Changes to U.S. dog import regulations: What they are and why they matter for dogs and for people
theconversation.com
The CDC’s new rules for bringing dogs into the U.S., in effect Aug. 1, have been revised to make them less onerous. But they highlight the impact of such rules on the well-being of pets and people.

    If I’m reading this correctly, we now have to wait until the dog is 6 months old to import.

    I wonder how this is going to impact working dogs, military dogs, and police dogs. They’re often imported from other countries. This means we’re probably going to pay more for adult, trained dogs, and have less access to puppies with the intent on training them over here.

    More bureaucracy to bring animals in. I would love to know numbers on how many animals imported to the US brought rabies with them due to non-cdc verified vaccination records.

    We already have rabies in the US, what exactly are we keeping out?
