A user is looking for information on traveling with pets as a digital nomad, particularly regarding regulations and affordable vet care in different countries. A dedicated community or resource for pet-friendly travel advice would be beneficial.
Hi everyone. Im wanting to know about the DN''s out there that have brought their small pets with them, specifically small dogs. I would think that with pet import regulations between countries & airline policies between different airline companies (need dog in cabin with me), that it would be too much of a headache if one stays anything less than 6 months in any country. Especially since the process to bring pets into some countries can take a long time and would like to know which countries have long processes like australia & Japan supposedly, so I know to avoid going to those countries or at least know how far ahead I would need to start the process. What are some of the cheapest countries to live in (in consideration to the american $) that also have relatively good quality vet care? I would like to be a DN, but need to know how much of a hassle it is to get into most countries with my little dog. I just watched a vid that went over some regulations (https://youtu.be/ezpld10kJHQ?si=oCixKvovhMRHp4un) in terms of importing pets to a few countries, mainly canada, mexico, europe, australia, japan & what dogs need in order to leave the US, etc. Im likely not going to be leaving with a lot of money on me, so affordibility with living expenses & vet bills matters a lot. My little dog is older and theres simply no way I can leave her behind. If its just not practical to do, Id rather know now than find out later.
