Bringing pets to Vietnam is possible but requires documentation. During a visa run, you can leave your pet with a friend, hire a pet sitter, or take the animal along in a rented car.

If you need to do a visa run and can't leave your pet behind, renting a car and taking the animal with you is a viable option when other solutions don't work.

For a visa run, you can hire a pet sitter for the day if you have no one nearby. If traveling with a partner, you can alternate visa run days so one person always stays home with the pet.
