Are You in Canada Temporarily?
Jurisdiction entry requirements for dogs and cats can change without notice. However, we generally recommend the following to mitigate unforeseen costs and delays when travelling, including within North America:
- Plan ahead; look into requirements for the country you are planning to travel to with your pet at least one year before your anticipated travel date.
- Ensure your pet has a readable microchip.
- Ensure your pet has a current rabies vaccination, given post microchip implantation. Most jurisdictions require rabies vaccinations to have been completed at least 30 days prior to arrival but within the last year.
- Ensure your pet’s standard vaccinations are up to date, including for Bordetella.
If you are returning to one of the following destinations, please follow these additional requirements:
Australia
Your pet will require an ISO microchip and a rabies vaccination, followed by a FAVN rabies Titre test. Australia only recognizes one-year rabies vaccinations, so be sure not to let your rabies vaccination lapse.
Brazil
Vaccinate your pet with a rabies vaccine at least 21 days prior to travel.
China
Please note that China has a “one pet per passport” policy. Also, depending on the arrival airport, your pet may be required to arrive within a certain amount of time after your arrival. Please contact us regarding specifics.
The EU
Pets must have a microchip implant, followed by a rabies vaccination. Pets may enter the E.U 21 days after the rabies jab.
Hong Kong
Your pet must be at least 5 months of age to enter Hong Kong. Pets entering Hong Kong will require a microchip, rabies vaccination and standard vaccinations. Hong Kong only accepts one-year vaccinations.
Japan
Vaccinate your pet with a rabies vaccine twice (a minimum of 31 days apart), and know that your pet requires the FAVN rabies titer blood test at least 180 days prior to your planned arrival date.
New Zealand
Your pet will require an ISO microchip and a rabies vaccination, followed by a FAVN rabies Titre test. New Zealand only recognizes one-year rabies vaccinations, so be sure not to let your rabies vaccination lapse.
South Korea
Your pet requires the FAVN rabies titer blood test and can travel immediately after receiving the test results. However, it can take several weeks to receive the results, so allow for longer preparation time of travel.
