Does my dog need to be neutered to travel from the US to Canada?

I would recommend looking into the requirements for your dog to travel to this island. Most islands are rabies free and you will need a rabies titer which can take 6 plus weeks to get back. this titer has to be sent to a very specific lab and also you will need a international health certificate writen by a usda vet. It might not be worth the stress and expense of travel to take him with you for a vacation

They don't need a passport. Contact the airline you are using for their requirements. They either need nothing or a health certificate from your vet saying they are healthy that will allow them to fly. The cost to travel depends on the airline. ( https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/before-you-book/how-to-book-your-pet-onto-a-flight.html ) I strongly recommend you get them rabies vaccinated 30 days prior to travel. Heartworm, flea and tick prevention are recommended for the time period you will be there. Talk to your vet about getting the vaccine done and getting some heartworm, flea/tick prevention products. This are not required to fly but are recommended to protect your pets in the new environment.

It sounds like this would take some pretty intensive training and it might not be safe or realistic for him to fly this way. You could try asking your veterinarian if they know a trainer near you who could work on stranger aggression issues. It might also be helpful to train Danny to wear a basket muzzle for added safety - dogs can drink with this type of muzzle on but might have difficulty eating. If you need to travel soon you may need to contact the airline and see if there are other safe ways to have Danny handled during transport.

It sounds like your vet is recommending having Victor neutered. When combined with training, this procedure can help reduce unwanted behaviours such as humping.

The cost of a neuter is dependent on your location - if there is a full service veterinary hospital in your local Petco you could call for an estimate. Vetco vaccine clinics do not provide this service. Influenza is recommended for dogs who are boarded, groomed or frequently around other dogs. Your therapist would be a better resource regarding registering Benji as an ESA - this designation does not involve veterinarians. I would be very cautious - Benji is quite young and it is probably too early to tell if his temperament would be ideal for an emotional support animal.

As long as Woody doesn't have any complications, I wouldn't have any concerns about you being gone a week later. Most post-surgical complications occur around the 3-5 days mark. If you have any trouble keeping him quiet (not running around, jumping, etc), your veterinarian can prescribe him a sedative to help the dog sitter keep him safe. So the short answer is, this will be fine in 95% of circumstances. Perhaps schedule a recheck appointment a day before you leave so the vet can look at his incisions and give you instructions for the dog sitter. Have a great trip!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. There are certain health benefits for neutering dogs. Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate) and certain testicular tumors can be prevented by neutering dogs. However, dogs can also live happy and normal lives intact. Behavioral problems such as territorial aggression and marking may be reduced by neutering dogs as well. Once neutered, Dante will not behave more like a female, this is a misconception and does not happen. He may become more calm and not as hyper or aggressive once he is neutered and this is due to the reduction in circulating hormones following removal of the testicles. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
