What this route typically costs
Critical points
Rabies vaccination must be administered no fewer than 30 days and no more than 12 months before entry into the Dominican Republic
Health certificate must be issued within 15 days of travel; do not request it earlier
Dogs require current DHPP vaccination; cats require panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, and calicivirus
The certificate window is 15 days, but the SVS endorsement process may take 1-3 days; plan accordingly
Prague (PRG) is the main cargo hub; direct cargo to SDQ is not available so a connecting hub (MAD, CDG, or AMS) is used
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.
How Dominican Republic handles incoming pets
What experienced owners do
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
Use an official, government-authorised vet for the health certificate, not just your usual clinic. Many destinations only accept certificates signed by an approved vet.
