Hi.
To be honest, I'm not sure that I would take my dog for just one
month. Air travel can be stressful for animals. It would depend how
long the flight was and how many connections. Also, it would depend
on the character of your puppy. Are you intending to put the animal
in cargo? i.e, is he bigger than 20 lbs or so?
On the paperwork side, you need for sure a certificate of health
from your vet which would include whether or not your puppy has a
rabies vaccination. This is for the airline and for the entry. I
would get two copies for sure. I got one of mine notarized but I'm
not sure this is a requirement for the airlines. When I got here,
despite having sent my certificate to the honduran embassy in Ottawa
for "authentication" at 85 dollars US, I still had to have a vet
meet me at the airport to do more paperwork (certificate of
importation). This cost me 50 dollars. It was surprisingly quick and
if you make the arrangements beforehand for the vet to meet the
flight, your dog will pass customs quickly. I would not bother with
getting the certificate authenticated in Ottawa as that seemed to be
a HUGE waste of money and I intend to request my money back. If you
are travelling via the states, be prepared to go through a few hoops
there with customs if you are overnighting and want your dog out of
hock. If you can do it in one day that's better and the airline will
just move your dog from one flight to another and they will take
care of the paperwork. Oh, and if you are arriving in Tegucigalpa
you need to arrive during the daytime as that's when the customs
people can deal with your dog.
Finally, if using continental, they are not transporting animals
from November 15th to sometime in January. You may have to try
another airline and they may or may not so call ahead.
I cannot speak to bringing the dog back into Canada but I suspect it
might just require the certificate of health and rabies shot. You
should call the CRA.
Let me know if you have other questions.
