What are the requirements for bringing my pet dog into the United States?
Any animal known or suspected of being infected with an organism capable of causing disease in humans may require a CDC import permit. CDC’s Foreign Quarantine regulations have requirements that apply to the importation of pets such as dogs into the United States. For more information on importation of pets, go to CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine website at www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/animal.htm.
