Hi all,

What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Paraguay?

How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Paraguay?

What are the relevant authorities to contact?

Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets have to go in quarantine at their arrival in Paraguay?

Which advice would you give to the ones who would like to move with a dog, a cat or any other pet?

Thanks in advance for participating

You need a certificate of health from a veterinarian written in Spanish, like this one: http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveani … 7r4_es.pdf Your animal must be microchipped (for So.Am) and rabies vaccinated. Depending upon the airline, the health certificate must be done no sooner than 5 - 10 days before the flight. If you are coming from America, the health certificate must be sent to the USDA for a stamp. You must have it sent by FEDEX (or similar) or you won't get it back in time.

Remember to reserve space for your pet with the airline and use an approved pet carrier. Go to the airline's website for details.
