Pet Export

Exporting pets outside of Canada has varying requirements depending on the intended country. Requirements such as vaccines, medications, microchipping, etc., may be simple to complex and can change without notice. We advise all clients travelling to use a professional pet transportation service to help with the export requirements needed.
