We recently shared some important, timely information about international pet travel requirements from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We want to keep you updated on an upcoming change in the CDC rules for dogs entering the United States from ANY foreign country, including Canada. These new rules apply to dogs traveling into or returning to the U.S. by any mode of transportation—boat, car, train, plane, etc. The new regulations will go into effect on August 1, 2024.

Since sharing this information, the CDC has clarified and simplified the process for bringing dogs into the United States from rabies-free and low-risk dog rabies countries.

Details follow:
-Dogs entering or returning to the United States must have been only in dog rabies-free or low-risk countries in the past six months.
-Must complete the CDC Dog Import Form.
-Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival.
-Dogs must be at least six (6) months old at the time of entry or return to the U.S.
-Dogs must have a microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner to identify them.

For more information, please visit the CDC information page on the rules update.

We appreciate your patience as we learn about these new rules together. Our team is available to help ensure your pet’s vaccine and microchip requirements are up-to-date. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to call us at 206-248-3345. We will do our best to assist you and your pet!

IMPORTANT International Pet Travel Update

Our team wanted to alert you to an upcoming change in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rules for dogs coming into the United States from ANY foreign country, including Canada. This pertains to dogs traveling into the US or returning to the US by any source of transportation—boat, car, train, plane, etc. These new rules go into effect on August 1, 2024.

There are two levels of concern: one for pets from high-risk rabies countries and another for low-risk rabies countries such as Canada. Since Canada is considered a low-risk rabies country, when traveling back to the US from Canada, the pet will need a current ISO chip, a current rabies vaccine given after the ISO chip was placed, a copy of their endorsed rabies vaccine certificate form, and an owner-completed CDC dog import form.

In the link below you can use the DogBot below to determine what rules apply to your dog based on the dates of travel and where your dog is traveling from.
https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs.html

Please know that we do not yet know how quickly the USDA will be able to complete the Rabies vaccine certification documentation and therefore how far ahead of time we will need to complete these documents to successfully allow you to travel with your pet across the border, so please give us as much notice as possible. There is no way to RUSH a last-minute certificate for clients who do not plan ahead or forget to notify us of anticipated travel.

Please reach out to us if you have upcoming travel plans and questions about the new regulations!

Attention pet parents! With the Fourth of July fast approaching, it's time to start thinking about your pet's safety and well-being during the holiday. Loud fireworks and other festivities can be extremely stressful for pets, causing anxiety and even physical harm. We understand how important it is to keep your pet calm and comfortable during this time.

If you have any questions about calming medications, or if you'd like to schedule an appointment to discuss your pet's needs, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is here to help you and your pets have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

If your pet has not been seen by one of our doctors in the last year (365 days) you will need to schedule an exam BEFORE calming medications can be prescribed to your pet.

Does anyone have a kitty at home who likes to lend a paw with tasks on the computer?

It is bathtime this weekend?

As much as our pups love to play outside, they can get pretty dirty in the process - I know mine does! That's why it's important to give them a good bath every once in a while to keep them clean, healthy, and happy. Plus, who doesn't love a fresh-smelling pup?

Don't forget to share your bathtime photos with us!
