AFRAID TO TRAVEL WITH PETS?
It’s true, if you plan to travel with pets you have your work cut out for you. However, I did some research to try to help things go more smoothly for you.

DOCUMENTS FOR PETS ENTERING BOLIVIA
To bring your pet to Bolivia, you must take her to your veterinarian who must do a full check up and completely update her vaccinations to ensure she is not missing any. Your vet will then write a letter (at the top of it put a title that says CERTIFICADO ZOO-SANITARIO or CERTIFICADO DE SANIDAD - or SANITARY CERTIFICATE). The vet must detail that the pet is in good health and should specifically list that she has no contagious diseases, no rabies, and that her shots are all up to date; should state that the vet considers her healthy enough to travel without endangering or weakening her health; should include her full name, breed, exact age inasmuch as you know it; should also list the pet owner's full name and passport number; and finally, should be translated to Spanish and notarized, both the English and Spanish copies. Your pet will only be placed in QUARANTINE if she arrives appearing or seeming ill in any way. Since pets can become sick on flights just like humans, if you think your pet may be especially sensitive to flying and may throw up or something, ask your vet what you can do to calm her before she flies. Once you get off the plane upon arriving in Bolivia, you will get your own luggage, then will go ask to see and recover your pet. At this time you must have her papers in your hand to present along with your ID to show you are her owner. No further payments or documents will be required of you to claim your pet. This information was provided by AEROSUR, Bolivia's current top airline.
