Vacationers wishing to bring pets must have them microchipped or tattooed and have official proof of vaccinations and health certificates. One must be an International Health Certificate and properly endorsed by the Government Authority of the country of export.

Each family is limited to three animals, only one of which can be a puppy or a kitten (under 6 months of age)

Dogs and cats are admitted upon presentation at the port of entry of a rabies vaccination certificate, signed by a licensed veterinarian and valid in the United States

If the animal has never undergone a rabies vaccination or if the last date for the rabies booster has been passed beyond, it is mandatory to vaccinate or re-vaccinate the animal not less than 30 days before departure. The rabies vaccination of a young animal before 3 months of age is not recognized as valid.
