Requirements for dogs entering the U.S.
Posted date : Sep 17, 2024.
In looking at the new requirements for taking a dog into the U.S., as stated on the CSA site, the form is valid for multiple entries into the U.S. for the duration of the rabies vaccination’s validity (one or three years), if the rabies vaccination was administered in Canada. Will that form also be valid if someone is returning to the U.S. from Mexico?

Ed.: The form which is now required for Canadian dog owners travelling to the United States is the CDC Dog Import Form, which is valid for up to six months. However, you will require a new CDC Dog Import Form listing Mexico as the country of departure when you return to the United States en route to Canada. You have to go to the CDC website, fill out the form and display the receipt on your smart phone or print it out for presentation to the CBP officer.
