We will be moving to Punta Cana early September! We want to bring our pet rabbit. Anyone have any idea how to plan this?

Rabbits fall into the "Other Pets" category and USDA doesn't have much info! The links on this site might help you find an answer.

Rabbits are animal like dogs....same procedure you need to take him to the vet...get all the vaccines...and make sure that he does not get lost when he gets there.  Another thing(sorry to say this). The rabbit meat is very good and people eat there..

Thanks! Unfortunately that was zero help 😣

LOL! Well no ones going to be eating my tiny Holland Lop!

Rabbits are not dogs and may or may not be treated the same.  I am asking someone for help who should know.  Some animals / pets are not allowed at all!  Or, if allowed, once here cannot leave.

Good luck bringing the bunny!!!  You might want to contact the airline!

Well scheduling that is the easy part. I can’t seem to find info on what documents and usda or other things will be necessary upon arrival.

Yes, I HAD to click on this thread. Or "Rabbit Transit" may have worked too   :0)

Curious I googled "Holland Lop" and OMG they are adorable!  I would like one  (jk).

OMG! Now we all want Holland Lops! If you could get it to sleep the whole way, you might get away with pretending it's a stuffed animal!

None of the people I know connected to animal rescue can answer the question about rabbits!  Sorry.

Sent you a link by private message.  Only a few airlines take them.  But maybe you will luck out.
