General information

Those who wish to enter canines, felines or other non-traditional pets into the Argentine Republic can consult the requirements and modalities by clicking here (spanish).

As a general rule, all animals must have an international veterinary certificate (CVI) issued by the Veterinary Authority of the country of origin. In the case of Canada, it is a form available on the CFIA ("Canadian Food Inspection Agency") website. It is important to select the trilingual form, since Argentina requests it in Spanish. Once completed by a registered veterinarian, you must have it certified by the CFIA, requesting an appointment with said agency.

The CVI must contain:

1.     Health certificate issued within 10 days prior to the issuance of the CVI, which certifies that the animal is clinically healthy, without evidence of parasitosis and that it is suitable for transport.
2.     Proof of anti-rabies vaccination, when applicable.
3.     Deworming: Treatment against internal and external parasites within 15 days prior to the issuance of the CVI.
4.     The CVI is valid for 60 calendar days from the date of its issuance.

Finally, boarding your pet must be coordinated directly with the airline. We recommend contacting it in order to verify conditions and restrictions for the route and travel date.
