The USDA requires that your pet must be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling. Only pets in good health are permitted to fly. Airlines will not transport animals that are violent, ill, or in physical distress.
All pets crossing state borders, with the exception of guide dogs, are required by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to have a rabies immunization and valid health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian within 30 days of travel. If your pet is traveling via cargo, or if you are a breeder, dealer, or research facility transporting a dog, the health certificate should be issued no more than 10 days before departure." |
I think the rabies is waved to 4 months of age. I don't know since I don't ship and when I've flown with mine to shows they have always been 6 months or older and have received their rabies vaccines, been examined by a vet 24 hours before flying and been issued Health Certificates stating they were in good health and able to travel.
