buying dog in the US
 

Guys
I live in Vancouver BC.
My partner is American so I spend alot of time in Seattle.
Question: I am buying a puppy in the USA, does anyone know if there are issues taking a puppy back across the border?
It will have all its shots, so I cannot forsee any other issues crossing by land, but any feedback appreciated.

My parents just brought their cat up to live with me in Canada (they are moving back to OZ), and had no issues. Just had all the shots up to date.
A friend out ours just adopted a dog from the USA, and had no issues.

This should be a link to the Canada Customs page about importing dogs.

Thank you.The only problem I foresee is the vet check was done 1 week ago, so it will not be within 72 hours..hummm..thats a pain! Thanks for the reply anyway

Not sure why you are worried about 72 hours if you are bringing it back yourselves. If the puppy is less than 3 months old there should be no problem. If it is over 3 months it needs a rabies certificate. As far as I know this is all.

Except you need your receipt for the seller of the dog.

Shouldn't be a problem - we bought out cat from the states and brought him over the border at Abbotsford / Huntingdon. We just had to pay tax on him and show receipts etc.
