Healthy Dog Importation Act amends Animal Health Protection Act to regulate dog imports.
The Healthy Dog Importation Act amends the Animal Health Protection Act to establish requirements for importing live dogs into the United States. It mandates that dogs must be in good health, identified by a permanent method, and accompanied by a certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Importers must submit electronic documentation to the Secretary, who will record and share the information with state veterinarians. The Act also sets exceptions for certain dogs, such as those imported for research or as personal pets returning to the U.S.
