Taking Pets to Colombia
In terms of routes, for a direct flight from UK to Colombia we use Avianca if they are flying, or there are indirect routes we can use.
Some countries require an import permit for pets, however Colombia does not. You also are not required to microchip your pet, although it’s still recommended. However, you pets should have been vaccinated for rabies more than 30 days before travel and not more than 12 months, but the vaccination should still be in date. And the pets need to have been resident in UK for at least 6 months before travel. When entering the country from the UK you will also need to vaccinate your pets against parainfluenza and coronavirus. Pets need a government export health certificate completing by a government vet. The vets with Petair UK can perform these tasks. This will prove that your pet is healthy and up to date with vaccines.
Clearing pets after landing in Colombia is tricky, so you have to use an agent to help you. The agents can be expensive and the customs fees on landing can also be expensive. At Petair we are used to working with agents in Colombia so we are perfectly poised to help you.

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.
