We flew ANA, bring some Tape if you can so you can tape the leash, water, and bag of kibble to the outside. Plus they wanted us to close the kennel with zip ties

It was pretty easy for us last night. Didnt really delay the process much, as it already takes 30-60 minutes to do all the quarantine paperwork, and the dog was waiting at luggage by the time we got out

You need a local agent because you can’t take dogs to quarantine. Relo4paws helped us and I highly recommend. He can explain the whole process but do it ASAP. I hope you’re not American because there may not be time to get the USDA clearance by next week.

We did our kids on their own separate COEs. Check out sea two pool villa, it’s the only quarantine with a private pool and large outdoor space in your room
