Can I Bring My Pet to Canada?

By Jane McLean, About.com

Question: Can I Bring My Pet to Canada?
Answer: Dogs and cats that are at least three months old need signed and dated certificates from a veterinarian verifying that they have been vaccinated against rabies within the last three years. The certificate must clearly identify the animal. If your dogs or cats are less than three months old, you do not need a certificate of rabies vaccination to enter Canada. Animals must be in good health when they arrive.

See information on bringing specific animals into Canada from countries worldwide at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency website.
