Each country is different in its requirements for pet travel. Pet passports are good for travel in the European Union. Call the consulate of the country you are traveling to WELL IN ADVANCE to get a list of requirements. Take the list to your vet to work out a timeline and get started. Some destinations (for sure Australia, New Zealand, England, and Hawaii) require a rabies test called an OIE-FAVN. There are very few labs that can run this test, and it takes a month at least to get the results back. Then, some destinations require a "quarrantine" which means that your pet can't travel to that place until a certain amount of time has elapsed after the blood test sample was drawn. (For England, you have to wait 6 months past when the blood sample was drawn before the pet can arrive there.) A special microchip implant may be needed. Certainly, the health certificate and proof of rabies vaccine, and some places also require a special dewormer and a tick product be applied within 24 hours of the flight. It is very important to plan this out months in advance. The vet, the consulate, and the airline must all be on the same page for this or you will have confusion. Good luck!

Go to a veterinarian. They will give you all the necessary papers. Check with the country you are going to for quarantine procedures. Some places, like Hawaii, require 3 months and I think it's something like a month for European countries and even longer in Japan.
Your veterinarian may be able to find out for you, but you MUST PLAN AHEAD. Like months ahead, I'm not kidding!!
Also, there are time limits on everything when you are transporting animals, everytime you get new information ask if there is a time restriction.

There aren't passports for dogs. Go to your vet, though. The dog must be up-to-date on all vaccinations, including the Bordetella / Intratrac (Kennel Cough) and then they will type up a Certificate of Health for the animal. Your vet would then date and sign it, and you should be good to go.

Wel, dogs don't have passports because thier an animal and you can not leave your dog because the police will take it away. Even ask a vet he/she will explain for you.

You have to carry your dog to the vet and then they will give you a certificate of health so that your dog will be able to board the plane. Ask your vet about it, he/she will explain it to you.

The only thing I know about is you have to have a health check from your doctor to make sure he able to fly and that he/she has a clean bill of health.
