The United States under the CDC has placed additional regulations for dogs returning or entering the U.S. after August 1, 2024. Once the new rules go into effect, all travelers will need to apply for an import permit to return to the U.S. with their dogs, regardless of where they are
coming from.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
• Please note that BVC requires at least 30 DAYS notice for international travel, with 60 days being
ideal, depending on the destination country.
• Patients should have a 15 digit ISO microchip implanted and be current/up to date on a rabies vaccination in the past 11 months as a minimum
requirement for international travel.
• The fee for International Travel Documentation has been increased to $525.00. This incorporates all certificates, airline forms, USDA submissions, USDA
Rabies Certification, guidance on re-entry, and more.
