    Following a review of existing import requirements, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is implementing changes for commercial dogs under 8 months of age that are imported for breeding and resale end uses (which includes adoption) to improve compliance with humane transport and animal health requirements.

    May 4, 2021 – Ottawa, Ontario

    Following a review of existing import requirements, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is implementing changes for commercial dogs under 8 months of age that are imported for breeding and resale end uses (which includes adoption) to improve compliance with humane transport and animal health requirements.

    This review was initiated after the inspection of an air shipment of dogs in June 2020, in which a number of dead and sick dogs were found and other non-compliance issues were identified. The on-going investigation into that incident has led CFIA to take certain enforcement actions.

    Effective May 15, 2021, these changes include:

    •Multiple entry permits will be replaced with single entry permits, and importers will have to specify the number of dogs to be imported.

    "These changes are designed to crack down on those involved in shipments of puppies that don't meet Canadian animal health and certification requirements. They provide additional tools for the CFIA to take appropriate actions against non-compliance. The new rules raise the bar on preventing potential animal abuses and make it clear that they will not be tolerated."

    – The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food

    "The Canadian Kennel Club appreciates the steps that the CFIA has taken regarding dog imports. We are pleased to work with CFIA to encourage Canadians to make informed choices about responsible dog ownership and to promote the benefits of buying a purebred dog from an accountable Canadian breeder."

    – Jeff Cornett, Executive Director, Canadian Kennel Club

    •Under the Health of Animals Act and its Regulations, the CFIA administers and enforces import requirements for all animals and animal products entering Canada, including domestic pets.

    Importers are encouraged to refer to the Notice to Industry and related documents for detailed information on the new import requirements.

  3. Before The Border: There are documents needed for importing a dog into Canada from the US. Ensure the dog has all of the necessary vaccinations. For dogs less than 8 months old: The dog will need a current Rabies Vaccination Certificate if over 3 months old. (If the dog is less than 3 months of age, it does not need a rabies vaccination.)

  4. If a dog arrives at the border and does not meet Canada's import requirements, the situation will be reviewed and a decision made regarding the animal's eligibility to enter Canada. Depending on the facts of the case and the non-compliance(s) with CFIA requirements, the animal may be ordered to be removed from Canada, fines may be applied or legal actions may be pursued.

  5. Charged for all pets arriving into Canada via air transport. Dependent on call-out time: evenings, weekends, holidays. Pet imports into Canada are duty-free.
