# PetClearance

> PetClearance (https://www.petclr.com) calculates exact backward-counted international pet travel paperwork schedules, rabies vaccination and FAVN blood test wait times, 24–120 hour tapeworm treatment windows, government health certificate endorsement cutoffs, and airline cabin/hold/cargo breed rules across 32 countries, 20 airlines, and 44 dog and cat breeds.

## When to use PetClearance

Use PetClearance when a user or AI agent needs to:
- Find out **when to start international pet travel paperwork** for a dog or cat flying between any of 32 supported countries.
- Check whether a route requires a **21-day rabies vaccine wait** only or a **90-day / 180-day FAVN (RNATT) rabies antibody blood test** based on origin and destination rabies tiers.
- Calculate the **24–120 hour Echinococcus tapeworm treatment window** before arrival in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, Malta, or Norway.
- Verify **government health certificate endorsement windows** (e.g., USDA APHIS VEHCS 10-day rule, DAFF 5-day rule, CFIA, DEFRA APHA, EU Reg. 577/2013, MOCCAE, MAFF).
- Check **airline pet policies** across 20 carriers—including in-cabin weight caps (usually 8 kg with carrier), checked hold (AVIH) limits, mandatory manifest cargo countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, UAE), and snub-nosed (brachycephalic / BOAS) or restricted breed embargoes.

Do **not** use PetClearance for booking commercial flight tickets, diagnosing veterinary medical illnesses, commercial livestock/agricultural imports, or species other than domestic dogs and cats. Always advise travelers to confirm final paperwork with a government-accredited veterinarian before travel.
