Shipping my dog from ATL, USA to CPT

Hi All! I'm in the process of shipping my dog to SA. I've decided to coordinate directly with the airlines, but I'm very concerned about the strict testing required and that I won't have all of my i's dotted and t's crossed. For that reason, I'm wondering if anyone has shipped a dog to SA without using a company to coordinate.

His crate meets shipping criteria, i.e., 3 sided ventilation and metal hardware, etc. He's ISO microchipped. He's UTD on vaccinations, etc. He'll have 6mos. of heartworm meds with him. I know the 5 tests required (4 really, since one isn't present in the states)... and I know the tests must be USDA stamped. Is there anything else I should be aware of? And how do I go about getting his SA Import Permit?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hello, I just came across your inquiry. I don't have an answer about your pet but I am also planning a move to CPT later this year from ATL. I'm just curious as to why you are moving there? Have you settled on a particular area? I'll be moving to the Green Point area. Looking forward to your response. Perhaps we can keep in touch while living abroad?
