GENERAL INFORMATION: • BORDER CROSSING: A rabies certificate is required to bring a dog into Canada and the USA. Government

regulations require a valid Rabies Certificate dated at least 30 days prior to entry into Canada. Note that border crossings now involve more thorough inspection of vehicles, dogs and papers. Proof of citizenship is required for entry into Canada and return to the USA. Please carry proof of citizenship. At the test, we can arrange for you to borrow a starter pistol as it can be a problem to bring one across the border.
