What this route typically costs
Critical points
The MGAP import permit must be obtained before travel; allow 6-10 weeks for processing
Dogs require a Praziquantel treatment given 72 hours to 30 days before arrival; timing must be recorded on the health certificate
Rabies vaccination must be given 30 days to 12 months before entry; an expired or too-recent vaccination will cause problems at MVD
The health certificate is valid for 10 days from issue; align the SVS-authorised vet appointment carefully with your flight date
Uruguay is in the Southern Hemisphere; build in extra lead time if travelling during Uruguayan summer (December to February) when MGAP offices may have reduced capacity

Meeting Uruguay's entry requirements
Advice worth following
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.
If this is your first international move, consider an IPATA-registered pet transport agent. They handle the documents, airline booking and crate sizing, and can troubleshoot problems.
Get your pet used to the travel crate weeks in advance. A calm, crate-familiar animal travels far better than one meeting the crate for the first time at the airport.
Confirm live animal acceptance on every flight segment before booking. Not all aircraft or connections take pets, and cargo terms can differ leg to leg.
