Formalities to bring your pet in Costa Rica

Hi all,

What are the formalities and paperwork required to bring your pet in Costa Rica?

How long do formalities & paperwork usually take in Costa Rica?

What are the relevant authorities to contact?

Which vaccines are compulsory? Do your pets have to go in quarantine at their arrival in Costa Rica?

Which advice would you give to the ones who would like to move with a dog, a cat or any other pet?

Thanks in advance for participating :)

My boyfriend and I are planning to move to Costa Rica with our large, 95 lbs dog.  We are flying with Continental airlines and have been given false information from the reps countless times.  We have contacted a broker and was quoted with a ridiculously high price.  Does anyone have any advice that would help us get our dog there? We would GREATLY appreciate it!
