Embarking on a journey to Japan and contemplating bringing your cherished pet along? Relocating with your furry friend to this unique and culturally rich island nation in East Asia is undoubtedly exciting. To ensure a seamless and stress-free experience, it’s crucial to understand the regulations and requirements for pet shipping to Japan. In this guide, we’ll explore the key details about pet relocation to Japan and how Airpets International can be your trusted partner throughout the process.
Japan is a fascinating destination with a blend of ancient traditions and modern innovation. Its clean and pet-friendly environment, paired with a culture that values animals, makes it an attractive place for pet owners. However, bringing pets to Japan requires meeting strict health and documentation requirements, including rabies vaccinations and advanced planning to avoid quarantine delays.
If you’re planning to move to Japan with your beloved pet, here are the key requirements you need to consider:
Japan requires all pets to be microchipped. The microchip must comply with ISO 11784/11785 standards. Ensure the microchip is registered with up-to-date owner information for a smooth entry process.
Your pet must be up-to-date on essential vaccinations. Dogs typically require vaccinations against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis, while cats need vaccinations against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis. A health certificate issued by a certified veterinarian is also mandatory.
A rabies antibody test (FAVN test) is required, which should be conducted at least 180 days before departure to ensure eligibility for entry.
An import permit issued by Japan’s Animal Quarantine Service is a critical step in the process. Start the application well in advance to avoid delays.
Japan enforces a quarantine period for pets depending on the country of origin and compliance with rabies vaccination requirements. Pets meeting all criteria may have minimal or no quarantine, while others could face a quarantine period of up to 180 days.
Choosing the right travel crate is vital for your pet’s safety and comfort. The crate must meet international standards and provide enough space for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
