When you decide to travel with your dog, the first thing they will recommend you do is take him to the vet for a check-up and, also, to get a passport.
In it, the professional will put the vaccines that will be provided, and also the microchip number, since without it he will not be able to leave the country. Therefore, we are going to tell you how to get my dog's passport.
The passport is a kind of booklet or card where the vet writes down all the most important information about your friend: the name, the weight, the race, the vaccines that are worn, the microchip and if any special treatment has been carried out. It is something similar to our vaccination record, with the difference that ours is not useful for traveling 🙂.
If you want to go on a trip with our friend it is very necessary that you put the microchip and the rabies vaccine. At the veterinary clinic they will give you the passport that you will have to take with you every time you go on a trip. In the event that the animal is not yours, you must present, along with your ID, a photocopy of the identity document of the owner of the animal and an authorization.
Once the veterinarian verifies the owner's data in the Computerized Registry of Companion Animals (RIAC) will proceed to request the passport, which will arrive within a maximum period of 7 days. You will not have to do anything else, since it will be the vet who takes care of everything.
Lastly, It is important that you know that puppies less than three months old cannot have a passportSo if you plan to travel with them, you have to request an authorization from the country you are going to.
Have a great trip!
