Hello Friends,
Are you planning on travelling into or through Canada with your dog any time after 8/1/24?

Please be advised that the CDC has recently changed the requirements for ALL dogs entering the United States, including dogs that are originally from the United States but have left the country for any reason. These changes will take effect on August 1, 2024. The following links will provide more information on the requirements that must be met in order for your pet to travel into and through Canada.

For more information, please see the CDC’s website:
https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs.html

Or, go to our website using the link below:
https://www.auroraanimal.com/services/health-certificates/

Important Points:
1. This does not apply to cats driving into or through Canada, or dogs and cats flying into or out of Canada.
2. Your dog must have a 15 digit ISO microchip placed PRIOR to receiving a Rabies Vaccine. Any Rabies vaccine administered prior to the microchip placement will be considered invalid.
3. There is a minimum 28 day waiting period after the valid vaccination ( or booster ) was administered and when the dog will be allowed re-entry into the United States.
4. Dogs under 6 months of age will be denied re-entry regardless of vaccination or microchip status. ( Meaning puppies under 6 months old will have no choice but to fly )
5. Service Dogs are NOT exempt from this requirement.

If you have additional questions about whether your dog(s) will comply with these new rules, as well as which paperwork, permits, etc need to be done, please contact us via email at [email protected] and give us your planned travel dates as well as destination.

Please keep in mind that we did not make these rules, the CDC did. We’re just trying to do our part to help you and your pets be prepared to travel safely and avoid getting denied re-entry into the United States.

With Warm Regards,
Your Aurora Animal Hospital Team

Health Certificates - You can get there from here, but you have to cross the border or get on an airplane to do it and if your furry friend is going along you will most likely

Parking Lot Construction Notice | May 15-18

We want to inform you about a construction project in our parking lot that may affect your visit to our clinic.

Beginning today, May 15th through May 18th we will be undergoing renovations in our parking lot to improve our facilities and enhance your overall experience with us. While these improvements are underway, we want to assure you that our clinic will remain open for business as usual, and you are still welcome to park in our parking lot.

However, we kindly ask for your cooperation during this time. Construction workers will be present, so we advise exercising caution while maneuvering through the parking lot. Your safety and that of your pets are our top priorities.

Additionally, we urge you to please keep your pets away from any areas marked off for construction, particularly freshly poured concrete. Wet concrete can be harmful to animals' paws and could lead to potential injury or damage.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the safety of all our beloved pets, fellow clients, hospital staff, and construction workers.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the construction project or parking arrangements, please don't hesitate to contact us at 907-452-6055 or [email protected]

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we work to enhance our facilities for you and your pets.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Renee Rember to the AAH Team!

Dr. Renee Rember moved to Alaska to be with her husband after graduating from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. She is excited to be joining the team at Aurora Animal Hospital where she looks forward to focusing her energy and compassion on the wellbeing of her patients and their families. Dr. Rember particularly enjoys feline medicine, oncology, soft tissue surgery and dentistry. She has a particular soft spot for spicy cats and goldfish with tumors.


When she is not working, Dr. Rember enjoys hanging out with her husband and son, their six cats and menagerie of retired sled dogs. In the summer you can find her exploring Alaska on her paddle board or kayak, fishing or just floating, and in the winter enjoying the snow and wilds of Alaska with her family, dogs and skis. She also enjoys volunteering her time as a veterinarian in emergency response efforts and does some work with Veterinarians Without Borders.

Her schedule is ready for appointments starting Wednesday, April 10th! Give us a call at 907-452-6055 to inquire today!
