As pet owners we are responsible to protect out pets, just like parents it is our responsibility to protect our children.  For some people, their pets are their children.  So it is really important that they are vaccinated before transferring or moving to another country.   
A lot of countries require pets to be microchipped and that microchip has to be implanted on or before the rabies vaccination.  There is a 21 day waiting period after that rabies vaccination if it is the first one after the microchip is implanted.

Some countries don't require proof of annual vaccinations but if you are transferring from the United States you should already have most of the annual vaccinations, especially if you have had your furry pet since they were pups or kittens.  If asked for proof of those it should not be an issue and you should be able to get those records from your vet. 

There are countries that don't even require proof of a rabies but if you are going to return to the US you will need to have that to return.  So when you are considering that move or transfer,  you will need to take into consideration updating vaccinations and rabies and maybe having your animal microchipped.  There is also going to need to be an export exam and a health certificate indicating that your pet is fit to fly.
