We personally shipped my Lab-Rott pup last May via Supperferry:
1. first make sure it has vaccinations against rabies and distemper-parvo as these are required for shipping.
(naa free anti-rabies sa Pier I ba to.. Inquire lang sa National Quarantine Office, 2334283)
2. acquire a kennel cab- this is airline approved/ sa boat pwede lang katong collapsable cage
3. pag-abot nimo sa Pier 6, bayad mo shipping fee to ship your dog, naa sa left side sa main entrance.
(shipping fee will depend on declared value of the dog when acquired)
4. present dog's vaccination certificate to quarantine (with office at airport and pier). they will issue a quarantine permit.
5. present yourself and dog in appropriate carrier at pier. present tickets and permits.
6. pwede ra ka magbayad og porter to carry the dog in the cage to the boat, P30 is enough.
7. make sure that the dog is in a properly ventilated area. katong kami, didto nila gibutang sa kilid sa cafeteria uban sa mga manok.
wala sila allocated space dyud for animails. ambot lang but they didn't mind na from time to time ginapagawas namo amo pup.
as long as accompanied siguro, mahadlok man gud ako pup byaan... magsige hilak. sige siguro hilabtan sa uban when were not around
so i would advice that you have something to cover the collapsable cage para secure ang feeling sa imo pup. sometimes curious kids and
sometimes adults like to poke or tease the pup mao nang mahadlok.
8. its also advisable for long trips like this to have toys and pillows sa cage sa imo pup.

sir, very helpful information..ty

Pet Transit Tips


Always carry a leash with you so that you may walk the dog before check in and after arrival.

For your pet's safety, do not place the leash inside the kennel or attach it to the outside of the crate.

Only let your pet out of its container after leaving the airport building.

Make sure your pet's nails are trimmed short so they don't get snagged on the carrier openings.

Inquire with the airlines about additional insurance. It may be a minimal amount but can result in more attention being given to your pet.

Note that advance arrangements are not guarantees that your pet will travel on a prearranged flight.

Be sure to reconfirm with the airline 24-72 hours prior to departure, and remind them that you plan to ship an animal.

If you are shipping your pet as cargo, 1-7 days notice should be given.

A "Certificate of Acclimation" issued by a licensed vet may be required for extreme weather conditions. Travel through Asia may be affected as flights through Japan and Korea may experience quite cold temperatures and Manila is almost always above 85 degrees F. Check with your carrier regarding temperature restrictions.

Also be sure pets are not left caged in excessive temperatures or direct sunlight. Inquire if you will need to claim and re-check your pet between connecting flights, and if you can walk and interact with your animal during the layovers.

You may decide to leave your pet in the USA until you have moved into your new home or at least until it is staffed with people who will walk and feed your pet. Temporarily housing a pet in a kennel is not typical in the Philippines. One option may be to put your pet in an animal hospital or clinic for the duration of your temporary housing. However, obviously by doing this for an extended period you run the risk of exposing your pet to diseases and it may be costly.

It is recommended your pet be lightly exercised before the flight and placed in the airline-approved carrier. Certification signed by the shipper must be attached to the kennel stating that the animal has been offered food & water within four hours prior to drop-off.

Airlines suggest that animals are not to be fed within two hours prior to departure.

USDA-approved shipping crates can be purchased through pet supply stores or airlines.

Consult your air carrier regarding time and location appropriate for drop-off. Many airlines state that dogs and cats must not be brought to the airline for shipping more than four hours (six hours if special arrangements made) before departure.

The pet should be familiarized with the crate prior to the trip by encouraging them to sleep, eat and drink while in the crate at home. Place the open crate in your house with familiar toys or a blanket to encourage your pet to enter it under relaxed circumstances.

If you are breaking up the flight or transiting through several airports, be sure to inquire about quarantine or pet accommodations at those stopover locations.

For security, tape to the outside of the carrier in an envelope a photocopy of the pet's medical records. Owners should hand carry pet medical records, home vet contact information, color photographs of the pet with and without the owner (if pet is accidentally released or stolen in transit), and any pet medications needed throughout the trip. At present there is no microchip scanning capabilities available in the Philippines. There is also no dog licensing required at this time in any of the villages.

Carrier Standards

There are many minimum standard requirements for the pet transport carrier itself.


Size and strength - Kennels must be enclosed, with room for the animal to stand naturally, turn around and lie down. The door latch must close tightly but be easy to open. No locks or special tools should be needed to open the crate in case of emergency. No wheels may be on the carriers. It must be strong enough to withstand normal rigors of transportation. The interior must be free of any interior projections.


Sanitation - Crates must have a leak-proof bottom. Absorbent bedding such as shredded paper, towels, newspaper (use black & white print as color can be toxic to animals) or padding (some airlines request no litter) should line the bottom of the carrier to absorb accidents and to act as a cushion. International travelers must be aware that no straw, hay or wood shavings are allowed. Wire or other ventilated sub-floors are generally allowed; pegboard flooring is prohibited. Cages that are all wire are not acceptable.


Ventilation - one end open that is securely covered with attached bars (weld mesh or smooth), expanded metal to provide ventilation (openings must make up for at least 14% of the total wall space), at least one third of the openings must be located in the top half of the kennel. Kennels must also have rims, offering at least three-quarters of an inch clearance, to prevent ventilation openings from being blocked by other cargo, For international flights ventilation openings must be on all four sides (but it must be impossible for the animal to put it's nose or paws through). Never muzzle your pet as it may severely restrict your animal's ability to breath and regulate it's body temperature by panting.


Grips and markings - Kennels must have grips or handles for lifting to prevent cargo personnel from having to place their fingers inside the kennel and risk bites. Proper labeling "live animal" (lettering at least one inch high) is required. Most Filipinos understand English and would probably be familiar with the marking "live animal" at the baggage handler level. Arrows indicating upright position on all sides, and owners name, telephone, local contact address, or if travelling overseas to a new residence, the address and telephone number of a friend or relative in the USA as an emergency contact, and any special instructions for the handlers.


Animals per kennel - Dogs and cats may not be allowed to travel in the same kennel, depending on the airline. Each kennel can usually not contain more than one dog or cat, or no more than 2 puppies or kittens younger than 6 months, of similar size, and under 20 pounds each


Feeding & watering - Puppies or kittens less than 16 weeks of age are in transit more than 12 hours, food and water must be provided. Older animals must have food at least every 24 hours and water at least every 12 hours. Written instructions for food and water must be provided with all animals shipped regardless of the scheduled time in transit. This is particularly important if the flight is rerouted. The crate must have two dishes, one for food, the other for water, secured inside, to which water/food can be added without opening the transport carrier. For trips lasting longer than 24 hours, it is recommended some dry food be attached to the exterior of the carrier for in-flight feeding.

Be sure the kennel you choose is airline approved.

Do not include ice cubes or chew toys inside the crate as they pose a choking hazard, though a familiar scented towel or tee-shirt may be comforting to the animal.

It is recommended that dogs should not wear choke chain collars and cats should wear breakaway collars to prevent injury.

Almost all sources suggest you do not use sedatives or tranquilizers as they affect the pet's ability to adjust to the movement of the plane and could affect the animal's ability to breathe at high altitudes. If your vet does recommend sedation, be sure to test the dosage prior to the trip to know how the pet will react. Airline personnel will not usually administer tranquilizers.

Remain in the boarding area until it is confirmed your pet has been loaded if travelling together. If you sit on the runway for an extended period and feel the ventilation may be inadequate, inquire with a flight attendant about the cargo hold temperatures.

Pick up your pet as soon as possible upon arrival.

mga pila kaha gyud ma gasto sa shippign lang?

[tsikay101]

havent tried though but ingon sila around 500 to 1000 (for those na kahibaw jud post lang sa exact figures )... depende ra man sad na sa kadak-on sa imong kennel cab, the smaller it is and the puppy, the lesser the cost of shipment.

[lloyd_joy]

500 php for the shipment fee sa PAL... dog was 2 months...kennel size kay nalimot ko...

[jensonbutton]

inquire na lang sa airline para sigurado, provide the exact dimensions sa kennel cab imo gamiton. 2003- nag ship ko sa akong iring (Cebu-Cagayan), 730 ako nabayran. Using the medium sized Vari-Kennel (kanang maka-fit ug beagle). Basin lain na ang rates karon.
