I don't know who can benefit from these posts, but I sure did.
I just flew my two cats from David to Nicaragua. There were many things to consider and arrange.
I went to Dra. Chely for help with their emigration paper work. Many people have used her services for this in the past.
She gave my cats boosters, filled out the paperwork on line and took the bus to David to deal with immigration services for me.
Everything was perfectly organized in a folder and envelope, with import papers and the vaccination records attached.
For the full service it cost me $140 for 2 cats. I never asked how much Panama charged for their stamps. To have 2 cats vaccinated and all the paperwork in order, without having to deal with anyone, was worth every cent.

I will post more info about other services that I used for my trip. I was amazing and easy.

I too will be using Dr. Chely for my cats move to Colombia. A wonderful Vet!
Yes she is. She knows what each country expects.
Immigration knew that I was on the plane with two cats and they were waiting for me after I cleared customs. There was also another official waiting in the office for me. I was not nervous because everything that she prepared for me was so professional. They actually looked inside the carriers and together compared the description of my cats that Chely put on the forms. I think that they were impressed.
I have heard of people having problems at customs in different countries from not being prepared. I was not willing to take the chance of having my cats detained for a mere $140.
Dra. Chely is great with this process. Thanks for the post. Sorry you're leaving, but best wishes for you in your new country.
