Start earlier than you think

Pet import rules are one of the few areas of trip planning where "book it and figure it out later" genuinely doesn't work — rabies-free destinations like Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, and several Caribbean islands often require blood titer tests with mandatory waiting periods that can run months, not weeks.

Even in more accessible destinations, the health certificate your vet issues is usually only valid for a short window before departure — so timing your vet visit correctly matters as much as getting the paperwork itself right.
