process of getting a dog back to usa?

[keieth]

Help please, I am applying for rentista status and due to my current situation for the next 2 years I will be in CR for 6 months per year and then will have to be back in USA for the other 6 months of the year.

Does anyone have experience bringing a dog ( mine is a wiemeraner) back in to the USA?

Is it a huge mess? is this possible without having my dog sit in some kind of customs delay for days?

Any advice or links to information related to this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks have a great day,

keith and angela

Please talk directly with a professional veterinarian about this, the welfare of your dog depends on it:

You can see Dr. Molina’s telephone number in the article here

I believe that it’s much easier to bring a dog here than take one back to the USA but PLEASE don’t listen to our opinions – Talk to the veterinarian for the up to date facts.

You should also consult the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service about the legal and procedural requirements for importing your dog into the U.S. which is what you will be doing.

In each U.S. state, there is a chief U.S.D.A. veterinarian (the “Veterinary Service”) located in each state capitol. These are the folks who must endorse your International Health Certificate to enable you to bring your dog to Costa Rica and they are the ones or know the ones who will govern bringing him or her back into the U.S.

Getting dogs in the USA has never been a problem. There are very few if any restrictions. Check it out, I think you’ll find that it isn’t a big deal.
