Planning a move to Peru with your dog? Here's what I wish someone had told me: the entry requirements aren't hard, but they're time-sensitive, and the order you do them in matters. Miss one window and the whole timeline slips. Cooper has done long-haul relocations three times now, and the pattern is always the same — start early, work backward from your flight date, and nothing sneaks up on you.
Bringing a pet to Peru requires three documents in the right order: a microchip, a rabies vaccine within the destination's wait window, and a government-endorsed health certificate. The table below lays out exactly what's required, what's not, and where each rule comes from.
