Before you ship your pet with us (Schumacher Cargo) or another shipping company, it is important to have all “prerequisites” handled prior to shipping the animal. That means you will need proof of ownership and vaccinations. Ownership proof could be adoption papers, an old vet bill, or anything that credibly establishes you as the owner. Proof of vaccinations is critical because the shipping service must be confident that the pet is not carrying any diseases such as rabies. It is also important to have import permission paperwork in place for the animal. Certain countries may have requirements to bringing in an animal from overseas. It is important to acquire all permissions and comply with all rules prior to shipping. If not, the animal may be refused entry and sent back. This will cost you a great deal of time, convenience, and money. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our Schumacher Cargo shipping experts.
