Question
Planning to move from the uk to america (boston MA) and have 4 staffordshire bull terriers.
Just wondering whether they would need to be in quarantine and for how long and the sort of prices?

thanks!

Answer
As I have stated so many times in the past: There is NO quarantine in
USA. To enter USA:  Health cert issued within 10 days of flight and
valid rabies vac.
Many airlines will not carry pit bulls......
You MUST get ALL this info at your end.  No one in USA can do this
for you.  If you can, bring dogs with you as excess baggage.  Much
cheaper and would clear customs with you.  You must get this info
direct from the airlines.....
If you ship as cargo, new TSA rules require you to use a known
shipper at your end.  Pet shipper, cargo handler, freight forwarder,
etc.  You can visit:  www.ipata.com   to find pet shippers in UK
