Moving with your pet
Pick your route. Each guide gives a one-line answer, the rules with sources, and a timeline you can turn into dates with the planner.
India to the United States
Yes, but dogs face the strictest rules of any common route. Plan for at least 2 months from the first rabies vaccine, and longer for a puppy. Cats are much simpler.
India → UKIndia to the United Kingdom
Yes, but you must start at least 4 months before you fly: a rabies blood test 30 days after vaccination, then a 3-month wait from the blood draw. On Air India, pets fly to the UK only as cargo.
India → AustraliaIndia to Australia
Not directly. Australia does not accept dogs or cats straight from India. Your pet must first go to an approved country and complete Australia's preparation there, which takes at least 6 months.
Into IndiaBringing a pet into India
Yes, up to two dogs or cats per passenger, with an advance NOC from the animal quarantine service (AQCS). Check eligibility first: for a transfer of residence you need proof of at least two years living abroad.
