Department of State Go to source Some dangerous breeds, such as pitbulls, are restricted from traveling on certain airlines or from being imported into certain states. Check this information with the airline if you think there's a risk that your dog's breed may a be an issue.
Acquire a travel crate. The airline requires the crate to be sufficiently large for the dog to be able to stand up inside and turn around. Consider a pet relocation service. If taking your dog with you via airplane is too inconvenient, or if your airline will not accommodate your dog, hiring a pet relocation service is another option. This can be quite costly, but might be worth the investment if typical airline shipping is not an option.
Start talking to an agency well before your move. All regulations regarding international transportation must be adhered to by the relocation service and they need adequate time to plan.
Two to three months in advance is the best way to assure your pet arrives in the US in time. Pricing varies, but is dependent on far more than just the weight of the dog. Other factors include the weight of the crate, the distance of the journey, the level of difficulty that comes with following regulations, and any other arrangements necessary to the dog's safe arrival.
It might be difficult to get a cost estimate without scheduling several meetings with a representative. Prepare your pet for travel. Travel is extremely stressful for pets, and adding the burden of an international journey can translate to disaster if your pet is not adequately prepared.
In the months leading to your relocation, take steps to prepare your pet for travel. Crate train your pet before the journey. Dogs need to be familiarized with their crate and learn to associate it with positive feedback. This can start with putting food, water, and toys in a dog's crate and allowing her to come and go from the crate as she wishes.
Shutting her in the crate while you are out of the house will teach her to accept being confined to it. If your dog is small enough, it's ideal to be able to carry the crate from place to place with the dog in it. This desensitizes her to movement and minimizes the trauma of an airplane's motions. If your dog is too big to be carried, consider taking her on brief car trips in her crate. Dogs get nervous and might try to claw their way out of a carrier. They could easily snag or tear a nail, leading to bleeding, crying, and general distress.
Look for a flight with limited layovers. Part 2. Get your dog a rabies vaccine and certificate. Rabies is one of the most important issues when it comes to overseas travel. The vast majority of the dogs who travel to the United States must have a current and valid rabies certificate. It should include all of the following: The name and address of the owner The breed, sex, age, and color of the dog The date of the rabies vaccination Products used for the vaccination The date the vaccination expires The name, license number, address, and signature of the veterinarian who performed the vaccination.
The date of the vaccination can impact confinement periods. If the vaccination occurred less than 30 days before arrival, your dog will be confined for 30 days until it can be released to you.
You are able to choose the facility where your dog will be confined. Familiarize yourself with exceptions to rabies restrictions. While most dogs will need a rabies vaccine to be permitted in the US, there are some exceptions. Know what these exceptions are as you might be able to forego the certificate. If you have a puppy who is too young to be vaccinated, less than 3 months, you are permitted to take the dog into the country.
However, the puppy will be confined until he can receive the vaccination and for an additional 30 days. Due to the limited access to rabies vaccines in these countries, rules are different. Dogs are permitted to enter the US without the vaccination if the dog has lived there since birth or for at least 6 months. The dog will be required to receive the vaccine upon arrival and will be confined for 30 days. Learn about other special circumstances. In addition to rabies concerns, there are other issues surrounding international transportation of dogs.
If you're traveling from certain countries, the US has special protocol for allowing your dog to enter. Screwworm, a parasitic fly known to infect dogs, is only present in certain countries.
If your country contains screwworm, your dog will need a certificate from a licensed veterinarian declaring them screwworm free in order to enter the country. Your dog needs to have been inspected for screwworm within 5 days of entering the US. If you're from a country that's experienced Foot and Mouth Disease, you must take special considerations when bringing your dog to the US. Feet, fur, and bedding should be dirt free. Straw and hay should be eliminated from a dog's crate.
Your dog should be bathed shortly after arriving in the US and kept separate from livestock for at least 5 days. You must follow all protocol even if the dog is not your pet. Part 3. Take a trip to the vet's office. Tell your veterinary you're planning on traveling to the United States. Book an appointment promptly, making sure you have enough time to procure test results. The following tests and procedures should be performed: Blood tests Vaccinations Microchips for identification purposes, if your vet can provide them After the exam, your vet should provide a Certificates of Veterinary Inspection to clear your pet for overseas travel.
Include all necessary information on a pet's crate. When traveling with your dog, it's vital to include certain information his crate. This provides security on the off chance the crate is misrouted when changing flights. Include your pet's name and basic contact information for yourself. It's great to include email as, if you're traveling overseas, your phone might not work in the US. If possible, have a sticker of the information made at a local print shop as this will stick more readily to the crate.
Prepare for customs. When traveling into the United States, you'll have to go through customs to get your pet cleared for entrance into the country. Prepare ahead of time to keep the process smooth and timely. In addition to having forms from your vet and proof of vaccination, you need to fill out the CPB Form This asks for basic contact information for you and a variety of questions about your dog.
It can be downloaded from the website of your airline. Have a copy handy when approaching customs. If you're having your pet shipped as cargo, fax a copy and the other forms to the shipper. Department of State Go to source Check the hours of operation at customs at your arrival port.
You do not want to end up waiting overnight to get your pet home safe. Department of State Go to source If you have all the proper paperwork, and your dog does not need to be confined, you should be cleared to enter the country.
I have 2 small dogs that I want to take to San Francisco. They would be fine in one container. I wouldn't want them in cargo, but both with me.
Is there any way that it could be arranged? You'll have to check with your airline for their specific policy. They all have limits for how many animals can be in the cabin at a time, and they probably have individual policies regarding multiple animals in one container. They may also have specific requirements for the container, so ask about this as well.

Grayback continued on patrol, torpedoing and damaging several Japanese ships. On 17 January she attacked a destroyer escorting a large maru , hoping to disable the escort and then sink the freighter with her deck guns.
However, the destroyer evaded the torpedoes and dropped 19 depth charges on Grayback. One blew a gasket on a manhole cover; and the submarine, leaking seriously, was ordered back to Brisbane where she arrived 23 February. On her sixth war patrol from 16 February to 4 April , Grayback returned empty-handed from the Bismarck-Solomons area.
Her newly installed SJ radar had failed to function; and although she had taken several shots at maru s, none were sunk. The seventh patrol proved more successful. Departing Brisbane on 25 April , Grayback intercepted a convoy whose position had been radioed to her by Albacore SS on 11 May. In a night surface attack, Grayback fired a spread of six torpedoes at the seven freighters and their three escorts.
The three escorts charged and she had to go deep to elude the attacking enemy. She was credited with the sinking of caro ship Yodogawa Maru. On 16 May she torpedoed and seriously damaged the destroyer Yugure. The following day Grayback intercepted four Maru s with one escort and sank freighter England Maru and damaged two others before she was forced to dive. Arriving at Pearl Harbor on 12 September , Grayback prepared for her eighth war patrol.
The three submarines under Capt. Charles B. Momsen in Cero, cruised the China Sea and returned to base with claims of 38, tons sunk and 63, damaged. Grayback accounted for two ships, the fleet tanker Kozui Maru torpedoed on 14 October and the transport Awata Maru, torpedoed after an end-around run on a fast convoy on 22 October. Wolfpack tactics came into play on 27 October as Grayback closed a convoy already attacked by Shad and administered the coup de grace to a 9, ton transport listing from two of Shad's torpedoes.
The submarines had now expended all torpedoes, and on 10 November they returned to Midway. With almost a quarter of her crew untested in battle, Grayback departed Pearl Harbor for the East China Sea on 2 December for her ninth war patrol. Within five days of her first contact with Japanese ships, she had expended all her torpedoes in a brilliant series of attacks which netted four ships for a total of over 10, tons. On the night of 18 to 19 December Grayback wreaked havoc on a convoy of four freighters and three escorts.
She sent freighter Gyokurei Maru and escort Numakaze to the bottom and damaged several others in surface attack. Two nights later, 20 to 21 December, she spotted another convoy of six ships; and, after an end,around run she fired a spread of nine torpedoes into the heart of the Japanese formation.
This first attack sunk one freighter and damaged another before Grayback dived to elude depth charges. Three hours later she surfaced and sank a second freighter. After an unsuccessful attack the following night had exhausted her torpedo supply, Grayback headed home. Undaunted by lack of torpedoes, the submarine battle-surfaced on 27 December and sank a good-sized fishing boat with deck guns before reaching Pearl Harbor on 4 January Lieutenant Commander John A.
Moore was commanding officer of Grayback SS when she was lost in February Copyright owner: Naval History and Heritage Command. On 24 February, Grayback radioed that she had sunk two cargo ships on 19 February, in an attack on Japanese convoy TAPA 02, sinking the army cargo ship Taikei Maru, and the army cargo ship Toshin Maru, that had rescued Taikei Maru's survivors, both cargo vessel's people being rescued by the Japanese destroyer Harukaze. With only two torpedoes remaining, she was ordered home from patrol.
That same day, a Japanese carrier-based plane spotted a submarine on the surface in the East China Sea and attacked. According to Japanese reports the submarine "exploded and sank immediately," but antisubmarine craft were called in to depth-charge the area, clearly marked by a trail of air bubbles, until at last a heavy oil slick swelled to the surface. Grayback had ended her last patrol, one which cost the enemy some 21, tons of shipping.
Slated to reach Midway on 7 March , Grayback did not arrive as scheduled. She was listed as overdue, presumed lost, on 30 March She ranked 20th among all submarines in total tonnage sunk with 63, tons and 24th in number of ships sunk with Grayback received two Navy Unit Commendations honoring her seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth war patrols, in addition to eight battle stars for her World War II service.
