled as well as pressurized, so your pet will be safe and comfortable. It is on the same air circulation system as the cabin.

Our Policy is to transport your pet with the minimum amount of stress involved. We will find the most direct route available, with little time spent confined in the kennel as possible. Additionally, there are certain products you can purchase, such as Feliway, which is a natural pheromone to induce a calmer state.

Your pet will be pleased to see you and will probably enjoy a good meal at the end of their flight, but most animals travel very well and relax throughout the flight. There are more than a million pets that fly safely every year worldwide, and the captain will act appropriately if there are any animals aboard.

We can let you know if this is possible if you let us know which airline you will be flying with and on which day. We will make every effort to book cargo space on the same flight as your pet. To avoid you incurring unnecessary costs, it is advisable for us to check availability for pets before you book your own flight if you wish to travel at the same time

It is advised by every airline that pets do not travel wearing a collar of any kind as they are deemed a choking hazard. However, they will be able to travel with the containers attached to their airline-approved crate in order to be able to refit them when they reach their destination. 

Yes, your dog/cat can be booked as manifest cargo and can fly alone to most locations.

Both   passengers  and   crew are  not   permitted  access to the cargo hold .  During  refueling   and   transit stops, passengers will not  be   permitted  access to their pets .

Unfortunately, little accidents sometimes do happen, so the crates are lined with absorbable puppy training pads to help soak up any little accidents that do occur. Like humans, your pet may experience a little dehydration during the flight, which will reduce the need for urination. Also, do not feed your pet the morning before travel as this may increase the risk of defecation or vomiting.

When you travel with your pet and you both check in at the passenger terminal, this is termed ‘excess baggage,’ however, your pet will still travel in the animal hold. Air Cargo can be used when you travel with your pet or if your pet is traveling without you. Your pet will be checked in through the cargo terminal at your departing airport and the cargo terminals of modern-day airports are used to handling and caring for animals. Some even have specialized rooms for holding animals.
