Your pet’s details · optional, makes the plan personal

Everything you enter stays in the web address of your plan. We don’t store it on our server. You can also let this browser remember it for next time.

How it works

From “what do I need?” to a checklist you can follow

  1. 1. Tell us the trip

    Where you leave from, where you arrive, the date, and optionally your pet’s microchip and vaccination dates.

  2. 2. Get an ordered plan

    We combine the rules for leaving the first country, any layover, and entering the destination, and work out each deadline.

  3. 3. Check it at the source

    Every step shows the official sentence it comes from and links to the government page. Download the deadlines to your calendar.

Why you can rely on it

Every rule is a quote, not a paraphrase

Summaries drift and drop conditions. So every requirement on this site carries the exact official sentence it was built from, a link to the page, and the date we last checked it. A script re-reads the live pages and tells us when a sentence changes.

  • Official government sources only. Never forums, airlines or blogs.
  • Unclear wording is flagged, never guessed.
  • Your pet’s records are checked too: a vaccine given too young or before the microchip becomes a step to redo, with the reason.
  • The official pages are re-read every day. If one changes, the pages that use it say so until we’ve re-checked the rule.
  • 359 test trips are worked out by hand and checked against the engine.
