I have a different problem

Re: I have a different problem

I have a different problem. I volunteer at an animal shelter in a city with a large university. International students often adopt a dog or cat (or in one instance a rabbit) and then abandon them or return them when they return home. During the adotion process they "always" say they will take the pet home with them. What I want to know is what in detail do they have to do when they travel with a pet which is intended to stay in the receiving country. I want to be able to give them a handout that says what they will have to do and get their agreement that that is what they intend to do. I am mostly concerned with China and Japan.

I will try my best

Petmc - the regulations on bringing a pet to China and Japan are pretty strict and involve quarantine. It depends on what country the dog or cat is entering from. You can find regulations on importing a pChina here: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/china.cfm or Japan: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/Japan.cfm.
