Following feedback received from the public, industry partners, and various countries on a dog importation rule, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has clarified and simplified its new process for bringing dogs into the United States from rabies-free and low-risk dog rabies countries.
The rule changes, going into effect Aug. 1, require dog owners to equip their pets with a microchip and present CDC dog import forms, among other requirements. A key one had included a CDC import form that requires one section to be filled out by the dog’s veterinarian, with an endorsement from an “official government veterinarian” in the exporting country.
