CDC Dog Import Guide

---

Our team wanted to provide a clear, high-level overview of the CDC Reservation process for dogs arriving from high-risk rabies countries for all travelers. Our goal is to help you understand every step, we're offering one comprehensive downloadable PDF that brings all requirements and timelines together in a single guide in simple terms.

This PDF outlines the full preparation timeline, including pre-requisites, what must be completed 30 days to 3 months before arrival, 15–30 days before arrival, and the final 1–15 days before your dog enters the United States. It also breaks down the reservation flow for in-cabin pets, excess-baggage pets, and dogs arriving as manifest cargo.

We strongly recommend downloading and reviewing this PDF to gain a clear understanding of the CDC Reservation process before planning your pet’s arrival at The ARK at JFK. Feel free to share this amongst your friends and across social media groups.
