Pet relocation from Pakistan to USA
Pakistan is a CDC high-risk rabies country — dog imports are a compliance maze we run daily.
What USA requires from Pakistan
Pakistan is treated as a high-risk rabies country by most Western destinations, so the checklist below is stricter than what pets from Europe or the Gulf face. Order matters — several steps are invalid if done out of sequence.
- Dogs 6 months or older only (CDC rule)
- ISO microchip + CDC Dog Import Form receipt
- Rabies titer from a CDC-approved lab, or reservation at a CDC-registered quarantine facility
- Arrival only at airports with a CDC animal care facility
- USDA-accredited destination paperwork coordinated with the airline
Worth knowing: Cats skip nearly all of this — a cat to the US is closer to the Canada process.
What it costs
A cat typically runs $700–$1,800 all-in on this corridor; a dog $1,500–$4,000 depending on size, airline, and season. That covers the Pakistan-side vet work, permits and export certificate, the IATA crate, the flight, and coordination with clearance on arrival. Your quote is one number — nothing stacked on later.
How we run this corridor
We sequence the paperwork backwards from your travel date: microchip and vaccinations first, the export certificate through the Pakistan Single Window in its narrow validity window, and the airline booking confirmed in writing before you pay. On departure day we handle crate checks and cargo check-in at the airport, and you get updates until the crate opens at the destination.
