    Information for Tangy's Transport

    Prior to Transport

    Please take the time to fill out our
    Contract for services:
    and our Emergency Authorization Form:
    Vaccines Required For Ireland & the UK
    - Rabies - given at least 28 days prior to travel
    Forms Needed For Transport:
    Signed Valid Rabies Certificate
    USDA Endorsed Health Certificates for EU and UK
    Rabies Certificate must include Tangy's Microchip Number, Vaccine Name, Manufacturer, Lot Number, and signed in ink by the VetPlease make an appointment on Prior to Oct 25th for Tangy's USDA Health Certificate Exam*. We will complete most of it prior to the exam, attach our payment account, and a pre-paid shipping label and send it to your Vet in the VEHCS system prior to the appointment. That way, after the appointment, your Vet will only need to complete a few checkboxes then submit it to the USDA for endorsement.Once the USDA Endorses the certificate, you should receive an email from the USDA letting you know. The certificate is usually sent out the same day, unless it is late in the day, then it is sent out next day.CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
    I will send out a carrier this week for Tangy. The carrier will be wrapped up with the shoulder strap, which will need to be reattached on each side (one side is where the tag, food bowl, etc.. is hanging from.).
    Please place the carrier open in a common area where Tangy can explore it on his own time. You can try giving treats in the carrier, but don't close him in it.The goal is for Tangy to explore it on his own and become comfortable with it. But don't worry, even if he hates it, having it open in a common area in the house, it will become a familiar item to him. Once we are at the airport, that carrier suddenly is a little piece of home that is coming with him, his new safe space that smells like home. This greatly reduces anxiety and stress while traveling for him... and us, as he will want nothing more than to go back into his carrier.Please bring carrier with the shoulder strap, items attached (tag, bowl, waste bags, and lint roller) , items inside (pee pads, pad, blanket), along with the items in the pocket (extra pee pads, wipes, refreshing spray) for transport. All of the items are for Tangy's transport, and all items that are not used/disposable will stay with the carrier when it is returned to you upon delivery.Should the carrier become dirty/soiled and need to be cleaned prior to transport, please contact us for instructions.


    Day of Transport

    Tuesday, November 10th, 2026Please pull Tangy's food around 8 am and limit water intake. This will help him feel more comfortable (and clean) during the flight.Items To Bring For Transport
    - *Tangy
    - Original Rabies Certificates
    - Carrier
    - Sealed, Ziptop bag of dry food (quart size should be more than enough).
    - (Optional) Small favorite toy and/or (very) small blanket or piece of cloth, something that smells like home. Helps with stress.
    - (Optional) Small Ziptop bag of treats, clearly labeled with name.
    I will meet you at AGS at 12:00 pm EST
    Normally I have a meet-up map, but AGS is so tiny, I can't find a reliable map. It will be easy enough to find each other through text.
    Prior to pick-up, I will send a Life360 Code where you will be able to GPS track us for the trip Sometimes it doesn't work while we are in flight, for that, I have added a link to a flight tracking page below. I will also be sending text and picture updates along the way.
