Does anyone know how difficult it is or what the requirements are to get a CDC dog import permit if traveling from Thailand? I want to travel to the US with my dog in September and was informed about this new rule by the airline. It says I need to apply for it 2 months in advance. I'm wondering if it's even worth applying for. Thailand is considered a high risk country for rabies. My dog was vaccinated against rabies in Thailand, but it says the CDC will only allow a vaccination certificate from the CDC... I'm assuming my dog's vaccination certificate will not be accepted. Is that right?
