Inspired Overseas Living

Before you decide that moving to Uruguay is for you, you must be informed as to how this decision will affect your entire family, including your pets. Moving overseas with pets is possible, but can be tricky and require a great deal of time and money. You must first provide a letter form your pets current veterinarian that shows your animals is healthy and that it is up to date on all of its required vaccinations. Your pet will also be required to be inspected by the countries health department, and may have to be quarantined for varied period of time, ranging from 7 days to 6 months. You will be responsible for paying for your pets care during this time, and any medical treatment that it may need before being released into the country. You may also have to pay for additional vaccinations that the country requires that your pet did not receive before you left the States. Contact your veterinarian and the health department in Uruguay to determine what steps and precautions you will have to take before moving your pet overseas. Doing so can save a lot of money and stress for both you and your pet.
