Have you ever wondered what it takes to bring your pet with you when you move abroad? In this Gente de Grecia we will learn about the work of the people at Pet Lounge Costa Rica. A company dedicated to helping you take your loyal furry companion anywhere in the world.
Taking a pet abroad is a complicated process and sometimes involves several steps, but with Pet Lounge Costa Rica you can rest assured that your pet will arrive safe and sound.
Connecting families with their pets around the world
Pet Lounge Costa Rica began its work 13 years ago, a company that was born to fill a niche that had not been exploited in the country: the safe transportation of pets!
Pet Lounge Costa Rica specialises in the international transport of pets and helps pet owners with this process, providing assistance before, during and after the transport. They make sure to help with health procedures, obtaining international veterinary certificates and complying with vaccination and worming requirements.
In addition, their aim is to provide a comfortable and safe travel experience, making the process easier for both owners and pets.
Alajuela at the epicentre of the action
Pet Lounge Costa Rica is located in Alajuela, a very convenient location due to its proximity to the Juan Santamaria International Airport, from where they can operate their transport and provide efficient support.
The city of Alajuela is known for its warm weather and its proximity to the Juan Santamaria International Airport, an ideal location for all types of companies with international business or logistical issues with shipments, such as Pet Lounge Costa Rica.
All aboard!
Pet Lounge offers an integrated door-to-door transport service, which involves collecting the pet from your home, dealing with health and customs formalities and then coordinating with the airline to take the pet to its destination.
Each journey is tailored to the specific requirements of the destination country and the animal in question. In addition to kittens and puppies, they have transported animals such as ferrets and ornamental fish.
Safety and comfort
In order to bring a pet into a country, you will need an international veterinary certificate that guarantees the pet’s health. There are also some compulsory vaccinations (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and leptospirosis), including rabies.
There are some countries where quarantine periods are required to eliminate possible diseases, so before moving to Costa Rica, or any other country for that matter, consider the quarantine periods required when planning your move.
In addition, there are some breeds that may be restricted or difficult to move, such as brachycephalic breeds, such as Bulldogs and Persians, due to possible respiratory problems.
