Answer 4

as far as i am aware it has to have its shots and is not quarantined now you have a pet passport and if you were returning to the country you came from then it needs to be quarantined its 6 months if you decide to come back to were you came from and the costs work out at 30 pounds a day to kennel your dog

Answer 5

In US none, other countries 6 months, because they dont have rabies there. Oh forgot Hawaii is 6 months.

Answer 6

A lot depends on the country you are in and the country you may return to. You will have to check with each individual airline to determine the cost to ship your dog. Most airlines DO NOT allow the animal to fly as carry on but require they travel as cargo.
I do know (for a fact) to ship to European countries from the US the shipping/custom fees are in the thousands. And there are all sorts of requirements and paperwork.

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

All domestic dogs 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 arriving in Hawaii or Guam, both of which are free of rabies, are subject to that state's/ territory's quarantine requirements, and the following information does NOT apply.

Dogs must be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before entering the United States. This requirement does not apply, however, to puppies less than three months of age or to dogs originating or located for at least six months in areas designated by the U.S. Public Health Service as being rabies-free.

The following procedures pertain to dogs arriving from areas that are not free of rabies:
If you are in Europe you are probably in a rabies FREE area.

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.

According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, your pet must be at least eight weeks and weaned at least five days before flying. (Some airlines may set a higher minimum such as three months, puppies really are not suitable.)

Young puppies must be confined at a place of the owner's choosing until they are three months old, then they must be vaccinated. They must remain in confinement for 30 days. Dogs that arrive in Hawaii or Guam, both of which are free of rabies, are subject to the state's or territory's quarantine requirements, in addition to whatever other Public Health Service requirements, above, apply.

Answer 7

Quarantine between 16 weeks and 6 months.
!!!U.S DOES HAVE RABIES!!!

Answer 8
