Pet travel destinations

Pet travel requirements by destination

Three sets of rules stack on every pet trip: the federal framework USDA APHIS administers, the entry requirements of the place you are arriving in, and whatever your airline or ground transporter adds on top. These pages break each destination down into what you actually need to have in hand — and what has to happen months in advance.

Island and territory travel

Hawaii and Guam are rabies-free and run entry programs that a standard travel certificate cannot satisfy on its own. Start these months ahead.

Traveling between states?
