Hi Tracy

The other thing to check on is what your airline will require.  I found out from air Canada that they required a copy of the paperwork or letter saying that  the country would. Accept you and your dog.  I had to scan/email the vet report to the Heathrow animal control folks and ask them to give me a letter for the airline saying that they would accept me and Bogart into the country.  that was a real last minute request which had me  stressed to make sure it was all completed before we left.

To add to the humour they. Misread my itinerary  and thought I was arriving the day my ticket I was leaving Vancouver but, of course, the time change had us arriving on the next day. that added. An extra hour to getting. Bogart out of the. Airport to pee and some water.

Have fun though.
