I brought my cat from the United States to Australia (a notoriously strict country). If you'd like any advice let me know.

sure, if you can name the vector I would love it. we just moving italy to spain, so it's not a long trip, but I won't immediately have a car to do it.

I'd say the risk of something happening to your pet is far too high to justify such a short flight.

I'd suggest borrowing a car from a friend or renting one for a couple of days; and have one of you stay with the pet in the new place while the other drives the car back.

You can just pay a bit extra and bring your pet in an extra seat in the cabin. I've been doing this for years. Many times I'll often be given 3 seats if there's an empty row, just to make it more comfortable for me and my cat.

you can take the ferry from italy to spain, takes around 24h and the pet can be free in your cabin and they have a special deck for you to walk it around

I didn't consider travel by boat but it does seem the most convenient way for the pet, it also seems somewhat economical compared to the rest. thanks! I'll give it serious thought.
