A dog looks out from her spot in the car in Ottawa on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The CDC confirmed in a news release Monday that dogs coming from low-risk countries such as Canada would now only be required to fill out an online form.The U.S. Centre for Disease Control is easing new requirements for dogs crossing the border that faced pushback from the Canadian government, veterinarians, disability advocates and dog owners.
The CDC confirmed in a news release Monday that dogs coming from low-risk countries such as Canada would now only be required to fill out an online form, which can be done on the day of travel, and travellers can then show a receipt to airlines and border officials. “CDC aims to protect the health of U.S. communities and animals and prevent the re-introduction of dog rabies to the United States,” the agency says in the news release.
“CDC values the feedback received from various countries, industry partners, and the public on the dog importation rule,” said David Daigle, a CDC spokesperson, in an e-mail on Monday.
