For India and other countries, contact large local animal welfare organizations or local veterinarians, as they would have information about what you will need to depart the country with your animal. In India, this may be the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) at www.awbi.org or the Blue Cross of India at www.bluecross.org.in. For other countries, you may visit:

Things to remember when bringing your animal(s) to the US from abroad:
-Make sure the animal has been assessed by a qualified veterinarian. If the animal is old enough, it should be vaccinated and sterilized. The US requires a rabies vaccination for animals of an appropriate age (usually over 16 weeks for puppies and kittens). All animals should come with a health certificate that says it was seen and/or treated by a vet, is free of parasites, is not aggressive, etc. With the exception of Hawaii - which requires a quarantine - the US is relatively easy to get in to with a healthy, friendly companion animal.
-Most airlines will not allow animals under 12 weeks old to fly; some require the animal to be 16 weeks.
-Be sure to check with regulations in layover countries. Plan ahead if you will be overnighting and make sure your hotels will allow pets.
-Make sure the animal has gone to the bathroom before any travel, and provide them with a detachable water dish or bottle (I have used ice cubes, so during the trip to the airport the water doesn't splash around). Tape a small bag of their dry food to the side of the kennel, just in case. It's probably best that the animal NOT eat directly before travel.
-Be sure to mark any kennels with "Live Animal" in all applicable languages on your travels. Most airlines can do this upon check in, but you should always make sure it's there. Also, tape an envelope to the kennel with your contact information and emergency contact info of someone in both your origin and destination countries and profiles and a photo of your animal, and keep copies with you.
-Ask your vet about sedatives. Sometimes, it is not necessary and a lot of vets do not recommend them since the animals cannot be monitored in flight. I suggest using an herbal/homeopathic sedative, such as Rescue Remedy. Be sure you familiarize yourself with dosage instructions and always ask your vet questions.
-Put one of your shirts or a blanket (something with your scent) in the kennel with your animal. This will provide them with a little familiarity and a comfortable bed.
-Make sure the kennel is large enough for them to stand up and turn around in. Use lots of shredded newspaper on the bottom to absorb any elimination.
-Ask questions. Most airlines are good about taking care of animals, but you should always be alert on where your animals are. Ask the flight attendants upon boarding if your animals were loaded OK. Note what time your flight leaves, i.e. if it is hot out, you should consider a night departure. Some airlines will not allow any animals in the cabin, so be prepared for your animal to go cargo.
Happy Travels!
