A relative comparison of entry paperwork for dogs and cats travelling from the continental US: 5 means fewer formalities, 1 means more extensive preparation. It does not rate cost, animal welfare, airline availability or breed acceptance; no pet move is effortless.
Not every animal or breed can automatically travel. Other species, destination breed restrictions and transit rules need separate checks; airlines may reject breeds the destination permits.
