SAG Health Certificate: Requirements for Traveling with Pets
Introduction
Traveling with your pet from Chile requires meeting health requirements set by the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) and, in some cases, by the authorities of the destination country. Properly completing the health certificate avoids border rejections, delays, and unnecessary stress for your animal. Below we detail the process, the required documentation, and how our home veterinary service facilitates the entire procedure.
Benefits of Processing the Certificate with a Home Service
- Less stress for the pet: examination and preparation in their usual environment.
- Time savings: we perform vaccination, microchip implantation, and certificate issuance in the same visit whenever possible.
- Documentation ready: we deliver the booklet and the certificate with the required signature.
