Animal Travel Outside the Contiguous U.S.
Travel with animals outside the contiguous U.S. is governed by strict regulations, so it’s best to prepare well in advance of your trip. Carefully review the following:
- Contact the embassy or consulate of your destination country for their animal travel regulations
- Obtain all necessary vaccines and paperwork, such as health certificates or vaccination records
- Check for any regulations or advisories from the CDC or the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) about animal imports or exports
- The CDC has specific documentation requirements that apply to all dogs, including trained service animals, that are traveling to the United States.
- Dogs must appear healthy, be microchipped, and be at least 6 months of age
- All dogs must be accompanied by a receipt of a complete CDC Dog Import Form.
- Additional documentation may be required depending on where the dog’s rabies vaccination was administered and if, within the past 6 months, the dog has been in a high-risk country for rabies or a low-risk or rabies-free country.
- Detailed information and required forms can be found on the CDC’s Bringing a Dog into the U.S. page
- Dogs arriving from screwworm-affected countries must have a certificate stating that the pet has been inspected for screwworm within 5 days before arrival (view certificate requirements), and:
- The pet is either free from screwworm; or
- The pet was infested with screwworm, held in quarantine, and treated until free from screwworm before departure.
- The list of countries can be found at: Dog Imports: Check Country Disease Status
- Know that additional charges may apply, such as veterinary bills, customs clearance fees, quarantine costs and more
Exceptions may apply for customers traveling with trained service animals or those in the U.S. Military or U.S. State Department Foreign Service Offices.
