Update on CDC Dog Importation Rule


DISCLAIMER: the following is a brief summary of the requirements and changes. All information is subject to change at any time and the following is NOT an official record. Please consult the CFIA and CDC websites at all times for the official requirements and most up-to-date information.
 

We’re pleased to provide you with the latest update regarding the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) Dog Importation Rule effective August 1, 2024.

We are seeing further changes due to the increase in advocacy from CKC and our members, other organizations and ongoing work that CFIA is doing.

Please note that for dogs entering the U.S. from Canada (given that they have been in Canada for a minimum of 6 months), the only form that is required now is the CDC Dog Import Form. You will no longer need to complete an export form for certification by a licensed veterinarian.

The following is required for dogs entering the U.S. from Canada, as of August 1, 2024.
  • be at least 6 months of age
  • appear healthy upon arrival
  • have a universally readable microchip
  • have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt
    • must be submitted through the CDC website
    • a receipt is required for each dog and for every entry into the U.S.
    • instructions on how to fill out the form can be found here

As we have stated before, the situation is still fluid and there could be further changes. We will continue to advocate on behalf of our members and we encourage our members to write letters to the CDC using the TEMPLATE provided. We ask that you keep the requests of the CDC consistent with what CKC and AKC have put forward.
