Yah, today we got our NOC certificates early, this is what they look like:

This is the No Objection Certificate for our Dogs

This is the No Ojection Certificate for our Cat

It says on it we must produce our documents upon arrive, so that is easy.

Our story is that we are trying to leave Miami late next week for Kolkata with 2 dogs and a cat. We have traveled with to 7 countries so far with our animals, so we aren’t new to this. And so far have had no bad experiences with the effects of traveling on our animals …even with the odd disaster along the way with screwed up arrangements…and dogs not loaded onto planes even!

Well we have to take to take our children wherever we go, sure they are dogs and a cat but they are our children, so how do we go about this?

We have previously moved animals overseas with us, from Australia to Malaysia, Malaysia to Reunion, Reunion to Mauritius, Mauritius to South Africa, South Africa to USA and now USA to India… and at the end of the contract back to the USA. So we aren’t new to this international pet moving!

We start searching for information, there isn’t much as far as government website info we can find about taking your pets to India, but we do stumble across this board called India Mike . This site is great, but has some old information on it, and some people who are very very negative about travelling with animals!
