Bringing a puppy from US to Canada

Question
Can you tell me what I need in order to bring a puppy from the US into Canada?  We are purchasing a puppy in Oregon and bringing him into Canada but need to know what paperwork and other we need to cross the border with him.  He will be 10 wks old when we pick him up.

Answer
Hi Penny,

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your new puppy!  All that is required to bring a pet into Canada from the US is a current health certificate dated within 10 days of the date of travel.  It should be issued by a vet in the US saying that he is healthy enough to travel internationally.

Have a great trip!
