Q. I am a U.S. citizen and plan on visiting Canada next summer. What papers do I need to take my dog over the border into Canada?



A. All and crossing into Canada must have a valid

certificate of vaccination (International Statement of Health). This has to certify that your pet has had its rabies shot within the previous three years. I would suggest that if your three-year limit is close to expiring you should have your pet revaccinated. You must also have a certificate from a practising veterinarian clearly identifying the animal.

NOTE: Be sure to check the regulations on re-entry to the USA at www.aphis.usda.gov (301) 734-8364 (see our RV WebLinks page for additional websites). If your rabies is not dated it will only be good for one year. (My vet removed the label from the vial and attached it to our babies vaccination records with a note verifying their three year coverage).



I found this on the internet. Maybe it can help you out a bit.
