thank you so much for this video! my grandma wants to bring her dog from guatemala over to the US, so this video really helped me understand the whole process.
Great video. I’m bringing my little guy from Ukraine. It was very helpful. I was lost reading all these rules on cdc…then breathed a sigh of relief after this. It isn’t as bad as it seems. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! Please note, the CDC guidelines are changing in August 2024. I highly recommend you import your dog before August 1st. We are releasing a new video soon in which we talk about the new CDC regulations. Make sure you're subscribed to our channel and turn on notifications so you get notified when we release the Update.
That was very informative. I really enjoyed it. My wife and I are traveling from South America Colombia which is one of the countries that is considered high risk we have a a German shepherd named Constantine, who we are going through this process now everything that I have state is so far has been definitely true in and very informative. It has answered some questions that my wife and I have been working our way through. Thank you very much we appreciate it.
Aww thank you so much for watching and sharing your feedback! We are so happy to hear the video has been so informative and has confirmed all the research that you've done yourself already. So happy it has even answered some of your open questions. Thats amazing :) Wishing you and Constantine safe travels and hope everything works out perfectly :)
Thanks for this info! Its great to hear you got approval in 2 days! Its the one part I’m stressed about. Other than having to pay the fees for 3 dogs 😅🐶
Aww thank you so much for watching! Yes, when we applied for the permit we were also wondering how long it would take and were so happy when we got the approval within 2 days. I hope you've received it already! Safe travels 😀
Are you able to import the dog before August 2024? If so, it will be much easier. Here are the New CDC 2024 Guidelines, which go into effect in August 2024. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1oYOsmEI-2c.html
This video is so helpful! We are flying our dog from Brazil to the US in October so under the new guidelines. It appears we have to get a broker and a contracted company who will pick our dog up at the airport and take her to a bonded quarantine facility where she will be kept overnight. The following day a USDA Vet will examine her and administer the US rabies vaccine. After that CDC release is requested and broker will take care of Customs clearance and once received our dog will be released to us. So unfortunately the process seems to be getting more complicated and expensive.
Hey Charlotte, thanks for your comment! Yes, the new guidelines go into affect from Aug 1, 2024. However, everything in this video still remains the same of your dog is flying into the US from a high-risk rabies country and they have also been vaccinated outside the US. The additional requirement is now the pets will need to be vaccinated at the Port of Entry. Yes, if you are using a broker then this would further increase the cost of service. If you're able to have the import permit issued before Aug 1, 2024, then you would then have until Aug 31, 2024 to import your dog under the current rules. We'll likely make a new video about this
@@PAWDEGA Thanks for your response. We were told we have to use a broker by the quarantine coordinator. It's probably worth the money to have the peace of mind in our case. We are unable to move our dog, Izzy, before August 31 unfortunately. If we had been aware of the new guidelines a few months ago we would have made a point to fly earlier.

Thank you for this, its a lot but i need to keep to rewatching not to miss anything. Is there anything else that i need to do here in the US before my dog arrives?
I'm so glad this video was helpful to you! We've shared all our knowledge and experience in this video, so there's nothing else I can think of as far as the flight goes. You may want to stock up on some natural, functional supplements to help reduce stress and help your dog get used to the new home faster. You can find our top picks here: pawdega.us/products/anxiety-support-bundle Wishing your dog a very safe and successful flight!

Thanks for the video guys! I found it really helpful. I’m trying to ship my dog via cargo from Indonesia(Jakarta) to SFO before end of July 2024. To give you a lil bit of background, so far we already have him microchipped, done his titer test, and still waiting for the CDC import permit to be approved. Would you recommend hiring a custom clearance agent in the US? Bcs I’ve heard custom clearance in the US esp for cargo it’s kinda complicated and some airports do require an agent. Really appreciate if you can give some tips on this, thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment 😊 If you have all the documents you need and have the import permit issued before 31.07.24 and you import your dog before 31.08.24, you should have no issues. We haven't flown our dog through cargo into the US, so I couldn't say if or how complicated it would be, but documents remain the same. I think the only complicated part would be trying to figure out where to collect your dog as this would depend on the airport you fly into. If possible, flying your dog as 'Excess Baggage' would be a lot easier than Manifested Cargo as far picking up your dog after the flight. The pro of having a clearing agent is that they could give you piece of mind during the clearance of your pet. Hope this helps, safe travels
Hello! First off thank you so much for the detailed instructions! I have a quick question about during layovers, I’m not sure if you had a layover or not but I’m bringing my dog from Thailand and I will have a couple layovers. I was wondering if I needed extra time or do I have to show any documents during my layovers?
Thank you for watching. We had one layover in Canada which was 2 hours and plenty of time. They did not ask us for any papers in Canada, but I think every country and airport will handle this differently though.
@@roadexplorer.... Oh thats amazing! Where are you traveling to? Did you see our other video in which we explained how we travelled from Dubai to USA inside the cabin? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39OY7GLsews.html
. thankyou guys for sharing such a valuable information about the paper work required from high risk rabies countries.. I am planning to take my 3 years old frenchie from India to us .. can you share your inflight experience with your dog .. how can we make them comfortable during flight .

You can watch the updated video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1oYOsmEI-2c.html Also, I think you will enjoy this video in which we talked about a stress-free travel experience and how to prepare your dog for travel: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hbCYGnk7J94.html
Thanks so much! This was very helpful. I am actually preparing to do this trip with my frenchie from Turkey. I do have one question… What size & type of carry on peg carrier did you use?
Hey Shane! I'm so happy that you found the video helpful. We use this soft-sided pet carrier here: Soft-Sided Pet Travel Box: amzn.to/452eXXE . Safe travels to the USA!
Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, under these rules it would not be possible to import puppies. Also, the CDC rules are changing August 2024 and are becoming even more strict. We are releasing a video about the new rules this week.
Hey, Thank you for the informative video! I just wanted to know the size of your dog and its carrier because my dog only weighs around 10.4 kg but I was under the impression that he couldn’t travel in cabin. Also, please let me know how you booked him in with you for your flight.
Hey, Thanks so much for watching. Our dog is a French Bulldog and she weighed 12kg PLUS her bag weighed about 1kg. A lot of airlines have a weight restriction, but Air Canada did not have a weight restriction. They only had a size restriction. Our dog fit into this travel box: Soft-Sided Pet Travel Box: amzn.to/452eXXE. We flew with Air Canada, had a stop over in Toronto, and it all went well. We booked our ticket online and gave them a call to add our dog onto the flight in the cabin. I recommend calling them before you book online, just to make sure your dog can be added to this specific route. Safe travels :)
Thank you for this informative video! New follower. I have a question I want to bring a puppy (2months old) from the Dominican Republic which is consider a high risk country. Do I need to follow all you explained even though the puppy has not been in the DR for the 6 months ? Thank you so much in advance.
Hi thanks for your comment. If you're dog was vaccinated outside the US then yes you would need to follow all of the steps mentioned in this video. If your permit is issued after Aug 1, 2024, then you will need to take one extra step which is for your dog to be vaccinated for Rabies at the Port of Entry. You will need to fly into only 1 of 5 Airports mentioned in the link below and also make an appointment for this. www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/approved-care-facilities.html If you can have the import issued before Aug 1 2024 and fly in before Aug 31, 2024, this may save you a lot of money and stress. Safe travels
Hi! This was so helpful. I want to know if you relocated or shifted to USA permanently or just travelling ? Because I am soon going to travel to new york with my 5kg shih tzu, so are the rules and procedures same for just travelling dogs too?
Can you please share which post carrier you used to mail the blood sample, and whether you chose a "large letter" or what parcel size you selected to mail the blood sample? And about how many Kilograms the parcel size was that you selected, or Large letter. Did you have to request the postal service you chose to mail the letter or parcel to your address in the UAE of did they have an office there? Maybe you just used the local post. Anyway, this information would be very helpful, and it is not in the Downloadable instructions you provide which by the way is super helpful, thank you!
Hi Gabriela, Thanks for your comment. You may find the video link below more useful, it's everything we specifically did from Dubai to get to USA. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39OY7GLsews.html But to answer your question, the serologic Titer Test was done at The Veterinary Hospital and they handled the transport to the laboratory and we then awaited the results which took about 2 weeks. Safe travels ⭐ If you’re in UAE, you can get the Serologic Titer Test done at The Veterinary Hospital in Al Wasl Dubai and get AED 50 off when you mention PAWDEGA at the reception
Thank you. It sounds like the Vet took care or that. I am in India, and the Vets in the town i am in aren’t experienced with this process so i am figuring that part out myself. Thank you for all your info :)
Very informative, thanks a lot for your work! But I have an extra question in terms of filling in the CDC RABIES VACCINATION AND MICROCHIP RECORD. Should it be filled in by hand or right in the PDF file and then printed? Thanks in advance🙏🏼
Either or is fine, ours was personally filled out by hand and signed by our veterinarian. I would just say if it's done by hand make sure it's legible. Safe travels ☺
For us it, it basically took 45 days. If your dog needs a vaccination, then you have to wait 30 days before you can do the titer test. Then another 45 days after you get the titer test done. So it depends on if your dog needs to be vaccinated agin or not.
Here is an updated video for the New CDC Guidelines going into affect August 1st 2024: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1oYOsmEI-2c.html

Thanks, this is very informative. When you say dogs can enter to the US through very specific airports, does this also apply to low risk rabie countries? Best
Hey! This is a great question, as per the CDC website, this would not apply to low-risk countries. There are fewer requirements to enter the USA. You may enter through any port. More information can be found here: www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dog-origin.html
Hey Jennifer, thanks for your comment. We flew from Dubai and had a connecting flight in Toronto. In Toronto, we went through US Customs Preauthorizatuon. This is where we declared that we were traveling with a dog. However, no one check her or her documents. We werent checked when we arrived into Newark, NJ either. But I would highly recommend having all documents for the import.
Hi Jacqueline, thanks for your comment. You can find the CDC Import Permit Link here: www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/apply-dog-import-permit.html
@PAWDEGA Thankx to your video my nerves are better, I went online and read so many different things that my anxiety whent to 100 in seconds. Very detailed information. Thank u. My husband just got his visa approval to travel and we can't leave our baby behind. So as soon as we get our dog ready for travel , he can travel as well.
@@jacquelinecollazo8868 I'm glad this was helpful! Please note that the CDC has announced changes to the import process, which come into effect after August 1st. I highly recommend importing your dog before August 1st, 2024 to avoid higher fees, etc.
My wife and I are looking to travel from the US to Thailand and back with our dog. We are trying to figure out if he will have to be quarantined upon return. He is prone to being very stressed by change and being isolated would prove very detrimental to his health. Any thoughts?
Hey! This is a great question, Thailand is considered to be a high-risk rabies country. Therefore you'd need to follow all of the steps listed in this video in order to return to America. I don't know how long your travel is but you'll need to have the Serologic Rabies test taken at least 45 days upon your return into USA. Technically the Seroligic Test can be taken in the USA before you leave the US. It would be valid for 1 year from the date the blood sample is collected from your dog. This could help if you'll be in Thailand for less than 45 days. Hope this helps 😊
Hey there, thanks for your comment. According to the CDC, dogs under the age of 6 month can not be imported into the US from a high risk rabies country.
Does the dog need to be 6 months to fly out. I’m getting a dog from Italy which is no risk of rabies. So does that mean I can bring her before 6 months ?
"Dogs that have NOT been in a high-risk country in the past 6 months may enter the United States through any port of entry, and importers are NOT required by CDC to present rabies vaccination documentation. However, when your dog enters the United States, you must provide a written or verbal statement your dog has only been in a country NOT at high risk for at least 6 months or since birth if under 6 months of age. There is no limit to the number of dogs." - According to CDC this is allowed. Please refer to CDC for more information. www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dog-origin.html
Great question, it took about 7-10 days to get the results of the Rabies Titer test. Once we got that, we applied for the CDC Import Permit, at the time when we applied it took 2 days to get the approval to enter (this can take up to 8 weeks stated by CDC). The earliest we were able to enter was mandatory 45 days waiting period from the date titer test was taken. So in our case it took 45 days from the date the titer test was taken. So you'll absolutely want to get the titer test ASAP if you're looking to get to the USA quickly.
Hey Nicky! Thanks for your comment! In the case of no CDC approved laboratory being available in your country, you'll need to go to your local vet, they'd likely be able to send the bloodwork to a CDC approved lab in the nearest country. Hope this helps and safe travels
Hey Juli, thanks for your comment. You should be able to go to your local veterinarian and have them draw blood for you. They should then be able to forward the blood to a laboratory that will be able to do the rabies titer test. Good luck and safe travels
Upload Passport from Person who will import the pet to the USA?? would that be my passport (the applicant) or will that be the Sender's Passport from Turkey?
Thanks for your comment, I only know the answer this if you or someone you know are traveling with the pet. In this case, you'll need to upload the passport copy of the person traveling with pet. If you are using a pet relocation company, best to ask them about this. Safe travels
@@adriandy5314 hey Adrian, it should be in the name of the person that will be traveling or receiving the pet. If you are using a pet relocation company, it'll be best to ask this to them.
