Paperwork & Permits
Prepared by a USDA-accredited -Veterinarian and endorsed by a local USDA-APHIS office. A permit is required when relocating your pets to China that our experts will help you with.
Veterinarian Credentials
Our coordinators have a ton of USDA accredited veterinarians that we trust and have worked with before to ensure your pet gets all of the proper paperwork and treatments required for travel. There are credentials required and you’d be amazed how many times someone’s family vet doesn’t have the proper credentials to ensure your pet has everything they need for travel.
Quarantine and Layovers
Upon arrival to China, your pet, fees and registration are required, along with a 30-day quarantine period for your pet. Additionally, China still has strict Covid-19 policies, and a backup plan should be in place if you are required to quarantine due to a positive Covid-19 test.
These rules can change.
