QuestionHi I have a ShihTzu and am currently looking to re locate to Los Angeles. He has
had all vaccinations since being a puppy but was 3 days late for his annual
booster in september of last year. Do I need to start all over again or is it every 2
years in America for Rabies jabs. So confused by Defra website!HELP PLEASE!!
THANKS
AnswerHi Natalie,
Thanks for your inquiry! The only requirements for importing a pet into the US are:
Health certificate within 10 days of flight
Current rabies vaccination - *the US does not care if your shots have lapsed.*
They will ask for this when you are clearing through customs.
If you need further assistance or would like for a professional to make your pet's arrangements, please contact me directly at my email address listed below.
Happy travels & wagging tails!
