Update to the new CDC import rules which now allow for US/Canada crossing for microchipped pets over 6 months of age:

July 23, 2024
https://www.akc.org/legislative-alerts/cdc-revises-requirements-importing-dogs-older-6-months-low-risk-countries/

Yesterday (July 22, 2024), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provided an update to related to new CDC requirements effective August 1 for importing or traveling into the United States with a dog older than 6 months of age.

The revisions to the rule no longer require an additional rabies vaccination form certified by a USDA-accredited veterinarian or an official government veterinarian in the exporting country. Instead, for dogs entering the U.S. from low-risk or dog-maintained rabies virus variant (DMRVV)-free countries like Canada, the revised rule simplifies entry by requiring one form—the CDC Dog Import Form—that does not have to be endorsed by a veterinarian. This form requires the dog’s microchip number, a picture, and an attestation that the dog has not been in a high-risk country in the past six months.

Additionally, instead of making travelers update this form for every entry, it will now be valid for six months. However, CDC will continue to require all dogs entering the U.S. to be at least six-months old and be microchipped.

As stated in the update:

“To provide greater flexibility to the requirements for dogs coming from dog rabies-free or low-risk countries, when the rule goes into effect on August 1, 2024…, dogs that have spent the prior six months only in dog rabies-free or low-risk rabies countries will be able to enter the United States with a CDC Import Form online submission receipt as acceptable documentation.

This form can be filled out the day of travel and the receipt can be shown to airlines and border officials as a printed copy or by phone. The receipt will be good for travel into the U.S. for six months from the date of issuance, including multiple entries.

All dogs entering the United States must have a microchip and be over six months of age.”

The online CDC Dog Import Form, and other information regarding bringing dogs into the United States from low-risk countries may be found on the CDC website.

AKC continues to be concerned with the disproportionate impacts the new rule will have on low-risk importations for dogs between 4 and 6 months of age. We urge you to send respectful comments to CDC and your members of Congress regarding this issue. Read AKC’s previous alert for talking points and more information on how to contact them regarding this issue.

For questions and concerns regarding the new CDC rule, contact CDC directly:
(404) 498-1600 or [email protected].

AKC Government Relations will continue to provide updates and information as it becomes available.

August 1 Import CDC Rule:

July 19, 2024
https://www.akc.org/legislative-alerts/cdcs-dog-import-rule-share-concerns-cdc-congress/

On August 1, 2024, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will implement new restrictions and requirements for the entry of dogs into the U.S. Anyone planning to bring a dog into the U.S. in the near future should familiarize themselves with upcoming import policy changes.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes the serious health threats posed by the recent, continuing import of unhealthy dogs using fraudulent veterinary/import paperwork, and supports CDC’s intention of protecting the public from serious health risks.

However, AKC remains concerned that banning the import of all dogs younger than six months is overly burdensome and will have a disproportionate impact on the entry/importation of low-risk, personally-owned dogs, including those that regularly cross the U.S.-Canadian border for canine events, veterinary care, and breeder collaboration.

What You Can Do
AKC is pleased that some members of Congress, as well as other responsible sporting dog organizations, share this concern and are asking CDC to delay implementation of this rule for at least six months, so that possible exceptions for low-risk, personally-owned dogs may be considered.

If you have concerns about the new import rule, we encourage you to contact your members of the U.S. House and Senate, and the CDC. Respectfully express your concerns and ask for a delay in implementing the new rule so that concerns relating to personally-owned, low-risk canine imports/entry can be addressed.

Congressional outreach is particularly valuable if you live in states that are close to the U.S./Canada border, as many of these members are in direct contact with the CDC regarding this issue.
Share messages in personalized, individual emails, calls, or letters in which you represent your own situation or that of your club.
Tell your story about how it negatively impacts you and your colleagues, events, etc., as responsible dog enthusiasts.
Ask the CDC to work with the American Kennel Club and other organizations that represent responsible dog owners to consider exceptions for personally-owned dogs that can affirmatively demonstrate little risk of canine rabies.
Other points you may wish to include:
The final rule disregards the difference in risk profiles for personally-owned pets and dogs intended for transfer.
The proposed rule for comment included exceptions, potentially reducing comment, but the final rule provided no exceptions.
There is little risk from fully vaccinated puppies from low-risk countries entering the U.S. at four months of age.

To contact the CDC for specific inquiries or to express concerns, call (404) 498-1600 or email [email protected]. More information about the rule is available at www.cdc.gov/dogtravel.

If you can, please also share your messages and any responses with the AKC Government Relations team at [email protected]. We will use these messages for reference as we continue to reach out directly to Members of Congress and the CDC.

Your respectful outreach can lay a foundation for cooperation between responsible dog owners and government agencies to protect both public health and canine travel.

The BCA received an incredible gift yesterday, a Dutch thrift store find of magazines, one of which showed a Barbet named Veldman with his “wife and family” in 1911. We hope to learn more about these dogs through some kennel club archives. Stay tuned!
