Hello! This blog might help http://www.bradleyfarless.com/exporting-cats-from-the-philippines-to-the-usa-via-delta-airlines/

 

I was originally planning on bringing my cat to the US. 

 

As far as I know, you need to get export papers from Bureau of Animal Industry.

Easy to do.   I have brought my dog to the Phils numerous times and so of course had to bring her back home again.  Screw Worm is the thing USDA watches out for, plus current vaccinations - rabies, distemper.    You will need a certificate from a veterinarian, take that to BAI (Bureau of Animal Industries) in Quezon City to get the necessary papers for travel.   If you travel through Japan they will want a copy of the rabies certificate .. so have extra copies.

 

If you ship the dog I am sure they require you give them copies of all the documents for the transport process, which would be close to the same as what I deal with.

Did you fly them on the plane as Service Animals? Or put them in cargo?

Whom did you fly?

 

My nephew and his wife just moved to Philippines and flew PAL.  They had to jump thru hoops to get there dogs to fly as service animals.

 

Wasn't too bad going from US to Philippines, but once they got to Manila and flying them to Davao as Service Animals they said it was hard and they tried (PAL Airlines) everything they could to not let the dogs fly as Service Animals on domestic in Philippines

 

Did you just fly from USA to Manila? Or did you catch a domestic flight and try to fly them as Service Animals?

I fly Delta, to keep things simple I avoid flights where the 2nd airline is foreign and the transfer is outside the USA.   And Delta is one of the few that fly from the USA to Manila and back again.

I have been flying Delta the last few years also, since they expanded and started doing regular trips to Manila.

 

They had pure hell getting the dogs from Manila to Davao City, one of the FA told him that is the first time they had ever seen a service animal on a PAL domestic flight
