I just need to interject to say how irresistibly adorable Sami is. His cute little face popped out of a travel bag ♥️. He makes me want to run out today & adopt that 3rd Westie we’ve planning on ❤
When did you last travel and did you get a larger carrier for your dog? What are the dimensions despite what is listed on the website? what airlines have you flown? Have they given you any issues since the first time you flew with the dog?
I'm planning to bring my dog from my home country which is high-risk country into the USA and I did the titer test for 6 month before my departure flight. I hope this will be fine because Vietnam doesn't have any US approved facility to do that so my vet had to send the blood tubs to EU and wait for the result about over a month. And now I live in San Jose but CDC no longer accept pets importing to San Francisco's airport, so another concern coming up for me, I have to arrive to L.A instead and then take another domestic flight to San Jose. There're so many steps and so many concerns for me and have to call every airlines to confirm about their pet policy, figure it out which time is better for me and my dogs too be cause it's a really long haul flight of 18 hours and my dogs have to be in the cargo option, not in cabin. My case's very complicated after CDC removes San Francisco's airport. Thank you for your video. Now I just worry if domestic flight will request any documents on my dogs or not.
Thanks so much for the useful information! if I understood clearly the form is the only thing they need if they have not traveled to a high-risk country what about the microchip though?
Thanks for the helpful videos. My Yorkipoo is about the same size as a westie. I have to travel from USA to Europe. We will land in Frankfurt and then change planes for Ljubljana. Does my dog have to be inspected in Germany before we can change planes and and go on to Slovenia if he has the required USDA certificate, vaccination records and microchip?
Normally your dog needs to be inspected by the vet on arrival to the destination. But if it's only a layover, then the inspection might happen in Ljubliana. I've never flown with Sami from the US with a layover, so I can't say for sure, but I would assume it's at the destination. From what I remember, the vet inspection is the very last thing we did before exiting the airport, so it's after all the check points. Safe travels!
Thanks! As a general rule for entering the USA, yes. But you also need to check with the airline (some airlines might ask for a health certificate still) and also check the rules for the State you're traveling to. Some states might ask for extra documents. You can see the link in the description for the page where you can check rules for each state.
Hi! Would you mind telling how much do Samie weights? I have a pug that I want to travel with and I’ve seen some airlines putting limits on weight for carrying them on the cabin. Thanks!
Hey! I saw your video about going with your dog to the US when I moved here but now I wanna go back to Portugal with him and it seems a nightmare! I dont need the USDA certificate because he has a valid pet passport - but I cannot find a single vet that does a health certificate so I can fly with him. Can you help?
Thank you so much for this video. But how long are the dog allowed to stay in the USA? From Europe I can stay 90 days without a visa, if longer 6 months I need to apply for it. Is it the same for our dogs? Do u know any of this? Best regards Christine 😊💕
But you also need to check the other USDA regulations, many states need a rabies vaccination certificate and some a health certificate. It’s not just the CDC rules!!!
Absolutely and I mentioned that at minute 03:00 - You need to check with each State you're traveling to, because some ask for the health certificate and other things. And I added a link to the website where you can select any state to check the requirements. So you are absolutely right 👍🏻 But in this video, I'm only talking about the new CDC rules, not about everything you need to travel with your dog. If you'd like a video about everything else you need to know to travel in the USA (or anywhere else) please let me know!
Do you think it matters if my dog gets an ISO microchip even though he has already gotten his rabies vaccine this year? I don't see anything on the website that talks about the specifics of the microchip procedure for dogs coming from low-risk countries. Only in the high-risk countries requirement section. We've only ever traveled within North America so I wasn't really concerned about a microchip until this update! Thank you for the video!
Yes, the microchip is mandatory for all dogs traveling. Here is a copy paste from the CDC website: What else is required for dogs from dog rabies-free or low-risk countries? In addition to having a receipt for a CDC Dog Import Form: Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival. Dogs must be at least 6 months old at time of entry or return to the U.S. Dogs must have a microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner to identify them. Source: www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/rabies-free-low-risk-countries.html Is the microchip not a requirement for traveling from one state to another? I know airlines always ask for it.
Another thing is, if you plan on traveling internationally to a high-risk country, when you get back to the US you need proof that the microchip has been implanted BEFORE the rabies vaccine. So you would need to revaccinate after putting in the microchip. But that's only if you go to countries with high risk of rabies. If not, no worries! Just wanted to let you know.
Hi @WestieVibes, thank you for such a wonderful video. Have you heard about airlines no longer letting pets in the cabin on the way back to the US starting on August 1st? The airline informed me 3 days before I was about to depart for the EU with my dog and offered to refund our return flight. I booked another ticket with a different airline because they assured me she could fly back to the US in cabin. The alternative airline let me know the day before we left for Europe saying that they can't bring my dog back in the cabin due to the CDC guidelines and would not give me a refund without paying penalty fee. Any advice on this would be truly appreciated!
Hi Lisa, thank you for watching and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Yes, unfortunately I know that some airlines decided to stop flying dogs in the cabin. I am so sorry that they did this. I can't imagine how inconvenient it is for you and everyone going through this! Not only they should give you the refund, but they should pay you extra to compensate for the inconvenience. If you don't mind sharing, what are the airlines? On their website, do they say that they fly with dogs in the cabin? If yes, than definitely you should be able to do something about it. I don't know what their terms and conditions are, but I'm almost sure there is something written somewhere that would entitle you to compensation (do you follow Erika Kullberg by any chance? she has this series "Erika taught me" where she always shares tips on how to get compensated by airlines who do stuff like this). Also, there was a situation where initially, the CDC announced their rules and the process was really complicated (they would ask for a lot of paperwork for dogs to travel). Then, about 2-3 weeks ago, they decided to simplify the process (because everyone lobbied against the new rules) and now it's much simpler. I think many airlines reacted based on the previous rules. And now, that the process is very simple for dogs coming from countries free of rabies, many airlines should be able to fly dogs with no problems. Knowing this, I would call them and try to explain the situation. Tell them what the CDC website says and see if they can reconsider and fly with dogs (I know this is a long shot, since the people you talk to don't make these decisions). You can also email them and explain all this in writing too. That's what I would do in this situation. I am curious to know what the airlines are. And I hope you find an airline who will fly your dog and I hope you do get compensated for all this. Good luck!!
Hi @@WestieVibes ! Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and for your empathy. The first airline was Lufthansa who at least informed me of the new policy 3 days before I was set to leave for the EU and gave me a refund. Multiple agents told me different things and said that I would need to hire an animal mover service to fly my dog under cargo on a separate plane. My vet told me they couldn't find anything on the CDC website that prohibits animals from being flown in the cabin and that the animal mover services cost thousands of dollars. Lufthansa website still says they can transport animals in the cabin. I appreciated Lufthansa for at least communicating and offering me a refund for the return flight. Turkish Airlines however was a nightmare to deal with. Multiple agents confirmed that I could fly with my dog in the cabin then had me pay for everything in advance. The day before I was set to leave for the EU, I sent them all the necessary documents that met the new CDC guidelines (which my vet verified) and asked them to confirm my dog could fly in the cabin on the way back to the US in October. It was then they told me CDC changed their guidelines, no animals are allowed in the cabin starting on August 1st, and that I needed to fly into designated airports(LAX/MIA/JFK/IAD/OHI/ATL) which was not my destination airport. I asked them for a full refund. I got passed around customer service, sales, and feedback 3 different days I tried to reach them who told me they would not let me cancel the flight without a penalty fee. They told me there was no problem, they could fly my dog back in the cabin (it was clear they were not informed about the CDC guidelines and new policy), then send me to sales. The sales department told me they could not fly my dog back in the cabin and even if my dog flew under cargo, I could not fly into my destination airport, sending me to feedback department who said I should talk to sales but they can't help me. One of the agents even had the nerve to raise his voice with me and argue with me about why I didn't want to travel with my dog under cargo when I paid for a space in the cabin and was simply asking for a refund without penalty as they cannot deliver on their promise. He told me I can cancel my flight with a penalty fee (100 euros). I even paid extra for that option while buying the flight. After multiple weeks of dealing with the airline, I asked multiple times for a supervisor which never happened. Then the salesperson told me the CDC guideline revised the rules and I could fly back with my dog now. After my experience, I do not feel any more assured that what the agent is telling me is true or that they know what they are talking about. I fear I will get to the airport and they will tell me I can't travel without my dog and take no responsibility for their inability to deliver the service I paid for. Then I would be stranded at the airport and have to find another flight for thousands of dollars at the last minute. So for those of you who are looking to travel internationally with a dog and plan on traveling back to the US, please do not fly with Turkish Airlines. This is the most frustrating experience I've encountered and they do not take accountability for their lack of training and awareness about new guidelines that affect customers who fly with their pets. I do follow Erika but I am not quite sure what to do as they just told me they could fly with animals in the cabin. We will see how this goes. Thanks for all that you do. I really appreciate your advice and empathy!
Since I switched to home cooked food, I bring a ziplock bag with me with a small portion of his homemade food and I feed him right after we check in (before we go through security screening). I also bring frozen food with me in the checked luggage, I wrap it in a thermal bag with ice packs to last until we arrive. But food may not be allowed to transport if you travel across continents, so be sure to check first.
Hi, I have a ticket traveling to Chicago from Serbia for pet in cabin, but I was just told by an austrian airlines agent that cannot enter through Chicago but have to go through either LA, NY, Atlanta or DC. Serbia is not a high risk country so I don’t understand why? Did anyone have a similar problem? Please help!
Hi, any chance you know anything about export certificate from Italy? I am looking to travel with my US vaccinated dog from Croatia by car to Venice and take a direct flight to Newark. Have eu passport also, everything up to date.. just finding that I need some ASL helath/export certificate to exit Italy.. I'm getting a bit confused since I would be only passing trough. Please advise me. Thank you.
Hi, I had no idea about this until I read your comment. Apparently yes, you need this export certificate when you leave Italy. From what I see, you can get this from a veterinarian. What I would do is find a vet clinic in the area where you'll be, in Venice. And call them beforehand, ask them if they can provide you with this certificate and make an appointment on the day you arrive. It's an extra step and I can imagine you already have enough going on with the travel, so this is very annoying. But if you plan it in advance and get an appointment, it should be over quickly. Good luck!!
Hi we are moving with our two dogs to NY in October. We are coming from Israel “ high Risk country”. When we tried booking a flight to NY they told us we can only send our dogs by a separate cargo, this means if our flight changes or their flight changes the dogs and ourselves will be stuck alone. We decided to fly to Miami instead where we can have them with us on the same plane in the cargo. However they are asking for a health certificate which we are super confused about. Is there a specific/general health form that the vet needs to fill in? Because when we ask them they say they don’t know what we are talking about. What exactly are the health form requirements. We have a Cardigan welsh and a Labrador retriever. Both healthy, vaccinated and we are waiting for the results of the Titer test. It seems we are supposed to hire and pet service in Miami where they will be quarantined for 2-3 days. We have never traveled with them before. We are so scared about the treatment and care they will receive from the workers. 😣 Thank you for any advice or help in advance!
Hi! I hope everything has gone smoothly for you and your family. I’m moving to the USA from a high risk country too. How did the process go for you? How much do you pay for the reservation?
Scandinavian airline refused to transport my dogs to the United States from Denmark, and I was asked to use cargo services (non-SAS). Has anyone been told something like this?
Hi! That is great 🎉 No, if your dog hasn't traveled to any countries where rabies is common in the past 6 months, then your pup doesn't need the vaccine. Just the microchip. You will just need to complete the CDC Form (and also check with the airline to see what documents they ask for). Have a safe trip!! I found NY to be quite dog friendly, so your pup will love it!
If you're coming from a non-EU country, you need an EU health certificate (from what I know the passport is for traveling between EU countries and you can get one at almost any vet in Europe, it cost me 15 euros with my vet in Portugal). For the EU health certificate you need an accredited vet who has experience with international pet documents. You can see more info here: europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/animal-plant/index_en.htm
And here is where you can find accredited veterinarians in your State (if you live in the US, that is! Sorry, I didn't ask you 😅) vsapps.aphis.usda.gov/vsps/public/VetSearch.do?method=display
I want to travel with my dog in January, and i read if dog have a paszport EU and is from low risk rabies, does not need a health certificate. Just fill out the cdc form 10 days before travel. But is it true ... We'll check 😁
OMG, I would NEVER allow my dog to be quarantined! I would avoid anything that would require that. Seems like you could wait 6 months before traveling, if you had previously traveled to a high risk country, or find a good pet sitter.
My little westie buster is sat here with his face glued to my phone talking to Sami!
Love from the uk to Sami and family ❤
I love this! 😍 Kisses to little Buster! ❤️
The puppy is saying, take me out ofthis suitcase
I always say it, from the first videos: this little dog Sami is very lucky! he found a happy family! lovely
Yes he is, but so are we that we found him! ❤️🫠
Sami is so adorable
Just love Sami ❤❤❤❤. Such a happy family! Thanks for the info too!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!! 🩷
@@WestieVibes My pleasure!
Sami is so precious, I just wanna give him hugs and kisses
Thank you so much
Sami is adorable

Haha, maybe it's your sign to go for it! 😂 Truth is he was people and dog watching out the window, so he stayed very focused the whole time!
Great video! Thanks for sharing❤
Sami is a lucky baby ❤❤
Hello, from Fort Worth Texas. Thanks for a great informative video.
Glad it was helpful! 😊👍🏻
Sami is such a good and beautiful dog. WOW I have only been to 3 countries.
Just so precious with puppy’s head sticking out!! ❤❤❤
Like it~ you shared amazing ! Westie- 🙃
When did you last travel and did you get a larger carrier for your dog? What are the dimensions despite what is listed on the website? what airlines have you flown? Have they given you any issues since the first time you flew with the dog?
Sami , dużo zdrowia przyjacielu . Miruna bardzo dziękuję za Twoje porady są bardzo przydatne i pomocne . Wszystkiego dobrego
Thank you, I am glad you found it helpful!
Wich one is the form that's so easy to sent!!!!
I love you Sami! My pup is a Westiepoo. His name is Rascal Flatts.🐶 Have a wonderful time on your next trip.
I love his name! 😂😂❤️
Rascal Flatss? I don't get it. Westiepoos can be very cute. How about calling him Sami 2.
Does the air pressure in the cabin bother Sami when you fly?
Good question that's my concern because it hurt my ears
@@TheJamekabrown Yes, I still would like to know please.
I'm planning to bring my dog from my home country which is high-risk country into the USA and I did the titer test for 6 month before my departure flight. I hope this will be fine because Vietnam doesn't have any US approved facility to do that so my vet had to send the blood tubs to EU and wait for the result about over a month. And now I live in San Jose but CDC no longer accept pets importing to San Francisco's airport, so another concern coming up for me, I have to arrive to L.A instead and then take another domestic flight to San Jose. There're so many steps and so many concerns for me and have to call every airlines to confirm about their pet policy, figure it out which time is better for me and my dogs too be cause it's a really long haul flight of 18 hours and my dogs have to be in the cargo option, not in cabin. My case's very complicated after CDC removes San Francisco's airport. Thank you for your video. Now I just worry if domestic flight will request any documents on my dogs or not.
The dog needs go to a Facility?
Thanks so much for the useful information! if I understood clearly the form is the only thing they need if they have not traveled to a high-risk country what about the microchip though?
Yes, the microchip is one of the first requirements I mentioned in the beginning, along with the dogs being healthy and minimum 6 months of age.
Thanks for the helpful videos. My Yorkipoo is about the same size as a westie. I have to travel from USA to Europe. We will land in Frankfurt and then change planes for Ljubljana. Does my dog have to be inspected in Germany before we can change planes and and go on to Slovenia if he has the required USDA certificate, vaccination records and microchip?
Normally your dog needs to be inspected by the vet on arrival to the destination. But if it's only a layover, then the inspection might happen in Ljubliana. I've never flown with Sami from the US with a layover, so I can't say for sure, but I would assume it's at the destination. From what I remember, the vet inspection is the very last thing we did before exiting the airport, so it's after all the check points.
Safe travels!
@@WestieVibes Thank you for the info.
Thanks for the info!’ Very helpful, do you know if the CDC Dog Import Form Document has to be filled in a particular time?
We would to travel international with our dog. What is a good destination that is dog friendly enough to go?
Frace is very dog friendly. I hear so is Italy and Germany, but we haven't been with Sami yet, so I can't say from experience.
Hi I would like to know if I can bring dry dog food with me on the airplane? Or is there requirements
The cost for the reservation ..around 4000 thousand
Amazing video!! one question, I was always asked for a 'Health certificate' or Letter, so now with the CDC form is enough? THANKS!

Hi is India considered a high rabies country?
Yes it is. Here is the list www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/high-risk-countries.html
hi is this new rule apply if travelling to Canada?
No, this is just for entering the USA. Canada has its own rules, you can see them here: inspection.canada.ca/en/importing-food-plants-animals/pets

What do you feed your dog when you travel with him? My dog refuses to eat dog food.
Since I switched to home cooked food, I bring a ziplock bag with me with a small portion of his homemade food and I feed him right after we check in (before we go through security screening).
I also bring frozen food with me in the checked luggage, I wrap it in a thermal bag with ice packs to last until we arrive. But food may not be allowed to transport if you travel across continents, so be sure to check first.

We have never traveled with them before. We are so scared about the treatment and care they will receive from the workers. 😣
Thank you for any advice or help in advance!
Hi! I hope everything has gone smoothly for you and your family. I’m moving to the USA from a high risk country too. How did the process go for you? How much do you pay for the reservation?
So sad😢. I was so eager to bring my new puppy to the U.S after my stay in Mexico.
So what happened to the puppy?
Scandinavian airline refused to transport my dogs to the United States from Denmark, and I was asked to use cargo services (non-SAS). Has anyone been told something like this?
Which airline is it?
Hello I live in Sweden do my dog need rabies vaccine? I’m traveling to New York in December with my baby 🐶
Hi! That is great 🎉 No, if your dog hasn't traveled to any countries where rabies is common in the past 6 months, then your pup doesn't need the vaccine. Just the microchip. You will just need to complete the CDC Form (and also check with the airline to see what documents they ask for). Have a safe trip!! I found NY to be quite dog friendly, so your pup will love it!
@@WestieVibes thank you very kindly for your reply 😊
@@WestieVibesdon't you need a health certificate to travel to NY state??
How to get EU pet passport - to take Milo to Europe.
If you're coming from a non-EU country, you need an EU health certificate (from what I know the passport is for traveling between EU countries and you can get one at almost any vet in Europe, it cost me 15 euros with my vet in Portugal).
For the EU health certificate you need an accredited vet who has experience with international pet documents. You can see more info here: europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/travel/carry/animal-plant/index_en.htm
And here is where you can find accredited veterinarians in your State (if you live in the US, that is! Sorry, I didn't ask you 😅) vsapps.aphis.usda.gov/vsps/public/VetSearch.do?method=display
I want to travel with my dog in January, and i read if dog have a paszport EU and is from low risk rabies, does not need a health certificate. Just fill out the cdc form 10 days before travel. But is it true ... We'll check 😁
OMG, I would NEVER allow my dog to be quarantined! I would avoid anything that would require that. Seems like you could wait 6 months before traveling, if you had previously traveled to a high risk country, or find a good pet sitter.
Same here! Yes, either do the rabies titer, or just wait 6 months I think is the best solution. The test will take 2 months anyway 😅
If you ever travel to Seattle area, you and Sami could meet Archie, my 2 yo Westie, and his sister, Scottie girl.
It would be fun to see the 3 of them together.
no way is it easier..is costs over $1000 for more that half the world just to land in USA with their pets.
What a waste of time and money. US Government doesn’t have bigger issues to contend with?
Hard pass on the tracking system too.
You do realize that microchips are not trackers. They cannot track, they are just for identification when they are scanned. That's it ☺️
This is all so outrageous, re vaccinated...it's so bad for your animal
Hello do you know which airline is pet friendly from Sweden to New York? because SAS airline doesn’t allow dogs anymore in cabin 😢😢
