Im moving to Japan for 4 years, will I be able to take my 2 dogs?

Question:

Answer:

The biggest hurdle will be where you will be living - most landlords don't allow pets.
You also need your vet papers in order, microchipping, and so on. If everything is ok you can get your dogs through Japanese quarantine relatively quickly (officially it can take up to 12 hours, but unless there is something wrong it almost never takes anywhere near that).
You also have to make sure your airline can do it, since space is limited. A typical charge is $175 per cage, and there is no pet in cabin now. The dogs will be with the bags, or you have to ship them by a separate cargo company. If you are in the military though the rules are far more lenient. See

for all the official info. If you have your ticket already, get started researching right away.
