What this route typically costs
Critical points
The SPSIC must be secured before travel. Arriving at Manila without it means BAI cannot release your pet. Apply early and allow several weeks for processing.
Home quarantine for 30 days requires a confirmed residential address in the Philippines from arrival. The pet must remain at that address throughout the quarantine period.

How Philippines 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.
