**NEW** Microchip & Vaccine Mandates for Dogs: Canada-USA Border Crossing
First they came for the family pets…to pave the way for the mandates for humans?
Despite Canada being recognized as a rabies-free country, the CDC has implemented *NEW* requirements for dogs entering the USA, as of August 1, 2024.
THE MICROCHIP WILL TRACK AND TRACE ALL VACCINE RECORDS:
According to the CDC, all dogs must:
- Be at least 6 months of age at time of entry or return to the United States
- Have an implanted International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-compatible microchip
- This must have been implanted prior to any required rabies vaccination
- The microchip number must be documented on all required forms and in all accompanying veterinary records
“ARRIVE-USA” VACCINE PASSPORT NOW REQUIRED FOR DOGS ENTERING USA:
- This form should be filled out online ideally 2-10 days before arrival; however, it can also be completed right before travel (even in line at the border crossing) if you have internet access. If the information on the form changes before the dog arrives, you must submit a new form and indicate you are making changes to an existing form. All information, including port of entry where the dog is arriving, must be correct at time of arrival.
- This form requires you to upload a clear photograph of the dog showing its face and body. Dogs that will be less than one year of age at time of arrival should have the photograph taken within 10 days before arrival.
CDC requirements: rabies-free countries.
