Starting a new life with your pet in Canada

Some of the most common conditions (may vary by airline) are:

• You can take a cat or small dog in the cabin if it is small and will be comfortable in its cage under the seat in front of you.
• Only one cat or small dog is allowed in the cabin per passenger.
• The pet must be at least 12 weeks old and remain in a closed pet carrier under its seat at all times.
• There are limits on the size of the cage if you wish to take your pet in the cabin.
• Your pet in its carrier will count as a carry-on item.
• If your pet is large, you will probably have to carry it in the cargo compartment.
• Charges ($) may apply
• The airline may require you to register your pet in advance.
• Other conditions and restrictions may apply.

It is also important to be informed about the regulations in Canada. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is the agency that establishes the requirements for the entry of animals into the country. For example, pit bulls are prohibited in Ontario.

It is also worth knowing the regulations in the different provinces of the country, for example in Montreal it is mandatory that dogs and cats have a microchip (to identify a lost animal) and that they are sterilized.

Once you arrive in Canada, enjoy this wonderful country with your pet!
