Reply to comment by MyFavoriteInsomnia in US airline pilot adopts dog abandoned by traveler at airport by shahooster

I'm rather curious how cumbersome some paperwork for a puppy would be? They don't mention details on why the paperwork was so onerous. It's a puppy not a nail clipper.

My friend just moved to the UK with her dog and it took her weeks of vet visits, sending paperwork to US and UK officials, then booking a berth at the Heathrow receiving center and trying to find a flight on the same day as the berth reservation. Total cost was more than $2500, not counting her own airline ticket.

That sounds excessive. I guess it has become a lot more complex than it used to be.

I moved from uk to Canada 15 years ago, at least in that direction it was a bit easier. My Guinea pig needed a pet health passport, an approved box and a handling agent.

It cost 1500 pounds to get Meatball to Canada (my company paid).
