If you’re a pet owner who is preparing to embark on a timeshare vacation out of the country with your furry-friend close by, preparation is key.<\/p>\n

Follow our pet-travel guide and begin to prepare systematically at least two months before traveling with your pet.<\/p>\n

1. Paperwork<\/b>. First things first: collect all the necessary paperwork related to your pet\u2019s health. The demands and restrictions of bringing pets into an area are country-specific, which means you\u2019ll need to do new research each time you and your pet visit a different country. For each new destination, you will have to learn about government regulations<\/a> concerning traveling with pets, and these can vary wildly. <\/p>\n

Your vet should provide you with a mandatory pet passport<\/b> and also offer travel related advice for your pet. Alternatively, if you are visiting the EU from a non-EU country, the pet will need an official veterinary certificate specific for that country. This paper guarantees your pet a four-month stay abroad, but only if you cross the border in less than ten days from the date of the veterinary certificate issuance.<\/p>\n

The demands are easiest to comply with when traveling within the EU. Prior to all other requirements, you need to microchip<\/b> the traveling pets. Then you can take them for the rabies vaccination, but plan this well ahead, as there is the minimum 21-day waiting period before the vaccinated pet can leave the country.<\/p>\n

If you own a dog, a tapeworm treatment is required for most countries, and it must be performed up to five days before the departure date.<\/p>\n

2. Flying with your pet.<\/b> Before buying the plane tickets, check if your carrier and the route in question are approved for pet travel. Naturally, you want your pet as an in-cabin traveler, right by your side, if possible.  <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Research online to find flights from your nearest airport<\/a> which allow in-cabin pets<\/b>. There are also breed restrictions, so your dog stands a better chance if it is small.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t already own one, shop for an adequate dog or cat transporter<\/b>. Ask the airline client-support staff about the allowed transporter dimensions.<\/p>\n

If you are an owner of a ferret or another small animal, it will need to travel separately as a checked cargo. Most other small pets such as turtles, birds or fish need less paperwork than dogs, cats and ferrets, and these pets must also travel in the cargo section.<\/p>\n

The easiest task to do when you decide to take your pets on holiday is to search for a pet-friendly timeshare resort<\/a>. Many resorts are now competing in this respect, so treat your pet with a stylish holiday with minimum hassle so you and your beloved fur-ball can have a holiday to remember.<\/p>\n
