What kind of animals can travel?

You can travel with your dog or cat, as long as it is at least 16 weeks old.

You have to fulfill some requirements to request the service. However, there are restrictions for some of our routes. 

Check all the necessary information in the Pet Transportation Service. Remember that it is essential to comply with the detailed requirements, especially regarding documentation, permitted breeds and kennel specifications, so that we can ensure the welfare of your pet at all times.

If you have any special needs and want to travel with your service animal or emotional support dog, you can review all the information in our Special Assistance - Assistance Animals section.

If your pet is a different type of animal, you can transport it through LATAM Cargo. 

 

Travel ban for dogs to the U.S.

The CDC (Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention) dictates that all dogs traveling to the United States must comply with the following conditions:

• It must be in good health.
• It must be at least 6 months old.
• It must have the importation form for dogs, emitted by the CDC website.
• It must have a microchip. The number of the microchip must be included in all the required forms and documents.

Additionally, dogs coming from countries with a high risk of rabies transmission, or that have been in those countries within the last 6 months, or their itinerary includes a connection in those countries, must be vaccinated against rabies and comply with the vaccination requirements according to the country:

• If your dog was vaccinated in the United States, it can enter from any airport, as long as it is the same as the one declared on the import form, in addition to presenting the following:
  • The rabies vaccination form emitted in the United States.
  • A certificate of health for exportation backed by a veterinarian affiliated with the USDA.

• If it was vaccinated outside of the United States, it will be obligated to enter through airports that have an Animal Care Facility (ACF), such as New York (JFK), Atlanta (ATL), Los Angeles (LAX), and Miami (MIA), in addition to presenting the following:
  • Confirmation of the reservation for care at a CDC-registered Animal Care Facility (ACF).
  • Foreign rabies vaccination form and microchip (certified by an official government veterinarian).
  • Valid rabies serology report from a CDC-approved laboratory (in English or with a certified translation).

These conditions are for reference purposes and can change without prior notice. Due to this, we request that you always review the CDC website in detail. Compliance applies to dogs in the cabin, service dogs and dogs traveling in the hold, independent of their race.
