New CDC Dog Importation Requirements: FAQs for veterinarians

Starting August 1, all dogs entering or re-entering the U.S. must meet new requirements to protect the country from reintroduction of dog-mediated rabies virus variant (DMRVV or canine rabies), regardless of the planned duration of stay or the country of origin.
