Things To Know Before You Go

South America is a continent of breathtaking diversity, featuring lush rainforests, bustling cities, and pet-friendly cultures.

Before relocating, ensure you are familiar with entry requirements, which may include health certifications, vaccinations, and microchipping. These steps will ensure a smooth transition for you and your pet.

MOVING WITH YOUR PET TO South America

When relocating with your pet to South America, consider these key requirements:

Microchipping

Most South American countries require pets to be microchipped with an ISO-compliant microchip. It’s vital to register the microchip with current owner information for a seamless entry process.

Vaccinations & health certificates

Ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations. Dogs typically need rabies, distemper, and parvovirus vaccines, while cats require rabies and feline panleukopenia vaccinations. A health certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian is mandatory for entry, typically valid for 10 days.

Blood Tests

Some countries may require rabies antibody titers for pets arriving from high-risk rabies countries. Confirm specific requirements based on your country of departure.

IMPORT PERMIT

Certain South American countries may require an import permit. Begin the application process well in advance to avoid delays.

QUARANTINE

Most South American countries do not mandate quarantine for pets if all import requirements are met. However, exceptions may apply depending on the origin country.

Approved Travel Crates

An IATA-compliant travel crate is essential for your pet’s comfort and safety. Ensure the crate is appropriately sized to allow your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.

🏷️ 5% Savings Offer – Official Terms & Conditions

1. Who Is Eligible

Customers are eligible for the 5% savings only if they:

  • Have completed a booking call with an AirPets Pet Travel Advisor; and
  • Have received an updated, personalized estimate following that call.

This means:
✔ A free instant estimate via the form does not by itself qualify someone for the discount – they must complete the call and receive the custom estimate.


2. What Qualifies as a “Personalized Estimate”

A personalized estimate is defined as a tailored relocation quote delivered by a Pet Travel Advisor after reviewing the customer’s:

  • Pet details (species, size, crate needs)
  • Travel timeline
  • Destination and routing needs

The estimate must be electronically delivered to the customer after the call. An email confirmation of a previously sent estimate will suffice.


3. Booking & Call Completion

To qualify:
📞 The customer must schedule and complete a consultation call with AirPets within 14 days of submitting their free estimate request.

📅 Calls must be completed – not just scheduled – for the offer to be valid.


4. Time Limit to Claim Savings

Once the personalized estimate is delivered:
⏳ The customer must confirm their relocation service and sign a travel agreement within 7 calendar days of receiving that estimate to lock in 5% off.

In addition, the non-refundable deposit must be paid within 3 business days of signing the travel agreement to claim the offer.


5. Offers Are Non-Transferable & Non-Combinable

📌 The 5% savings:

  • Are non-transferable (only for the party who completed the estimate call)
  • Cannot be combined with other discounts, promotions, referral credits, or partner offers

6. Offer Validity & Availability

✔ Offer is valid only for new relocation plans, not for changes to existing bookings or already confirmed moves.

✔ AirPets reserves the right to modify or discontinue offer terms at any time, without prior notice.


7. How Savings Are Applied

Once a customer qualifies:
💰 The 5% savings will be reflected in the final invoice total – not the instant estimate – and will be applied at the time the final payment is received.
