Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country and former Soviet republic, extends from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Altai Mountains at its eastern border with China and Russia. Kazakhstan is an adventure tourist’s dream. Almaty in the south is home to Central Asia’s premier mountain resort with skiing, snowboarding, and hiking all possible at different times of the year. For lovers of history and architecture, the cities provide a stunning glimpse of the past from the caravans of the Silk Road to more modern Soviet times.

Kazakhstan is also a pet-friendly nation to travel to with your pets. While travelling with pets, it is important to keep the following things in mind-

• The first step is to microchip your pet with a 15 digit ISO-compliant pet microchip.
• All pets must be vaccinated against rabies between 21 days and 12 months of entering the country.
• Dogs must be vaccinated against the following diseases: Distemper, Hepatitis, Viral Enteritis, Parvovirus and Adenovirus Infections and Leptospirosis. Cats must be vaccinated against panleukemia. Cats must also be inspected for dermatophytoses and samples processed at an approved laboratory if any lesions are found.
• A licensed veterinarian must complete the Veterinary Certificate for Kazakhstan prior to travel.
• All certificates (rabies and health) should have notarized translation into Kazakh or Russian languages. The translation could be notarized by the Consulate General.
• An import permit is not required when entering Kazakhstan with a personal pet.
• Pets must enter Kazakhstan at the Almaty International Airport.
• All pets must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the entry airport.
• Kazakhstan does not publish a list of banned breeds.
