Thinking about moving to Panama but not sure how to bring your dog? In this episode of The Panama Podcast: From Dreaming to Doing, real expats share exactly what it takes to move to Panama with pets—based on their firsthand experiences.

You’ll hear from expats who have successfully navigated the process in very different ways: bringing multiple small dogs one at a time, using a private pet flight service like Perro Air, and traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Panama with a dog multiple times each year. We cover the full process of bringing dogs to Panama, including paperwork, airline options, in-cabin vs. cargo decisions, costs, and what actually happens when you land at the airport.

If you’re researching how to move to Panama with pets, this episode will give you practical, real-world insights that go far beyond generic checklists. You’ll learn what to expect, what to avoid, and how to make the transition as smooth as possible for both you and your dog.

This is part of our Real Expats series, where you hear directly from people who are living the experience—not just talking about it.

If you’re considering relocating, retiring, or investing in Panama and want honest, experience-based guidance, this episode is for you.
