Pet Travel to a foreign country can be complex and time-consuming. Before you start the process, you will need to know the following:
Your destination country sets requirements for pets entering the country, which can change at any time. Most countries require pets to arrive with a health certificate (also called an international health certificate, a veterinary health certificate, a veterinary certificate, or an export certificate). You must verify the country requirements each time you plan to travel with your pet.
The process for taking a pet bird or other exotic animal out of the United States may involve multiple agencies, including the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's Veterinary Services Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. You must meet ALL requirements for each of these agencies before traveling with a pet bird or exotic animal. If you are bringing your pet bird back to the U.S., plan ahead with meeting the requirements for returning.
Airlines and shipping lines establish their own policies to transport pets in addition to the requirements of the federal, state, and local governments. Check with your airline or ship representative to determine what requirements they may have. if you are brining your pet bird back into the u.s., plan ahead with meeting the requirements for returning. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/pet-travel/take-pet-to-foreign-country

For overseas transfers, you are responsible for obtaining all required documentation, immunization, and border clearance requirements of the host nation.
Commercial Air Transportation
All pet transportation arrangements for Permanent Change of Station orders by commercial air, whether domestic or overseas, are made by you. The alternative to commercial air is discussed below in "Military Air Transportation".
Most airlines limit the number of pets in cargo per flight. Call at least three days before the flight to make arrangements. Health certificates issued by a licensed veterinarian are needed when transporting a pet by air. If you change planes, you are responsible for seeing that the pet is transferred at the connecting point.
Be sure to have your name and address on the outside of a regulation airline kennel. Give your pet a drink of water within two hours of takeoff. If your flight is more than twelve hours long for young pets, or 24 hours for adult pets, you must send food with your pet. Federal law requires the airline to provide water every twelve hours.
Check with your commercial flight carrier for more information.
Military Air Transportation
Military transportation will be provided to those transferring overseas, as available. Pet shipment is restricted to a maximum of two pets per family; dogs or cats only. You must present a rabies vaccination certificate or veterinary health certificate to Navy Passenger Transportation Office as proof of ownership. Pets may travel if accompanied by a veterinary certification stating that the animal is fit to travel and there is no risk of birth occurring during the journey.
Pet space is limited on all flights. The Personnel Support Detachment will determine if you will be booked on commercial or military transportation. You should inform PSD that you intend to bring pets with you so they can make appropriate arrangements. Shipment of pets is not an entitlement - it is a convenience. If PSD arranges military transportation, you may obtain additional pet information from NAVPTO.
