Approved Rabies Serology Laboratories for Testing Dogs
Important testing information for importing dogs into the United States:
- Rabies Serology Test results must be in English or accompanied by a certified translation.
- Serology results must be drawn a minimum of 30 days after the dog’s initial vaccination and at least 45 days before the date of importation.
- Test results are valid for 1 year.
- Serology test results are only required for dogs with a rabies vaccination certificate from a foreign country who must have a CDC Dog Import Permit to enter the United States from a high-risk country for rabies.
- Dogs over 6 months of age with valid US-issued rabies vaccination certificate and proof of microchip are exempt from the suspension—they can enter the United States without a permit. Expired US rabies vaccination certificates will not be accepted. If the US-issued rabies vaccination certificate has expired, you must apply for a CDC Dog Import Permit.
If you are applying for a CDC Dog Import Permit, provide rabies serology test results from one of these laboratories:
