Corrections

PattayaPets aims to be accurate, and pet businesses change — hours move, clinics relocate, services come and go. When we get something wrong, we correct it in plain sight.

Correction log

Newest first. Each entry names what was wrong and what the guidance says now.

• 8 September 2026 — European return documents and timing. Several guides said an EU passport could never cover a return from Thailand. The EU guide and affected country pages now distinguish a qualifying EU-resident owner’s short-trip return from entry after living in Thailand, which requires an animal health certificate. Norway and Switzerland have separately sourced passport conditions. Germany and Italy return guidance now measures the standard new-titer wait as 90 days before certificate issue. We also corrected the owner’s five-day travel condition, Finland’s cargo classification and Ireland’s transit wording.
• 8 September 2026 — Danish and French export certification. The Denmark and France guides used a generic EU export-certificate description. They now explain the Danish certificate lookup and official appointment process, and French DDPP certification, with the destination’s exact certificate requirements to establish before the final appointment.
• 8 September 2026 — Finnish and Irish export certification. The import guides described a generic EU export certificate for Thailand. The Finland guide now explains municipal or city veterinary certification; the Ireland guide explains Regional Veterinary Office coordination. Each uses the destination’s required conditions, rather than assuming one EU-wide export document.
• 8 September 2026 — Great Britain export examination window. The UK-to-Thailand guide placed the export examination in a final 7–10-day stage. The linked EHC 2917 specimen requires examination no more than 72 hours before proposed export. The UK guide now states that window and explains conflicts between the certificate guidance and Thai permit requirements.
• 8 September 2026 — research model clarified. Earlier directory labels and policies implied that on-site reviews were planned. They are not part of our publishing model. We have removed those promises and now describe the directory consistently as research from public sources, with no personal-experience ratings. This change does not renew business source-check dates.
• 5 August 2026 — authorship and creator claims narrowed to evidence. Project ownership and publication operations had been projected as personal authorship across the site. Those blanket bylines, author links and creator fields were removed. Personal attribution is now emitted only from a versioned, route-specific responsibility record. The current ledger contains no approved route author or project creator.
• 1 August 2026 — Thailand import identity, sequence and timing. We removed universal ISO-only, chip-before-rabies, automatic-revaccination, rabies-only and arrival-wait claims. The current guidance requires the microchip number to match an implantation certificate and vaccination records; after all primary vaccines, it states a 21-day wait before the permit application, with a documented-booster exception, and 5–7 Thailand business days after a complete application. This source is scoped to USA-origin dogs, cats and rabbits; other origins and species still need route-specific confirmation. Thai consular instructions, updated 2 February 2026 and checked 1 August 2026.
• 1 August 2026 — Thailand export sequence. We removed a universal email intake, 15-day deadline, three-day flight-confirmation rule and optional-exam wording. The current Region 9 sequence says to file R1/1 as the responsible animal quarantine station directs, present the animal for the mandatory health examination no more than 2–3 days before travel, then receive R9 and the health certificate. Intake and lead time remain station-specific. DLD Region 9 export sequence, published 17 October 2025 and checked 1 August 2026 (Thai; no certified translation).
• 1 August 2026 — Australia route from Thailand. We removed guidance that allowed preparation and titre testing in Thailand before the residency period. Australia’s current route requires first moving to an approved Group 1, 2 or 3 country, at least 180 consecutive days there immediately before export, and the required vaccination and testing in that approved country. Returning-animal exceptions need an individual DAFF assessment. Australian Department of Agriculture FAQ, checked 1 August 2026.
• 1 August 2026 — South Korea threshold conflict and titre window. We replaced a single ‘over ten’ rule. Korea’s AIP says more than ten animals, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says ten or more, and the ministry source states a 24-month titre limit. The AIP also describes exemptions for animals under 90 days and those from rabies-free countries. Groups at the exact threshold must obtain written APQA direction. Sources checked 1 August 2026: Korea AIP and Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
• 1 August 2026 — Malaysia scope and non-scheduled-country controls. We removed cabin-possibility, four-to-eight-week and vague quarantine claims. The reviewed DVS material covers cargo consignments and, for non-scheduled countries, states a permit, ISO microchip, government health certificate and examination within seven days, plus quarantine for at least seven days and up to six months case by case. An accompanied cabin or checked-baggage path remains unverified. Sources checked 1 August 2026: DVS FAQ and DVS non-scheduled-country controls (Malay FAQ; no certified translation).
• 1 August 2026 — U-Tapao status narrowed to an evidence gap. Earlier wording treated absence from reviewed lists as proof that clearance was impossible. The DLD 59-station map and a USA-scoped six-airport instruction do not list U-Tapao, but that absence does not prove impossibility. Current guidance requires written DLD confirmation for the exact route. Sources checked 1 August 2026: DLD station map and USA-scoped airport instructions.
• 1 August 2026 — IATA container guidance. We replaced Edition 50/51 references, a generic snub-nosed rule and ‘IATA-approved’ brand wording. The guide now cites CR1 Edition 52, including the 10% larger-container instruction for snub-nosed animals and the applicable construction and fit rules; the airline and check-in team make the final acceptance decision, and IATA does not approve container brands. IATA CR1 extract, checked 1 August 2026.
• 1 August 2026 — emergency treatment algorithms removed. Generic heat, airway, CPR, stretcher, snake, toad and jellyfish treatment instructions were removed. Emergency pages now start with calling a live clinic, following its instructions and travelling as directed. Only the condition-specific RVC canine heatstroke source supports the displayed cool-first wording. Every page discloses that no licensed veterinarian has reviewed it. Royal Veterinary College source, published 20 July 2023 and checked 1 August 2026.
• 1 August 2026 — costs and outcomes. Unsourced market totals, broad price ranges, same-day promises and agent-success claims were removed. The only Thai arrival amount retained is the authority’s 500-baht import-licence fee per animal for the source’s USA-origin dog, cat and rabbit scope; named carrier examples cite their own current pages. All other costs require itemised written quotes, and no provider outcome is promised.
• 1 August 2026 — regulated-claim provenance. Generic source blocks and uncited regulated prose were replaced with claim IDs, direct primary-source links, short source excerpts, review dates, reviewer status and recheck deadlines. The claim ledger’s consumer paths are explicitly examples, not a statement of complete coverage, and automated checks do not replace legal, clinical, translation or jurisdiction-specialist review.
• 29 July 2026 — Mor Ja Pet Clinic removed from recommendations. The clinic was suggested on area and mobile-vet pages, but no phone number, website or opening hours could be confirmed from a primary source. Its retained decision record says plainly that no contact route is confirmed. It returns to recommendations only when one is verified.
• 29 July 2026 — footer wording corrected site-wide. Every page said this guide was “checked in person by people who live here”. No completed anonymous-visit records were published, so the visit claim was removed. The replacement wording named project principals as site-wide authors and editors; that separate attribution issue was corrected on 5 August 2026. How our research works is on editorial standards.
• 28 July 2026 — EU pet travel regulation citation. Export guides cited EU Regulation 576/2013. That framework has been replaced by Regulation (EU) 2026/131, which applies from 22 April 2026. Affects the Finland and Ireland export guides.
