CDC Revises Rules on Dog Importation Again, Effective August 1, 2024
In this 'final' rule, HHS/CDC aligns U.S. import requirements for dogs with the importation requirements of other DMRVV-free countries. The final rule requires the following for dogs entering or reentering the US from a low-risk or dog-rabies free country: a microchip that is detectable by a universal scanner, six-month minimum age requirement for admission, and completion of CDC Dog Import Form. Dogs that have been in high-risk rabies countries have additional requirements which depend on where the dog was vaccinated and include certification of rabies vaccination endorsed by a USDA accredited veterinarian. For more information on visiting high-risk countries, please see the CDC website.
VVMA Joins with UVMMC to Re-tool Dog Bite Prevention
This new toolkit was developed jointly with UVMMC and with animal shelter staff to address an increase in serious dog bites with very young children. When finalized next month, we will have a Toolkit available including social media posts, magnets, coloring books, bookmarks for recommended reading, and flyers. Here is a short video which will also be part of the toolkit. Many thanks to Dr. Lisa Nelson who provided expertise on dog behavior for this group.
