Holidays is coming. Bringing your pets to overseas for holidays, can be no fun at all

Probably you are thinking of bring your dog or cat for vacation overseas, that would be wonderful time with your pets around with whole family. You have so many plans to spend with family and your pets during holidays, from the beach to the mountain or even the desert or jungle.....it's time for everyone to have a lot of fun.

Before making your plans into reality would better think about the following:

Which country or countries are you going to spend your holidays? Difference country has difference requirements for pets to enter or exit, even for short period, usually no exception whether your pet/s will stay for a week or a month or forever. Please check what documents to be prepared for going in and going out for each country.

Some country like Indonesia do not recognize pets on holidays, when going out means for good, and when enter mean first time entry. No temporary leave of the country.
It would be treated as an exportation procedure and new importation procedure when returning, including Export/Import permit, Quarantine, import duty and taxes.
Same complication when the first time entering to Indonesia.

We would suggest not to bring your pets for overseas holidays, otherwise probably you will spend most of your times for the formality of exit or entry processing, and no more fun of it or even turn into a nightmare.

Find at your area, local boarding kennel and cattery, check the availability, facility and reliability and then have fun on your holidays seasons with peaceful mind........
