The new rules on crossing US-Canada border with dogs Changes begin Aug. 1.
DETROIT – There are new rules impacting people entering the United States from Canada with dogs.
The changes come after the CDC announced changes due to rabies concerns in May .
Starting Aug. 1, dog owners no longer need an endorsement from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to cross the border with their pet, they just need an endorsement from a Canadian-licensed veterinarian.
All dogs must appear healthy upon arrival, be at least six months old, have a microchip and a CDC Dog Import Form receipt.
Proof of rabies vaccination may be required based on where the dog has been in the six months prior and whether the dog was vaccinated in the United States.
More information can be found on the Customs and Border Protection website .
