There are no import permits to apply for when relocating with your pet to Brazil so the only influence on the timefrane is whether your pet is vaccinated against Rabies or not. If they are, then we can arrange their travel quickly, in as little as a week. If they do not have a Rabies vaccination then they can travel 21 days after the vaccine is adminstered.
Flight costs are based on the size of your pet's travel crate, which is determined by their measurements. This ensures your pet travels comfortably and safely, in compliance with IATA and airline regulations. This means the smaller the pet than the lower the cost, with cats being the most economical to transport to Brazil.
There are further costs to consider in Brazil, as it has customs fees due upon arrival, all of which can be included as an option in our quote.

All pets must have a Rabies vaccine to travel to Brazil. If your pet already has a valid vaccination, administered within the past year, then there is no wating period before being able to travel. If they do not have a valid vaccination then there is a mandatory waiting period of 21 days before being able to travel.
It is worth noting that Brazil to not accept three year Rabies Vaccines, therefore despite having a valid vaccination your pet may need a booster before being able to travel, however in this case there would be no waiting period as this would be classified as a booster.
However, we still advise all pets to be vaccinated against Lepto, DHPP and Kennel Cough (Dogs) and FVRCP (Cats) for good measure, and these will be required should you wish to pre-board your pet with us.
The good news for is there are no blood tests required when relocation either Cats or Dogs from the UK to Brazil!
To enter Brazil your pet will need an Export Health Certificate, completed within 10 days of departure.
This must be completed by an Official Vet (OV) who ensures that your pet meets the entry requirements before the final sign-off. This then accompanies your pet on their journey, which will ensure they are permitted to enter the country without any delays!
We include the option for our airport vets to complete this at the airport before departure.
No, quarantine is not required when pets travel from the UK to Brazil.
There are multiple airports pets can fly into Brazil from the UK.
Daily direct flights are available to Sao Paulo (GRU) and Rio de Janeiro (RIO) with LATAM and British Airways departing from London, LHR.
With a transit flight via Lisbon (LIS) from Heathrow, Gatwick, or Manchester, TAP Airlines offers flights to many more popular Brazilian destinations, such as Fortaleza, Natal, Recife, and Porto Alegre, among others.
Each airline has different restrictions on the pets they carry; therefore, when provided with a quote, we will select the best option for you and your pet! Find out more on our Airline page.
Provided the correct measures are put in place, then yes, we can transport many snub-nosed pets to the Brazil, but this will only be at specific times of the year when temperatures are lower.
Only 5% of snub-nosed pets suffer from BOAS (Brachycephalic Obstructive Airways Syndrome); therefore, with the correct preparation, we can ship many breeds of snub-nosed pets safely to Brazil.
Find out more on our BOAS (Snub Nosed) page.
The only breeds banned from import into Brazil are Pit Bulls and crossbreeds of Pit Bulls.
Pets by Plane did an amazing job organising all the logistics to get my anxious 11 year old labradoodle out to Salvador, Brazil.
It was the most difficult and challenging part of our relocation process but Freddie handled everything so well and professionally. I’m SO pleased that I put my trust in him - I instinctively knew everything would work out well after our first phone call. My girl Chica left the U.K. 6 weeks ago and she is now living her best life out by the beach! I’m about to join her in 2 days and I’m SO excited!!!
