If you plan on crossing the Canada US border with your dog this summer there are some Changes coming into effect as of August 1st from the Centers for Disease Control.
There will now be 5 requirements for dog owners crossing the border. The two existing rules are that Dogs must be visibly healthy and show proof of rabies documentation, but three new requirements state that a dog must be at least 6 months old, have an implanted International Organization for Standardization compatible microchip, and CDC dog import forms must be completed before crossing.
Certain health issues of pets may require having your vet endorse the form prior to crossing the border. The changes come into place to help cut down on the spread of diseases.
