Taking your DOG to the U.S.
Are you thinking about taking your dog to the U.S.?
As of August 1, 2024, all pet dogs travelling from Canada to the U.S. will need to meet certain criteria to be allowed in. Check out this link Dogs travelling to the U.S. to make sure your pet dog fits all the requirements BEFORE you plan your trip.
You must also fill out and submit a CDC dog import form to bring your pet into the U.S. For now, once filled out and accepted, it is valid for 6 months. Help filling out the form can be found here: Instructions on how to complete the CDC Dog Import Form.
Check back regularly as these requirements may change, and if in doubt, it is best to check the CDC website or call 1 (800) 232-4636 and ask them directly.
There are currently no similar requirements for Cats, as they do not carry the dog-maintained rabies virus variant (DMRVV) that these measures were created to prevent the spread of.
