In-Cabin Approved on Delta Air Lines (<= 9 kg Limit). At 7.5 kg (including soft carrier), your Pug qualifies for Delta Air Lines passenger cabin travel in a ventilated carrier up to 45 x 28 x 28 cm. Reserve cabin pet quota at least 14 days ahead.
How many days in advance do I need to prepare my Pug to enter Chile from UAE?
Entering Republic of Chile from United Arab Emirates (Step-Free/Rabies-Free) requires a strict biological minimum of 31 days and a recommended 45-day pre-clearance lead window via SAG (Servicio Agrícola y Ganadero).
Does Chile require a Rabies Titer Test (FAVN) or 24–120h Tapeworm treatment from UAE?
No — because UAE is classified as Step-Free/Rabies-Free, direct travel to Chile is exempt from the 90/180-day blood titer wait, requiring a 30-day post-microchip rabies immunity wait. Additionally, dogs must receive Praziquantel tapeworm treatment strictly 24 to 720 hours before landing.
When must MOCCAE Veterinary Quarantine endorse the health certificate for Chile?
Your accredited veterinarian must issue "Certificado Zoosanitario de Exportación SAG" and obtain official government endorsement from MOCCAE Veterinary Quarantine within 10 days prior to departure.
