Scout, the Furry Guardian golden retriever, standing with a sticker-covered suitcase
Hi, I’m Sarah

I moved my dog across three borders. Then I started writing it all down.

The first move nearly broke me: conflicting forums, out-of-date blog posts, a titer test I booked a month too late. My dog made it, but I promised myself the next person wouldn’t have to guess.

Furry Guardian is the resource I wish I’d had: country rules checked against the actual authorities, gear we’ve used on real trips, and two tools that answer the scariest questions in a minute.

01

Source authorities first

We monitor the destination authorities, not other blogs. The source is named on each guide where the data exists.

02

Dates you can check

When a rule changes, the country page is updated and re-stamped with the date you can see for yourself.

Rules verifiedJune 2026 · DEFRA, CDC, EU Commission
03

Health claims named

Anything health-related is checked by a licensed veterinarian before it goes live, and we name them where that review exists.
