All right- Jason and I are going back to Dallas at the end of the month to pick up the dogs from his parents' and fly them out. Needless to say, I'm worried silly about all the things that could go wrong.
I've written to their vet and his dad has their vaccination certificates and two more originals should be on their way here. The quarantine already got a copy sent directly to them with their blood test results from Kansas State. They're on their flea/tick/heartworm meds. We've scheduled a wellness check for just before we leave to come back here, so it will be within 10 days of arrival. They're microchipped and all that's recorded along with their 2 shots. I'm just waiting for their vaccination certificates to get here so I can fill out the Dog Import Form, get it notorized, and mail it in with the $$ so it will be before 14 days of their arrival (Jan 9th).
We have to fly American, unfortunately. But they're going in the baggage, not cargo, which they said is different. And they've requested we have water bottles accessible to be refilled on the outside of the kennels, so that makes me feel a little better. And we're flying nonstop.
I think we have all the bases covered. I have copies of everything. Anybody have any suggestions? Tips? Warnings? Am I forgetting anything? I am so scared I forgot something and the quarantine is going to keep them anyway, even though they're authorized to come in to the state on the 7th and I've quadruple-checked it and have it in writing. Any reassuring stories?
