Total the cost of travelling with a pet including documentation and transport.
Quarantine dominates cost where it applies, easily exceeding every other component combined. Health certificates are typically valid only for days before departure, which constrains scheduling as much as cost. Requirements are destination-specific and change, so confirming them early matters more than the cost estimate, since some treatments have mandatory waiting periods measured in months.
