FAQ
Common questions about Canada to Peru pet transport
Allow at least 20 weeks from starting preparations to travel day. Some steps involve mandatory waiting periods that cannot be shortened, so starting early is the only way to keep to your schedule.
No routine quarantine is required in Peru for pets arriving with correct documentation. However, if your pet arrives without the right paperwork, penalty quarantine can apply. Get everything right before you travel.
Your pet needs a government-issued veterinary health certificate from an official vet in Canada. The certificate must be issued within 10 days of travel. Present the original (not a copy) at check-in. Check Peru’s authority for the exact format required.
