Hi Everyone,
I will be traveling from Turkey to Uruguay later this year with 2 Mexican Chihuahuas.
Searching around the internet and even with the Uruguayan Consulate in Washington D.C.
I keep finding conflicting scenarios about the requirements for bringing pets into the country.
I found on one website that pets require a USDA APHIS 7001 international health certificate.
I am coming from Turkey, not the USA. Why do I need US documents? My veterinarian in
Turkey is not on the list of approved USDA vets, which is only for US vets, so he's not certified
to complete the APHIS 7001 form. My dogs are in Turkey, a USDA certified US vet can't examine
them to complete the APHIS forms either.
Can't I use the official animal import documents from the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture with my
vet here completing them? Must I use the USDA APHIS International Animal Import form 7001?
İf so, how???
Thanks for any help/insight you can give.
Regards,
D, Conti
