Bringing your Pet to Canada

There is no quarantine period if your pet is arriving from the United States. However, all dogs and cats are legally required to have current rabies vaccination and papers when in Canada. You do not need a certificate of rabies vaccination if your pet is less than three months old. All animals must be in good health when they arrive. Always carry all your pet documents with you; including vaccination certificates, health certificates, and import certificates.

Visitors travelling with a service dog must register them in BC to enjoy access under the Guide and Service Dog Act. If you are arriving from another country, we suggest you check with the Canadian Consulate in your country for the most up-to-date information on animal quarantines.
