CDC Expands Rule for Import of Dogs into The U.S., Effective Aug 1
Under the new rule, all dogs must meet the following requirements for importation into the United States (including those that left the U.S. and are returning—regardless of the country they are being imported from):
  1. Be healthy upon arrival
  2. Be at least 6 months of age
  3. Have an ISO -compatible microchip (implanted prior to any required rabies vaccinations)
  4. Have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt. The CDC Dog Import Form is an online form on CDC’s website
  5. Have additional documents depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States
Additional requirements will be needed for dogs imported from countries designated as high-risk for DMRVV (canine rabies). These requirements may include arriving at a port with a CDC-registered animal care facility (ACF), an appointment with an ACF prior to import, and quarantine.
