Your mailbox may suddenly have an influx of brochures. I strongly recommend contacting the tourist offices, airlines, hotels, and other sources listed in this book before leaving home. Most tourist offices flooded my mailbox with beautiful brochures and applications for visas. Only two countries did not reply after repeated attempts to obtain information about importing pets. I have included as many countries of the world as I could. The information provided in this book was verified as much as possible before publication. I hope that you will consider traveling internationally with your pet and that this book will provide useful information as you pursue a new travel adventure. Realizing other travelers with pets might have similar questions about traveling internationally and thus appreciate a resource to help them explore the possibilities, I came up with the idea for this book. We also found that there was no single source for finding information on whether or not pets were allowed into a certain country. When we started looking for destinations, we could not find the specific regulations for our proposed destinations. With such a small dog, we were optimistic that we would be able to travel and take Izzy along. The solution finally occurred to me: take Izzy along! I would admit that taking Izzy, our six-pound Maltese, presents a different scenario than taking our previous pet, a 140-pound Rottweiler. We frequently wished our dog were with us, particularly when our trips lasted two weeks or more. Then, while we were away, we would wonder how our dog was doing. We have always had a dog and thus have had to make arrangements for the care of our pet during our absence, often for three weeks or more. For us there has always been a problem associated with travel…what to do with the family pet.

My wife knows that during each vacation I often begin to plan and anticipate the next one. Globetrotting pets : an international travel guide / David J.
