what are the restrictions for bringing my american dog back to the United States from China?

Question

My dog is coming here to Shanghai, where I live, but I'll be going back home next July and want to know if I'm going to have trouble getting him back into the US.

Answer 1

CHINA IS NOT RABIES FREE, it will be best to get a rabies shot more than 30 days before you get to the US.
Each airline have their own restrictions depending on the breed and weight of dog. They also require a specific carrier be used.

The US does not quarantine healthy pets under the following conditions.

All domestic dogs and cats must be free of evidence of disease communicable to humans when examined at the port of entry. If the animal is not in apparent good health, further examination by a licensed veterinarian may be required at the owner's expense.

Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before entering the United States.

The following procedures pertain to dogs arriving from areas that are not free of rabies:

A valid rabies vaccination certificate should accompany the animal. This certificate should be in English or be accompanied by a translation. It should identify the animal, the dates of vaccination and expiration, and be signed by a licensed veterinarian. If no expiration date is specified, the certificate is acceptable if the date of vaccination is no more than 12 months before the date of arrival.

If a vaccination has not been performed, or if the certificate is not valid, the animal may be admitted if it is confined immediately upon arrival at a place of the owner's choosing. The dog must be vaccinated within four days after arrival at the final destination, but no more than 10 days after arrival at the port of entry. The animal must remain in confinement for at least 30 days after being vaccinated.

If the vaccination was performed less than 30 days before arrival, the animal may be admitted but must be confined at a place of the owner's choosing until at least 30 days have passed since the vaccination.

Pets taken out of the United States and returned are subject to the same requirements as those entering for the first time. This means that U.S. residents returning to the U.S. might need to get a Certificate of Health from an international vet if you stay in the foreign country for more than 10 days.
