Hidden waiting periods
Some destinations require steps — like a rabies titer test with a mandatory 180-day wait — that must be started months before you fly. Miss the window and travel on your date becomes mechanically impossible.

Why traveling without checking is risky.
International pet travel rules change often and contain deadlines most owners never hear about until it is too late.
A strict, unforgiving order
The microchip must come before the rabies vaccine; the vaccine before the titer test. Do a step out of order and it is invalid — you start over, losing months.
Refused, or detained on arrival
Without a compliant file, your dog can be refused at check-in, or detained in quarantine on arrival for up to 180 days at your expense. The whole difference is the paperwork and the timing.
How it works.
Step 1
Check your route
A few questions about your dog, your departure, and your destination.
Step 2
Get the verdict + the date that decides everything
We compute whether your travel date is achievable, and the single deadline you cannot miss.
Step 3
Get your compliant dossier
A dated back-plan on your travel date, the exact order, official forms, a vet script, and a boarding checklist.
