Plane Flying Yorkies to India?

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone has flown with their yorkies from the US to India? If not, what about international fights in general?

While I don't have a dog yet, I would like to visit friends there without leaving my pup behind. I was wondering because I thought an international flight might be too stressful for a little dog, and maybe staying at home would be better. In addition, I would be concerned with them being stolen, or attacked by wild dogs/animals, or picking up some disease.

Any thoughts??

I would find a good family member or friend to watch your pup while you are away. Yes, too much stress and such a long flight. JMO. Good luck to you and have fun.

Complicated! I found this when doing a search:


Please note that all pets entering into India must be issued a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from the ANIMAL QUARANTINE STATION in India whether accompanied or manifest, prior to landing into India.

This document takes about 5 working days to obtain. Documents required prior to obtaining this document are:
(to be sent in copy to India)
1. All vaccination records of the pet
2. Government issued veterinary certificate from the exporting country (USDA document with the Annexure I/II in case of USA )
3. Flight details / confirmation of the passenger's travel into India / Copy of the airway bill

The NOC from the Animal Quarantine Station in India must be obtained by your local clearing agent in India. It is required to be obtained in person and cannot be applied for online.

The NOC is sent to the Shipper by fax or a scanned copy by email . The original must be presented to the Airline in India at the port of entry of the pet before the pet has been loaded in the other country.

If the pet is coming accompanied, the owner of the pet must carry the NOC copy with him at all times. If the pet is coming as manifest cargo , the NOC copy must be attached on the crate in a transparent pouch to protect it from damage .

The Indian government has not made a fixed fee schedule for this document available at the present time.

|First India is a long flight. About 12 hours and often time a layover somewhere of a few hours.

My visits to India, didn't endear me to how they treated their dogs. Many wild and feral dogs roaming around in the cities.

I know some middle to upper class Indians do keep dogs in the home. But the streets are not that sanitary, and I never saw in 6mths of travelling through India anyone walking a dog.

If you have friends there, that you will stay with that also have dogs, that may be one thing. But still the flight is very long both ways.

I would seriously consider, leaving your pet with a trusted family member, if you are travelling to India.

Obviously this a whole different situation, but I bought a hand-sewn prom dress from India a couple of years ago and and a H*LL of a time getting it through customs. I would hate to see what would happen to your poor baby. I would leave your baby at home and just take lots of pictures to show us after

I think the travel part is easy. I have a friend you takes her little one everywhere. We flew to Greece together and she had her little hand held carrier where the dog stayed - with her in the cabin. She used the wee wee pad in the carrier for the dog to go and most of the time the dog stayed on her lap. Obviously you have to know your dog - if it will just sit there and not want to jump around and roam the aisles - LOL!

Anyway, I think the most difficult part - and the one that would make me want to leave my dog at home - is the conditions in India. I don't know - so I cannot comment - but if its not safe and unsanitary and have wild animals running around - then I would think again.

Enjoy your trip to India, I have been to India , The trip is long. And it was super hot when we were there. Your furbaby will have to travel in a cage all the way there and back. I'm not sure if he can be with u in the cabin.
If he is going to cargo , please don't do it.
I'm sure u can find someone to stay with him/her while u can enjoy yourself and not be stress about your furbaby. U haven't got one yet , so this is going to be a puppy, maybe u can ask the breeder to hold for u , or sit for u while u r in India.
Have a great trip.

I don't believe India is a place you want to travel with your dog unless you are very well connected in the middle and upper classes.

My last trip to India was in 1998 so quite some time ago. But I do want to share with you just two of my experiences there, as it has to do with dogs. We were in Rajisthan, at the Red Fort, and we were at a look out point, just admiring the view. There were a few sheep grazing in the grass below us, and then, along came three dogs. They hunted these sheep, worked as team. Two observers who I assume were native Indians, took off down the slope, by the time they got there, the dogs had sliced open one of the sheeps neck. they carried this sheep back up the slope, while the other with stick in hand chased off the dogs. This was on the outskirts of a major Indian city.

Often times in walking the streets of an Indian city, I'd see stray dogs. Mangy, dirty, ribs showing through. Well one day coming back to the hostel after dinner, I saw a pup. Crying, shivering, (it was cool out that night), what I think was the mother, dead a little distance behind the pup. I kind of lost it. I made my friend, go to any open restaurant and beg some milk, then I made him go back to our hostel, and get my heaviest sweater, and then when he came back, I said no way am I leaving this pup here, I wrapped him up, took the milk, and said Saunder, you have to help me sneak him into the hostel. And god bless him so he did.
The next morning I marched down to the desk, and spoke to the manager. I told him, what I had done, and said, please help me find a home for this pup. He is loving, affable and friendly. Also I need some warm milk, and some porridege, for right now. I will be here all day. I will go with any reputable person, to a vet for his examination, furthermore, I will prepay this vet for this dogs first year of life vet care. Spay and neuter, vaccinations, deworming, health checks, etc.

And so I waited. The milk and food were delivered to my room 4x that day. In the evening the manager called me and said I have two woman for you to meet. And so I did in the restaurant next door. I could tell by their dress they had the wherewithall. But it was evening no vets open then. EAch meet the pup, I observed their interaction. Their english was pretty good. I said if I let you have this pup, you must go to the vet of my choosing. It will be one fairly near to this hotel. By now I had gotten the names of some vets and called them.
Anyhow to make this shorter (lol), the next day I went with the one lady I thought would be best for him, and we took him to the vet. Luckily his initial visit was good. Although I couldn't know at that time about what fecal or blood work would show. I settled up with the vet. The lady left with the dog. I heard from that vet for two years, she did bring him in for routine exams, did vaccinate, and did spay this boy.

Anyhow, all this to say, I would not take a pup, nor a full grown dog to India, unless as I said before, I was staying with friends there, who a)owned dogs, and b) had the fenced space to run them in.

You received very good advice. Find someone to watch the dog, and leave it home if you go to India. I would never take one of our dogs out of the country unless I was permanently relocating there.

Thank you all so much for your advice and stories. I do think I would feel much better knowing my pup was safe & healthy at home!

I also read online that some guy had taken his dog to India and got caught up in a major issue with the airlines who were trying to force a $1000 bribe out of him. They refused to walk, feed, water the dog in the heat! eek! Couldn't handle that!
