Taking our cat to the US

Question
Hi,

We brought our cat from the UK to Dubai on the pet passport scheme, we are now looking at moving from Dubai to the USA (Dallas, Texas). Can the cat enter the USA from Dubai? Will the cat have to enter quarantine, if so for how long? Or is it better to take the cat back to the UK and enter the USA that way.

I really hope you can help!

Many thanks for your time

Kelly

Answer
Hi Kelly,

Thanks for your email!

There is absolutely no problem entering the USA from Dubai.  There is no quarantine and the only thing you will need to make sure of is that the rabies shot is over 30 days and less than a year old as of the day you travel.  You will also need a health certificate dated within 10 days of travel.

Thanks again and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Warmly,
