As of last year USDA endorsement is not required for a dog entry into Belize, just the Veterinary health certification signed by your vet. This certificates does state something about the USDA on it and is just not stamped and endorsed by USDA specifically for your pet. When are you flying? I hope in the fall, it is too hot to travel with a pet and above airlne allowed temperatures for flying with a dog. Happy travels.
Thanks for the info re. the USDA section of the int'l vet certificate form. It would be extra hassle to get this done (it's not like there is a USDA vet in every city/town) before we leave the country, so we are glad to hear that it is no longer required.
We are traveling August 27, but our dog is small and will be in the cabin with us -- not in cargo. There are no restrictions against traveling with a pet in the cabin in the summer (in fact, we FROZE on our flight down in early July!) The airline we are flying (US Airways) doesn't accept pets in cargo any time, regardless of breed or season.
