But this does not mean that everything is very easy and simple. It all depends on where you are going and what kind of transport.
If you decide to travel abroad, then you will have to issue all the relevant documents. First of all, we need veterinary passport. Many people believe that a passport is available onlythose animals that are in the club. But this is not so. Owners of "club" animals receive pedigrees, which gives them the right to participate in various exhibitions and breed pedigree animals.
However, pedigree when boarding in transport,following in another country, you will not help. So the passport is necessary, and you may also need a certificate of health from the veterinary institution; international certificate; a certificate of the animal's condition 72 hours before the departure or departure of the aircraft.
Primary and mandatory vaccination for all countries - inoculation against rabies. It must be done no earlier than a monthbefore going abroad and no later than a year. When crossing the border, you may also need other documents, so try to find out what requirements the country that you are going to visit is demanding. The necessary information can be obtained at the appropriate consulate.
If you do not travel outside the country and travel by train, remember that a special ticket for animals is issued at the ticket office of the station. A veterinary passport is not necessary here, buta certificate on the state of health of the animal is still needed. Transportation in trains of all categories of small domestic animals, dogs and birds is allowed in excess of the established norm for carrying hand luggage in all wagons, except for cars with 2-seater coupe (SW) and cars of increased comfort. Animals are transported in boxes, baskets, cages, containers, which must be placed on the ground for hand luggage. When transporting, owners or attendants must comply with the sanitary-hygienic regime.
To transport dogs of large breeds it is possible only in muzzles and with a leash under the supervision of owners or attendants inthe non-working vestibule of the first behind the locomotive of the car, in a separate compartment of the compartment car (except for the cars of high comfort) with payment of the full cost of all seats in the compartment, in the commuter train vestibule. Blind passengers are allowed to carry with them conduct dogs with them in carriages of all categories.
The passenger himself is obliged to take care of his animals: feed, water and clean up after them, as well as reimburse all damages that may arise due to violation of the requirements for transportation of animals. Animals are accepted for carriage 1 hour before the departure of the train, and their owners get a receipt. If you lose this receipt, animals can be given to you upon presentation of a document that certifies your identity, and evidence that the luggage belongs to you.
Animals should be received at the destination station preferably immediately upon arrival of the train, in which they were transported, the deadline - 12hours from the arrival of the train. If you decide to go with your four-footed friend on vacation or to an exhibition and have chosen the aircraft as the means of transportation, the carrier carrier must be informed about this in advance. Usually, for domestic flights, the availability of a veterinary certificate is sufficient (Form No. 1), which is issued three days beforetrips and really only during this time. It indicates the name of the owner, the name of the animal, its gender and age, the dates of vaccinations and the results of tests for worms. Besides, The certificate must specify the route.
