Moving with your pet includes researching airline requirements and importation laws in your new location. Many airlines have requirements for animal size, weight, or breed, number of animals, kennel construction, documentation and season they allow animals to travel in. Contact the airline for specifics. Military flights may have space for small pets, but availability and regulations frequently change. Contact your local Personal Property Office to request specific country instructions. Military OneSource can make your move easier with helpful tips, resources and hands-on information related to moving with pets and more.
There are strict importation laws in many international and domestic locations. This may include extended quarantines, restrictions on breeds or types of animals, and requirements for testing. Carefully research these rules as they could affect your moving schedule or ability to PCS with your pet. At a minimum, a health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian is always required. As a pet owner, you are solely responsible for ensuring your pet meets the travel requirements. As soon as you know your travel details, immediately contact your veterinarian for information. Preparation for some countries can take up to six months! Additional resources for animal import and export requirements are on the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Pet Travel website (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel/pet-travel-home-page) and in your destination installation's Shipping Pets article.

Please go to https://home.army.mil/cavazos/download_file/force/180ec458-c613-43dc-a391-f5fad85a8df7/418 for more information on the animal breed ban and other policies regarding pets in Fort Cavazos housing.
"Residents, employees, contractors, and / or visitors may not bring any dog of a breed (including a mixed breed) that is deemed aggressive / dangerous or potentially aggressive / dangerous onto the Fort Cavazos installation. For purposes of this policy, aggressive / dangerous or potentially aggressive / dangerous breeds of dogs are defined as Pit Bulls (American Staffordshire Bull Terriers or English Staffordshire Bull Terriers), Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Chows, and wolf hybrids.”
“This prohibition also extends to other dogs that demonstrate a propensity for dominant or aggressive / dangerous behavior as indicated by any of the following types of conduct: unprovoked barking, growling, snarling when people are present, aggressively running along fence lines when people are present, biting, scratching people, attacking other pets, escaping confinement or the propensity to chase people.” “It is unauthorized to bring any exotic, wild, or farm species onto Fort Cavazos for other than official purposes. Examples of exotic, wild or farm species include but are not limited to the following: fish and reptiles such as alligators, electric eels, monkeys, piranhas, pufferfish, sharks, and snakes; wild animals and birds such as ferrets, foxes, hedgehogs, raccoons, rats, skunks, squirrels, owls, ostriches, and falcons; and farm animals and fowl such as pot-bellied pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, and geese. Prior written approval of the Garrison Commander is required to bring exotic, wild, or farm species onto the Installation for official purposes.”
“The installation access restrictions do not apply to service animals. The Department of Justice guidelines implementing the service dog provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act expressly prohibits exclusion of a service dog "based on assumptions or stereotypes about the animal's breed or how the animal might behave." However, if a particular service animal behaves in a way, as stated in 5a (7), the animal may be barred from the installation at the direction of the Garrison Commander.”
