Question
I am looking into getting a fila puppy from Brazil and wanted to know if there is a quarantine time if I would have an 8 week old puppy flown here?

Answer
Hi Mary,

Thank you for your inquiry.  The US does not have quarantine for dogs or cats coming into the country.  You will need a health certificate for your dog to have on the flight, as well sign a document for the CDC upon arrival saying you will vaccinate your dog for rabies when he is old enough.

Good luck!
Kind regards,
