Requirements to bring your pet into Chile
Chile’s agricultural authority (SAG) controls pet imports. Rules vary by origin country, so we handle the exact checklist for your nationality, route and date.
Valid rabies vaccination
Administered after the microchip and valid on arrival. Keep the original certificate: SAG checks it together with the health certificate.
Official health certificate
Issued by the veterinary authority of your origin country (USDA-APHIS for the United States, for example) and valid for the entry window your advisor confirms.
Internal and external deworming
Applied shortly before travel and recorded in the pet health record.
Airline-compliant crate
Cabin pets travel in an airline-approved carrier; larger pets fly as checked baggage or manifested cargo in an IATA crate.
SAG entry review
Chile’s agricultural authority (SAG) reviews documents and the pet’s condition at the port of entry. With everything in order, entry is straightforward.
Veterinary requirements change from time to time. Your advisor confirms the current rules before anything is filed.
How the process works
3–4 weeks before
Tell us your route and date. We review your pet’s paperwork against SAG requirements and reserve the pet allowance on your flight.
2 weeks before
Vaccines and microchip verified. Crate measured and purchased if your pet flies in the hold.
Days before departure
Health certificate issued and endorsed by your origin country’s authority, deworming applied, travel protocol confirmed.
Arrival in Santiago
SAG document review at the airport and reunion. No quarantine when requirements are met.
Frequently asked questions
Does my pet need quarantine to enter Chile?
No. Chile does not quarantine dogs and cats that arrive with a valid official health certificate and rabies vaccination in order. SAG performs a documentary and physical review at the airport.
Which documents does Chile require?
The base set: microchip, valid rabies vaccination, official health certificate from your country’s veterinary authority, and deworming records. Exact requirements and validity windows depend on your origin country — we handle the current checklist for you.
I’m moving to Chile for work (mining, energy, academia). Can you handle everything while I travel?
Yes. Our full relocation service manages documents, flight booking, crate and delivery while you focus on your move. You can also travel first and have your pet join you later.
Do you help with the return trip to my home country?
Yes, both directions. Export paperwork from Chile (SAG certificates) and import requirements at destination are handled as one plan.
What languages do you speak?
Spanish is our working language, but our advisors help English-speaking clients every week through WhatsApp — including coordination with airlines and vets. You are never on your own.
What exactly does the full service include?
Everything, from the day you hire us to the reunion at Santiago airport: we review your pet’s vaccination record and microchip, advise on airlines, routes and seat selection, brief you on the pre-flight feeding and bathroom protocol, handle all the paperwork with SAG, and explain every document and how to present it to the airline. Any question you have along the way, we answer on WhatsApp — 100% success rate: we’ve never left a pet on the ground.
