Can I Bring Multiple Pets to Taiwan?

Yes — but every pet is its own paperwork case: one chip, one titer, one permit each. The crate-sharing rules, airline limits, and how to keep two timelines from drifting apart.

The short answer

Yes, you can move more than one pet to Taiwan — households arrive with two dogs, a dog and a cat, or a small menagerie all the time. The key thing to understand is that Taiwan treats every animal as its own separate case. There's no "family discount" on paperwork: each pet needs its own chip, its own vaccination record, its own titer, and its own line on the import permit. Two pets means two complete compliance calendars running in parallel.

What multiplies, and what doesn't

Per animal (multiplies)Often shared (once per shipment)
Microchip, rabies vaccine, FAVN titer, health certificate, crate, and airline live-animal fee The import permit application can list multiple pets; some agent, ground-transport and customs-clearance costs are per shipment, not per pet

So the paperwork and vet work scale roughly linearly, but a chunk of the service and logistics cost is shared — moving two pets together is cheaper than two separate moves. Budget with our cost breakdown, per pet.

Can they share a crate?

Usually no. IATA rules generally require one animal per crate for safety, with narrow exceptions for two small, compatible animals of similar size under a weight limit — and even then it's airline-dependent and often discouraged for a long flight. Assume separate, correctly sized crates and treat shared travel as a bonus if the airline allows it. Each crate still has to pass the same sizing and prep standards.

Keeping two timelines aligned

The real challenge isn't cost — it's synchronisation. If your two pets were chipped or vaccinated at different times, their titer windows and permit timing can drift apart, and you don't want to fly one now and one in six weeks. The fix is to align them from the start: chip and vaccinate together, draw blood together, book together. Our six-month timeline handles a single pet; for a multi-pet household, send us the whole family and we'll build one master calendar that lands everyone in Taipei on the same day.
