CANADA UPDATES REGULATIONS REGARDING IMPORTING DOGS

Wednesday, October 9, 2013

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), which oversees animal imports into 
Canada, has clarified its regulations regarding the importation of “commercial” 
dogs, which includes dogs for shows and exhibitions as well as breeding dogs.

FOR DOGS UNDER EIGHT MONTHS OF AGE ENTERING CANADA FROM THE UNITED STATES—Dog 
owners and exhibitors with dogs under eight months of age are now required to 
present proof of their entry in a dog show, trial, or other competitive event 
when crossing the American-Canadian border.  This is in addition to the 
already-existing requirements of: 

·         A rabies certification (does not apply to animals three months old or 
younger)
·         a veterinary certificate of health whether or not they are 
accompanied by their owner
·         a microchip

Individuals without proof of entry in a show, trial, or other event are instead 
required to contact the CFIA Animal Health Area Office for the province they 
intend to enter at least 30 days before the dog is imported to apply for the 
permit and allow sufficient time for processing prior to entry into Canada. 

FOR DOGS OVER EIGHT MONTHS OF AGE ENTERING CANADA FROM THE UNITED STATES— Dog 
owners and exhibitors with dogs over eight months of age are required to 
present a valid rabies vaccination certificate issued by a licensed 
veterinarian.   (Dogs imported for research purposes must meet more stringent 
requirements) 

Individuals interested in taking dogs into Canada for show, trial, or other 
event purposes are encouraged to refer to the CFIA’s Automated Import Reference 
System (AIRS) at 
http://inspection.gc.ca/animals/terrestrial-animals/imports/airs/eng/1300127512994/1326599273148.
  The system provides detailed requirements personalized for each user.
