What you need to know before you leave

Emigration 101

We hear it more and more – South African citizens leaving the country to look for greener pastures elsewhere. The sad part is that so many people leave their beloved furry friends behind, thinking that it is impossible to take them along, or even worse, they just couldn’t be bothered to go through the hassle. It has become such a phenomenon that animal rescue centres even include a question about potential emigration on their application forms now.

In this series of articles – of which this one is the first – we want to show you that, if you plan far enough in advance, it is possible to emigrate with your pets. And if you don’t know where to start, there are agencies that can assist you every step of the way.

Hazel Imrie, owner and founder of PETport; Estelle Fourie, owner of Animal Travel Services; and Lucille Smuts, chief executive officer of Keringa-Petwings share some valuable information with us…

Where to start

Hazel says that the first step is to contact a registered animal transport company, which is critically important. “With so much ‘fake news’ floating around on the internet, it is vital that you get the correct and accurate information from a specialist on how your beloved pet needs to be prepared. Incorrect information can delay your travel plans and have a significant cost implication in the long run,” she says.
