Moving to Vietnam with your furry companion requires careful planning and attention to the country's pet import regulations. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and stress-free pet relocation experience for both you and your pet.
In this guide, we'll explore the key requirements and procedures for importing pets into Vietnam, as well as tips to make your pet's journey comfortable and safe.

Tips to make your pet's journey comfortable and safe
Acclimating your pet to its travel crate
Ensuring your pet is comfortable with its travel crate is essential for a positive travel experience. Avoid sedation and encourage crate acclimation through gradual training. Choose an airline-approved crate with adequate ventilation and space for your pet to move.
Preparing for Arrival in Vietnam
Upon arrival in Vietnam, your pet will undergo a customs check at the airport of entry. Keep all original and endorsed documents readily available for inspection.
