To take dogs into US, you definitely need rabies shots and the rabies certificate with the dates of when it was administered and when it expires. The last time I crossed the border, they were very strict about it. Luckily, I always bring it with me in their carriers. The rabies tags are not enough for customs. Oh and also, the rabies shots must be administered some time (I think it's 30 days) before you can cross the border. |
Here are the regulations:
