Traveling with a dog from USA to Trinidad and Tobago

[withnail69]

Hi,
I am planning a trip to T&T with my dog and would appreciate any details on the immigration requirements. I have read that with the proper paperwork (health certificate, rabies vaccine and blood titres) the 6-month quarantine can be avoided. What I am not sure is if this means that the dog has to go through the shorter, one-month quarantine, or whether it is avoided altogether.
Anyone has any info on this?
Thanks a lot

If you are traveling from the US and you follow the procedure including getting an import permit and a blood titer test then the quarantine is a minimum of one month (30 days). Only pets coming from a rabies free country such as the UK can avoid all quarantine. The complete rules and all of the necessary forms and instructions are available at [url]www.pettravelstore.com[/url] and then click on Pet Passports and scroll down to Trinidad & Tobago.

The cost of traveling with your pet will vary depending on the size and weight of your pet and kenel and the shipping option chosen.

You can't take the pet with you..but you can put them in a cargo and take them. It depends upon the airlines.

Trinidad and Tobago require an import permit as well as the items you listed. The one month quarantine cannot be avoided when traveling from a country with a low incidence of rabies such as the United States. If you were traveling from a rabies free country such as the UK it can be avoided.
