Does anyone have experience with this? I reviewed the info on the CDC website and it seems that rabies is the only concern and if immigrating from a rabies free country it's not a concern at all. I just want to be sure I'm not missing something. It would be a nightmare if my fiance's dog was detained in customs. Has anyone gone through the process with a pet? Any experiences/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We travel with our dogs often and it is quite simple.

You will need an international health certificate - it is a standard form and most veterinarians have it - proving the dog is current with rabies vaccination (at least 30 days before travel) and you're good to go. Check with the airlines though for some pose embargoes on pets during some months of the year.

This is right. I moved my cat and dog to Florida from Canada. They never asked for their certificates, but you should have it just in case. They can quarantine your animals if you don't have their certificates and your dog must have its rabies shot at least 30 days before leaving. :thumbs:

it doesn't matter if you are from a rabies free country, if the US requires the vaccination the dog must have it. You need a health certificate from a Vet and proof that the dog has had his required vaccinations at least 30 days before travel.

That is the most irritating part of it. In order to take the dogs out of the US we need the health certificate as required by France, which nobody ever checks at the destination. Before we return we need to take the dogs again to a vet for the return certificate and guess what? CBP never checks them either. To be sure, the one time we try it without papers, will be the time they will ask for them.... :rofl:
