Disclaimer
Border Pet is an informational resource. We want to help pet owners navigate the world of international travel — but we are not lawyers, vets, or government officials, and nothing on this site should be treated as such.
Not legal or veterinary advice
All content on Border Pet is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, veterinary advice, or any other form of professional advice. You should not rely solely on information from this site when making decisions about travelling with your pet.
You travel on your own terms
Every trip is different. Rules vary by species, breed, destination, airline, route, and time of year. Border Pet cannot account for every individual circumstance. You are responsible for verifying the requirements that apply to your specific situation before you travel.
Information changes — always check official sources
Pet travel regulations are set by governments and can change with little notice. Airline policies on in-cabin pets, cargo restrictions, and accepted documentation formats are updated frequently and vary significantly between carriers. Border Pet does its best to keep information current, but we cannot guarantee accuracy at the time you read it.
Before travelling, always verify directly with:
- The destination country's official government or border agency website
- Your airline's current pet travel policy
- Your own vet, who can advise on health certificates, vaccinations, and timing
- A licensed pet travel specialist if your route is complex
No liability
The information on this website is provided for general guidance only and does not, under any circumstance, constitute legal or veterinary advice. Any action taken based on information found here is made at the traveller's sole discretion and responsibility. Border Pet and its owner accept no liability for any outcome, loss, delay, refusal of entry, or other consequence arising from the use or interpretation of information on this site.
Links to third-party sites
Where we link to external websites (including government portals and airline pages), we do so for convenience only. We have no control over those sites and are not responsible for their content or accuracy.
Affiliate & advertising disclosure
Some links on Border Pet are affiliate links. This means that if you click through and make a purchase — or book a service — we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This applies to product recommendations (for example, on Amazon or similar retailers) and to service referrals (for example, links to veterinary clinics or pet travel service providers offering Animal Health Certificates or other travel documentation).
We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful to pet travellers. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or the accuracy of the information we provide.
Where a link is an affiliate link, it is labelled clearly in the article — either with an "(affiliate link)" note or an "Ad" label — before or alongside the link itself. This is in line with requirements under the UK CAP Code, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines, and the EU Digital Services Act.
If you have any questions about our commercial relationships, you can contact us directly.
