  • Dogs from high-risk rabies countries must have a valid rabies vaccination certificate and are only allowed entry through a CDC-approved port of entry facility, where additional health screenings may be required.
  • Minimum age: six months. Dogs must be microchipped and appear healthy.
  • Entry requirements vary by country of origin and may include quarantine.
