Bringing Dogs and Cats to India from Australia

Bringing a dog or cat from Australia to India takes preparation before the journey. Pet Animals need to be microchipped, have a valid rabies vaccination, and a health certificate from a veterinarian before travel. In most cases, an import permit from the Animal Quarantine and Certification Service (AQCS) in India is also required. Getting these documents ready early usually helps avoid last-minute issues.

Airlines have their own set of rules and regulation when pets travel internationally. Smaller pets may sometimes go in the cabin, depending on size and airline policy. Larger dogs and cats usually travel as checked baggage or cargo. The travel crate should follow IATA guidelines and should have enough space for the pet to stand and turn comfortably. Airlines also look at weather conditions before confirming the booking.
When pets land in India, officials check the documents and may scan the microchip. If everything matches and the pet animals (dog and cat) looks healthy, clearance is usually done at the airport itself. In many cases, pets are released the same day once checks are complete.
