What I have to do if I want to import a dog from Puerto Rico to USA?

Puerto Rico is a USA territory, but it's in the Caribbean. Nobody is traveling with the dog.
Answers:
You can call a local veterinarian and they should be able to either tell you or find out for you. As stated by "LY K" this dog will need a health certificate from a veterinarian. If the dog is 12 weeks or older, it will need to have a Rabies vax. It will also need to be up to date on all the other vax. Most of the time, you just need recors of vax, health certificate, plane ticket, %26 crate for the dog.

Good luck!

That is tough, I am sure there would a quarantine period, but check with the airline you will be using.

Check with the us government travel webpage it may give you information on importing pets. You will need to have the animal immunized for Rabies for sure and probably will need a health certificate from a veterinarian.
Good luck!

You would have to speak with customs. There is a possibility of the dog being quarantined for six months but there are other alternatives. Customs will give you a list of vaccinations and test that need to be ran in order to avoid quarantining. Most likely the dog is just going to need to be checked out by a vet and given any booster shots it has not received yet. Talk to your vet and they will probably have a direct number for you to call considering this is a fairly common occurrence.

Suggest you check with Delta or Continental airlines,and if witnin U.S. don't think the pet would have to be quarentined.Look in phone directory for 800 #s to both.Just be careful of Scams out of U.S.,as you may loose the money you paid for the pet.Most scams orginate out of U.S.
