I would think overseas could be a real problem. Is this vacation or a move?

Temporary move

How long is temporary?
depending on the country there could be as much as a 90 DAY QUARANTINE.
Yes, your dogs will live in a kennel for 3 months.

My friends moved to DR. after few months there, they were finally able to bring their two dogs with them. Somehow they came back, drove with the dogs to Canada, then caught a flight to the DR. They said it was a living hell experience.

I moved to Germany with a dog (flew in the cabin). It was a pain in the butt to get the appropriate certifications in Louisiana, but flying was easy. No quarantine, no one even checked the papers at the airport. Once we got settled in Germany we registered our dog at the vet in about 30 minutes. No problems.

I've never flown my dog, and I know the airlines all say it is safe, but I am never putting my dog in cargo.

We did a large export of pigs to the Philippines and had to work with USDA in Chicago. The Vet that oversees the exports and ALL animal movements through their airport (cargo) said anyone who ships their dogs in Cargo is an idiot. There are extremes I. Temperature, the handles don’t care for the pets and it stresses the hell out of the dog. She’d dealt with many issues leading to mortality.
If you like your dog, don’t go cargo.
On a temporary trip it would be best to find someone here to house your dogs. Depending on where you go, the transport, paperwork and possible quarantine are not worth the return.

I lived overseas for 18 years and took a dog for the first 7. I flew her to three different countries...the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, and Mauritania. She finally died while I was living in Mauritania. This was 1987-1994. I can tell you my experiences, but policies may have changed somewhat.
It can be stressful, but I never had any significant issues.
1. Have all your paperwork in order. Contact the airline as well as the embassy of the country you are visiting.
2. My dog traveled in the cargo hold in her kennel. There were no problems. However, be advised that many airlines will not take a dog if the temperature will be above 85. This was especially a concern flying through Miami to the DR and Bolivia in August. But we had no issues.
3. Call ahead with the airline, learn all the policies, and make sure they know you are carrying a dog.
4. This was all pre-9/11. At our stopover at CDG in Paris, we were able to go down to the area where she was being held and walk her. In Miami, I collected her after the domestic leg and had her in the terminal with me before checking in for the international flights.
5. You can get a sedative from your vet.
6. As was mentioned about quarantines, be aware of your itinerary and any laws about traveling in transit. On the Mauritania trip, my flight from Atlanta was going to be delayed, making me miss my connection at JFK. When rescheduling, I had to make sure they didn't send be through London.
7. I never had a problem getting the dog into the country when I arrived, because I had all the appropriate paperwork for that country.
It may be a hassle, but it can be done. Do NOT pay $1,000-$2,000 to some expediter or agent to ship the dog for you.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.
