New Ruling By US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Effective August 1, 2024
In today’s edition of the Federal Register, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published its newly finalized rule on the importation of dogs. The 123-page rule, which will become effective on August 1, 2024, is available at https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-05-13/pdf/2024-09676.pdf.
Last week, AKC published this post that alerted dog owners with a summary of the impending changes, which were reported in a letter from CDC to stakeholders.
The American Kennel Club’s Government Relations Department (AKC GR) has begun analyzing the new rule and will provide a summary of the requirements for owners and dogs once the analysis has been completed.
