What do the new rules say?
The CDC announced in May that beginning Aug. 1, dog owners must complete a new form and all dogs entering the U.S. must be over six months old, have a microchip and “appear healthy upon arrival.”
Additional restrictions and requirements apply depending on where the dog was vaccinated and if the dog has recently been in one of the more than 100 countries identified as high risk for rabies. A dog might have to pass a blood test or be forced to quarantine for 28 days in a CDC-registered facility, the costs of which fall back on owners, according to the CDC’s website. It can also be difficult to provide proof of a dog’s whereabouts, especially one that was a stray.
You really shouldn’t try to fly with dogs anyway. They’re more walking-type animals. They can jump, but you’re not going to get from New York to Paris that way.
not in a single jump, no. several will be required.

That’s pretty bullshit. If they force it and the person can’t afford it, are they just going to steal the dog? If they want this to be effective at actually reducing disease, it should be provided at no cost. Even if it were free, the possibility of having your pet forced into quarantine while traveling is already a deterrent to flying with pets. Forcing the cost benefits literally no one.
You think the CDC can afford to eat that cost? Who do you think they are, part of the military? They don’t have the budget for that.

Yes. Let’s just ignore that pets can have or carry different diseases, even zoonotic ones.
I think you misunderstood me. I’m saying that people will try to justify the cost as a deterrent, and I already see the deterrent in the disease prevention process so the cost serves no purpose.
They’d just give the dog to the police so they can practice their dog shooting skills.
The problem is for people entering USA by cars, millions of canadians per year! A lot with their dogs, going camping and all. I go in the state maybe once or twice per month, I will need to fill a CDC report every time? It does not make sense.
