Regarding the question of what to do about your pets; bring them or keep them home as you don’t know what the housing situation will be like; I suggest seeing if a family member of friend can keep your dog and have it shipped later. sheeesh! Sorry for the 100 questions…Thanks in advance for your help…, Hi Jen, He did not mess himself in the cage and in Chicago I was allowed to take him to a grassy knoll while they did a rather unofficial looking “crate inspection”.

My neighbor lost her dog and after some research was found being held somewhere. Included in these links are how to fill out the advance notification forms (examples): http://www.maff.go.jp/aqs/english/qanda/dogcata.html, http://www.maff.go.jp/aqs/english/animal/dog/pdf/guidenonfree-e100415.pdf, http://www.maff.go.jp/aqs/english/animal/dog/pdf/notifi-dogcat-en.pdf.

40 yrs. Application for Importing/Inspection of a Dog.

Thank you so much for all of the great info it has put me a little more at ease about our possible PCS to Okinawa. I’m having a hard time understanding this because everyone that I have talked to, has used this Airline in NRT. We told ourselves that if they didn’t give us choices that allow animals we would go look off base. Of course, this is waived for you since you’re military, but you still have to met your pet at the port of entry in order to show your paperwork and get your animal through customs. We are looking at a Jan 1 move date but that is still up inthe air & it has been over a year since our dogs first rabies shot so doest that mean they only need 1 more shot.

However, what I received from KSU was not the original, it was a copy (yet it was in the format that the Narita AQS office expected to see). The information is compiled from the Erin Blunt’s Experience PCSing with our dog in detail which can be read in full detail on OkinawaHaiSociety. So 8 months later he arrived at the airport in England which is a 6 hour drive from where we live. I got word from a girl who just got to okinawa a week ago who went to the housing brief and All towers on ALL BASES are now cat friendly through out all floors and dog friendly on the 1st and 2nd floor.

We are PCSing to Okinawa at the beginning of May 2011. Trying to get my shihtzu to Okinawa, I went to the tmo, she told me theres no space available for amc, can I ask for a commercial fly, or I just got to leave her behind (and that’s a NO) do they got to find me something in commercial fly or is just like that, please help.

I just think the information isn’t out there for people to get the whole picture. I checked my pets in at the Kadena Vet clinic the day after I arrived. made it back from Okinawa to DC in one piece. Emily, Thank you so much! I’m not sure if that makes a difference regarding flying with our small Dachshund dog (in the cabin) or not. We recommend you have enough time for arrival procedure. However, ANA is saying they can’t book the cat’s spot because the flight number is a United flight number and not an ANA number.

If you are PCSing between 15 May and 15 Sept., be aware of heat restrictions. Hi Everyone!

4.

I don’t know what we would do if she was left behind because of the weather! Thanks for the info. I’m sooo glad I did that as I arrived here in July (after being notified of the move in April 2010).

They are telling me that they do not deal with pets. The flight may be unable to fly your pet due to temperatures at the transfer point exceeding 85 degrees Fahrenheit. I was excited about this because I wanted to be reassured that the crate was an okay size for our flights on ANA to Narita then United to Chicago then Chicago to National. why is it so hard to bring pets to England and Japan? I wish I could give you a one price fits all. However, I am not finding any clear information about how much it is actually going to cost to get fly her with us. That’s the exact opposite of what they told me in their first email and what the base vet has told me. My wife and I flew with both cats in cabin, via United airlines, from LAX to Narita.

But I knew in the end, it was the only way for them to have the lifestyle they were used to and for us not to incur major debt with this move. We had to fly commercial. Hi Christina – My husband and I are flying back to the states just to get our chihuahuas so I have done tons of research on this! Although I have a business, I have no problem with answering questions and helping you arrive, leave, board or find a good off base vet as a service. The thing to remember about any PCS – whether it’s overseas or CONUS – is that you’re going to encounter bad and good. If you are in the unfortunate position that I went through (AMC decided to forget to put my pets on the AMC flight, then told me that I would have to wait 2 months before I could get on a flight with the pets due to THEIR mistake) and considering shipping your pet unaccompanied, don’t even try. @Stacy – So sorry to hear that you’ll have to leave your cats behind. Once your 35 days are up, you will get paperwork stamped/signed from the vet and the cat can be taken off base. 4. I would have to go with her obviously to help out. How could playing with puppies not be fun? My husband and I knew that one of the first things we would do after moving to Okinawa was get a puppy. My worry is that recently I have seen a few sites stating that in base housing you can only have 2 pets. After your do successfully check in for a flight with pets, be sure you keep all documentation regarding proof of your payment of the extra fees. Also, the reason you can’t sedate your pets for travel is they can’t regulate body temp. If you need to take your dog to use the bathroom, there are patches of grass to the far left as you exit the airport (just past the police booth). I’ve been preparing for this since January and still is confusing. Always, avoid Narita at ALL Hi! I don’t believe you would use this form since you will use a civ vet. It’s been 2 years now and there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about him and look for him. We paid about $100 per dog. If you send her unacompanied it will be closer to $700. Thank you! Our cat is indoors only, so this was not an issue. If we are spending our money on the cats tickets and it is not on the “federal governments dime” why would they not accept them because of this act that only apply to government travel? Getting back to the states will cost you at least $1000 per bird with numerous test including setting up appointment for people to meet you at the airport to test your bird as soon as you get off the plain. I can post it to my page on http://okinawahai.ning.com/profile/JaxLew, until then stop the page by to see a slide show of pictures of our Beloved Beardie! I am curious about the quarantine period….

Browse thru thousands of Dogs for Adoption near in Japan area , listed by Dog Rescue Organizations and individuals, to find your match. And yes, travelling with a dog, no matter the size, is very stressful — but we love ’em — so it’s gotta be done! NOT try any other way. Getting all the paperwork ahead of time and preparing for the worst is the hardest part of PCSing with you pet. (We PCS’d here short notice in August ’12 from Germany and had to leave her with friends). Finding a positive in all of this we are PCSing July and the good thing about this is we can get settled and unpacked before out dog comes over in October.

You will need to bring your animal to the vet office within 72 hours of arrival to confirm everything so as to not get fined.

It’s more expensive to bring your pets overseas. Another option is to go with a very similar breed of dog from Austrailia and New Zealand since those countries are “regulated” zones according to Japan. Here is hoping!I may have more questions as we get closer, but thanks so much. I was wondering if anyone knew whether we could PSC with Chinchillas? Karing Kennels email is lisa.sanchez@kadena.af.mil.

You MUST make advance reservations to bring your pet on the plane. . Get booked on the AMC flight ASAP to secure the spot for your pet.

It is very expensive. Amber, we are PCSing with 2 cats around the same time and yes that is true. U can take ferrets, sugar gliders, guinea pigs, bunnies, sugar gliders and more. We will issue the import quarantine certificate if there is no problem. I’m really glad this was posted. They didn’t even take my pups out of the kennel.

Also, I scanned and emailed the notification forms to both Narita branch division 1 and 2 vs faxing them.

Hi, E-mail:haneda@aqs.maff.go.jp It had something to do with the animal not being able to properly regulate body temp as well esp. I’d like to put it out here that we are on the verge of completing an unaccompanied pet-as-cargo scenario with our 3 year old Bearded Collie.

It’s easy to say, “Get a house out in town.” But very few people have the cash in pocket to make that a reality. Going through all of the stress with our dogs flight was really terrible. I found this as well….in another thread on birds.

The issue is time to get dog from cargo to ANA flight. I was not able to get a AMC flight (actually happy) so have to fly Commercial with Delta. especially with pets. Osaka, to connect to All Nippon to Naha We get to the airport with our 3 cats and were told that we had to check them in as extra baggage!

My Question is, if I start the quarantine here in 29palms marine base, when it’s time for me to go to Okinawa, can I take my pup (3yrs old) with me on the plane if i have legal paperwork from doctors stating he is my therapy dog and need him with me to calm me down during flights to prevent having to pay the shipping and fees?

I would love to hear from anyone regarding PCS with a pet, in summer especially. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of someone going through this? Has anyone had issues getting the airlines to confirm the reservations for the dogs to fly? I am considering flying him out the day prior to us but am going crazy with all the information from each airline. Can any one suggest what I should do? It is MUCH cheaper to buy your own flight from the US all the way to Okinawa, especially if you buy through ANA from LAX. Of course I received the test result from the reference lab and not KSU where the actual test was ran. It was pretty stressful – but it turned out to be just fine. My wife and I were looking to do a possible early dependent return for her and what will be our 1 year old son to avoid the summer months restriction on pet travel.

and, 3. why are all the kitchen drawers too narrow to fit a silverware tray? I like it as it has all information on everything-forms/flying/recs/ restrictions in one place.

Oh and the puppy pads are an excellent idea. We are PCS’ing during the heat of the summer and may not be able to ship our dog at that time. Charles, if you can try to fly AMC (assuming they will let you put two dogs under your seats, and a 3rd one in cargo). I’m all for it. Your dogs can finish out their quarantine in house as long as you live on base. I would highly recommend adopting from OAARS when your home is ready for a fur baby.

I was told there would still be an additional fee (when requesting the pet space for that flight portion a few weeks prior), but the check in agent didn’t ask for one.
