What is needed to travel with small dog?

I'm not sure about documents to enter the DR but if you are travelling from canada you can use westjet,dog in a carryon size cage that fits under the seat is no charge

To enter the DR with an animal you need the following papers: Certificate of International Health in 3 languages, a Certificate of vaccination (including rabies) not older than 10 days prior to arrival here.

Sorry Rogerjac but WestJet charges $ 50.00 per animal to travel either on board or in the cargo.

a friend of mine travelled last october and was charged nothing. did they change their policy or did this one fly under the radar....your guess is as good as mine

You need to take your dog to a vet in the states. There you can get an International Travel document. It does not need to be in 3 languages. English is acceptable. You will need to be up on all the vacinations for your dog. When you make reservations to fly you need to make a reservation for the dog. Most US airlines will charge anywhere from $100-$150 for the dog. Make sure you have a soft side dog carrier. The dog carrier will be at your feet partially under the seat in front of you. When you get to the DR and go through customs someone will contact you and look at your paperwork and you will need to pay about 10usd to bring in the dog. That is it. I have done it many times. When you come back to the airport you need to find the office to check in the dog with the DR authorities before you go to your airline check in. If you are flying into Santiago I am not sure where at the airport it is located. At Las Americas it is a small office to the left side of the main entrance area.
Again, make sure your vet certificate is dated no longer than 10 days prior to your departure. When you return from the DR you will need to get the same certificate from a vet in the DR. The whole proceedure is not cheap. Between the ticket and the vets it will cost you around $200usd. Good luck.

Derfish:

I believe the International Travel Document for your pet has the language in the text in a few languages. This is a pretty standard document. There is nothing that you have to do re: language requirements. Your vet fills out the paperwork in the country of your origin.
