From planning to arrival
Build the U.S. entry plan before selecting the flight
The dog or cat, recent travel history and arrival airport determine which checks belong in the plan.
2
Entry pathway
For dogs, we identify the relevant CDC pathway and the documents that must be available before boarding.
3
Airline assessment
Cabin, accompanied hold or another acceptable arrangement is checked against the animal and route.
4
Departure readiness
Veterinary records, carrier, booking details and traveller information are checked for consistency.
5
U.S. handover
Arrival, customs interaction and final handover are planned around the chosen port of entry.
Accompanied travel, when feasible
A person travels with the pet—not a cargo-only promise
Where feasible, a UniPetrans professional can travel on the same itinerary and manage the animal-related stages from departure to handover.
Acceptance is never assumed. Pet size, carrier, airline policy, aircraft, connections and U.S. entry conditions are reviewed before the service is confirmed.
Route-specific preparation
Preparing for Spain → USA
For dogs, the CDC process starts with recent travel history, identification and age. The route file should cover:
- CDC Dog Import Form receipt for each dog
- Microchip readable by a universal scanner
- Dog at least six months old at U.S. entry
- Health and vaccination records matched to the animal
- Airline and carrier acceptance confirmed
- Arrival airport and onward handover planned
Dogs that have visited a high-risk country during the previous six months can face additional requirements even when departing from Spain. Cats follow a different federal pathway, and state or airline rules may still apply. Requirements must be reconfirmed for the actual animal and itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
Spain → USA Pet Travel
What does a dog need to enter the United States from Spain?
Every dog entering the United States needs a CDC Dog Import Form receipt. Dogs must appear healthy, be at least six months old and have a microchip. Extra requirements depend on the countries visited during the previous six months and where the rabies vaccination was issued.
Do cats have the same CDC form requirement?
The CDC Dog Import Form applies to dogs. Cat entry requirements differ and state, airline and destination conditions still need to be checked for the actual itinerary.
Can UniPetrans accompany my pet from Spain to the United States?
Potentially. Accompaniment depends on the animal, airline acceptance, routing and the entry conditions that apply to the journey.
Does a connection change the requirements?
It can. The CDC assesses where a dog has been during the six months before arrival, and some transit choices can change the applicable process.
Can the flight be booked before the documents are ready?
A provisional itinerary can be explored, but travel should not be confirmed until the documentary timeline and airline acceptance are compatible with the planned date.
How much does pet transport from Spain to the United States cost?
Pricing depends on origin, U.S. destination, animal, carrier, routing and the level of accompaniment required. UniPetrans prepares an individual quotation after assessment.
