If I travel my dog to the Philippines, are they going to quarantine my dog once it arrives in the country and for how long? Does my dog get delivered right away to the appropriate address?  Please advise. - Juvy

 

The most common question when people begin to look into moving their pets internationally is "Will there be quarantine?"  No one likes the idea of quarantine, and for some countries, like the UK and Japan, we will work with our clients and their vets to prepare pets ahead of time to avoid quarantine by having certain blood tests.  Some countries however do not allow quarantine exemptions no matter what you do -- like Singapore, Thailand and Australia.

Fortunately, when shipping pets to the Philippines, we don't have to worry about either scenario!  Due to the fact that the Philippines already has most animal diseases (specifically rabies), they have no need to quarantine incoming pets.

However, an import permit is required prior to shipping pets to the Philippines.  This needs to be obtained from the Philippines Department of Agriculture. 

Finally, regarding arrival and delivery, this depends on whether you work with a service like ours, which provides door-to-door pet moving services, or move your pet on your own.  When using our services, we can clear customs and then deliver your pet directly to your front door upon arrival in the Philippines.
