Can immigrants bring their pets into the country?

Is it feasible to immigrate to the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other places and want to bring pets with you? In the eyes of many immigrants, pets are already family members, so let me tell you if you can bring pets into the country.

● Australia/New Zealand

After months of isolation in Hong Kong, the curve "immigration"

It usually takes more than one month to prepare for going to the United States, Canada or other countries, but it takes seven months to prepare for bringing pets into these two countries.

Among all the complicated regulations, the most important point is that pets must abide by the quarantine regulations before entering Australia, and they must first obtain an entry permit in Australia. Unfortunately, Chinese mainland is not a country with entry permit. Therefore, pet owners can only "reluctantly give up what they love", send their beloved pets to other countries or regions (the nearest region is Hong Kong) for a few months, and then bring them into China according to the necessary procedures for isolating countries or regions from entering Australia.

At present, Chinese mainland does not belong to Australia's recognized areas where pets can be brought into the country. Birds and rabbits can only be transferred from New Zealand to Australia at present. Let me introduce how the most common cats and dogs moved from Hong Kong to Australia.

1. First, go to the local pet agency in the transit area to register your pet's identity, and then go to the regular pet hospital for a general examination.

2. Vaccinate the pet and implant the chip. The chip number should appear on the relevant documents to ensure that it is the same pet.

3. One month after vaccination, it is necessary to test whether the antibody concentration in the pet serum is qualified. If it is unqualified, it is necessary to vaccinate until the serum concentration is qualified.

4. After passing the test, you can apply for a pet entry permit certificate. First of all, the applicant needs to apply for permission by fax, email or ordinary mail at AQIS, the place of entry. AQIS will fax or mail back the license forms A, B and C according to the applicant's request. A and b

Forms can be copied, which is mandatory. Form C is only used in countries without official veterinarians, and the license is valid for half a year.

5. As pets need to be isolated in Australia for a period of time, it is necessary to contact the Australian Isolation Center after obtaining the permit, reserve a place for pets and pay the isolation fee.

6. When leaving the country, the official will conduct quarantine inspection, including brucellosis, leptospirosis and rickettsia in dogs. All tests must be carried out in laboratories licensed by the government, and the results will be filled in the license.

7. Pets are subject to Australian official quarantine after entry, and the time varies according to the place of origin. The quarantine period in Hong Kong is about ten days.

● USA/Canada

You can choose your home in isolation.

It is much easier to bring pets into the United States and Canada. If your dog doesn't have a valid rabies vaccination certificate, don't worry, as long as you promise to isolate the dog from outsiders after entering the country. The most humane point is that in order not to let the owner and pet miss each other, the owner can choose the isolated place, even the home. However, after arriving at the destination, remember to vaccinate the pet within 4 days, and continue to isolate it for 30 days after vaccination. After the quarantine period, you are free to walk your dog outside.

In addition, the laws of the United States and Canada stipulate that dogs under three months cannot be vaccinated against rabies. Even people who have been vaccinated in the country of origin are no exception. Dogs under three months old must be quarantined after their owners agree to enter the country. Dogs can only be vaccinated after 3 months, and they have to be isolated for 30 days after vaccination.

Prepare the following points:

1. Rabies vaccine certificate

Pets required to enter the Mainland must have been vaccinated against rabies within 1 month to 1 year before entry.

2. Health certificate

The health certificate and rabies vaccine certificate issued by the government veterinarian of the exporting country must be signed by the veterinarian and stamped by the government department. The issuance date of health certificate must be within 14 days before the employment date, so don't apply for health certificate too early, generally about 2 days in advance. In addition, the health certificate must be signed! The originals of these two certificates must be carried with you.

Otherwise, your pet will spend the night at the customs, and it will not be cleared until the customs resumes its work.
