Remy has flown internationally to a French collectivity (IE - Same laws as France)
My first suggestion is to research the laws of your destination country and make sure you have all requirements addressed.
A few of the requirements I am aware of include:
(1) Requirement that the pup has an EU-compliant microchip (ie - 15 digits) some of the US microchip products are only 9 digit and do not comply. If your pup is already chipped, you need to ensure it complies and functions.
(2) Updated veterinary exam, possibly with a signed certification from your vet. In our case, it had to be completed within 48 hours of our departure.
(3) Current rabies shots and paperwork documenting the rabies vaccine / date
This list is not exhaustive, and is what I recall from our trip last year.
Second, research updated laws regarding US re-entry. The biggest requirement was rabies vaccine documentation, as I recall. You need to double check this.
Third, make sure you have all of your pups documentation and paperwork with you (I also included his picture with this), similar to how you carry your passport.
Get to the airport extra early. We had to go the desk for the airline personnnel to review all paperwork prior to security.
Good luck and enjoy the trip. I found international travel with Remy to be fairly easy!
