Pet Transport to Santiago, Chile
Moving your pet from Los Angeles to Santiago requires careful adherence to the rules set by Chile’s Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG). Our team ensures that your dog or cat meets all requirements for a safe, quarantine-free entry into Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCL).

To successfully import your pet into Chile, the following steps must be completed:
- Microchip: An ISO 11784/11785 compliant microchip is required.
- Rabies Vaccination: Must be administered between 30 days and 12 months prior to travel.
- Core Vaccinations: Dogs require Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and Parvovirus. Cats require Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia.
- Internal & External Parasite Treatment: Administered within 30 days of travel.
- USDA Health Certificate: A specific health certificate for Chile must be issued by a USDA-accredited vet and endorsed by the USDA within 10 days of the flight.
Arrival in Santiago
When your pet lands in Santiago:
- They will be transferred to the SAG inspection facility at SCL.
- SAG inspectors will verify the microchip and review the original USDA-endorsed paperwork.
