Our method
Trust should be inspectable.
Our publishing process keeps sources, dates, uncertainty, and responsibility visible.
Official sources come first
We start with government agencies, international authorities, destination-country ministries, and official carrier policies. Commercial summaries can help locate a rule, but they do not replace the authority that sets it.
Source identity
Every guide names the authority and links to the exact page used.
Review date
The source review date is separate from the article publish and update dates.
Rule scope
We state the route, species, travel purpose, and other conditions behind an answer.
Uncertainty
When a general guide cannot safely resolve an exception, we say so clearly.
How a guide is reviewed
- Define the route, species, movement type, and date context.
- Collect the current official authority pages for export, import, and transit.
- Separate legal entry requirements from airline acceptance policies.
- Translate waiting periods and validity windows into a usable sequence.
- Record the official-source review date and link every primary source.
- Recheck high-impact guides when authorities announce relevant changes.
What PetRoutes is not
PetRoutes is not a government authority, veterinarian, airline, customs broker, or pet relocation provider. Our guides are planning information. Your final travel plan must be confirmed with the relevant authorities, an accredited veterinarian where required, and the operating airline.
Corrections
Rules move quickly. If an official source conflicts with a PetRoutes page, follow the official source and email [email protected] with the guide URL and authority link.
