HR 9350 United States House · 118th Congress

Border-Crossing and Re-entry for K9s Act

This bill allows importers to bring dogs into the U.S. without rabies vaccination proof or a CDC import form under specific conditions. It applies to dogs that have not been in countries with high rabies risk for at least 180 days (for dogs over 6 months) or since birth (for puppies under 6 months), with importers confirming this requirement. The key provision removes a standard import barrier for dogs, directly affecting those transporting dogs across borders - particularly relevant for K9 units or service dogs. The rule change takes effect 90 days after the bill becomes law, managed by the CDC.
