Taking Pets to Argentina
Pet travel to Argentina is becoming more and more common. British Airways have a direct flight there and there are indirect flights that we can use at different times of the year.
The veterinary preparation is reasonably simple Pets traveling to Argentina will require microchip identification and a rabies booster vaccination; the rabies vaccination must be given not less than 30 days and not more than 12 months prior to the date of travel. Then the pets will need a check with a UK government vet within 5 days of the flight and export paperwork completing.
If you are Argentinian then we’ll require your CUIL (Unique Tax ID) in order to make a booking with the airline. If you are any other nationally your passport number is acceptable.
The trickiest part about flying your pets to any South American country, including Argentina, is clearing them when they land. The customs clearance process can be very long and very expensive. It is mandatory to use an agent to land your pets in Argentina and the agent will liaise with the customs officials and be able to clear your pet quicker and more cheaply than you can as an individual. At Petair UK, we have flown many pets to South America, so either we can put you in touch with your our recommended broker or we can work with your own broker.

3 cats travelled from Scotland to Costa Rica
Flying during a global pandemic is not easy. Relocating half way across the world with no direct flights and 3 cats makes it even more challenging. PetAir UK have been so helpful to us over the last few months. We were relocating to Costa Rica in one of the most challenging times in recent history. PetAir constantly helped provide options for us – looking at different routing/carrier options and making sure that the cats were looked after in the UK for a period between when we had to fly and when the cats could fly. They handled everything from collecting our cats in Scotland, boarding them for a few weeks in London, flying to to Costa Rica via Madrid and liaising with our import agent at this end. Everybody we’ve dealt with at PetAir UK has been incredibly helpful and they are priced extremely well. I have absolutely no reservations recommending PetAir UK and would use them again. E-mails have always been responded to within a few hours and they’ve made the entire process as easy as possible.
