There’s a process, but it’s easy to bring your fur babies with you when you move to Panama. Each airline has different pet policies.  Find the airline that has the most friendly pet policy for your type pet then book your flight and your pets flight at least 2-3 months in advance.  Then, make sure your pet is up to day on their vaccinations.  Thirty days before you move to Panama, you will need to get an international health certificate issued by a vet who is certified to issue them.  The next step is getting the health certificate authenticated by the agriculture department then another authentication from the Panama Consulate in your country.   Simultaneously, you’ll need to get authorization to bring your pets in to Panama and get a home quarantine certificate.  Don’t worry, during a Panama Relocation Tours we will give you all the details about reliable contacts who can help with the entire process of getting your pets in to Panama in the most affordable and safe way.  It’s approximately $500 – $600 per pet to bring them in to Panama.  This price includes airfare, vet certifications, and authentications in both countries.   It’s a simple process to bring your pets in to Panama.  There is no need to hire a pet relocation company who will charge about $3000 per pet.

PET CARE IN PANAMA

Once your pets get to Panama, now what? What kind of care can you expect? What food is available?  Will you be able to still spoil your little prince or princess in the matter that they are accustomed? The answer is absolutely!

Panama has veterinarians that are as highly trained as they are in the country where you originate. Some vets speak perfect English but some don’t.  You can get recommendations from fellow expats about which vet they use.  All of the vets here that I have encountered are not only knowledgeable but have the latest technological equipment and services available. So if you are bringing your little fur kids in for an annual checkup, or a more serious procedure, you can rest assured that “Sir Barksalot” or “Miss Whiskers” will get the best possible care in Panama!
