What is the summer pet shipment embargo?
The summer pet shipment embargo is from 15 May to 15 Sep. The exception to this embargo is given to Military or Government personnel with return orders who are traveling with pets from a foreign country to the United States for duty. In this case there is a temperature guideline for pet acceptance. Pets cannot be accepted when the current or forecasted temperature is above 85 degrees Fahrenheit/ 29 degree Celsius at any location on the itinerary. Snub-nosed dogs and cats will not be accepted when the temperature exceeds 70 degrees Fahrenheit/ 21 degree Celsius.
