I am moving to Hawaii from Washington State. After having my dogs shots updated, and a microchip implanted in his chest, what else do I need to know about Hawaii's laws on bringing my dog with me, and keeping him out of qaurantine? I want to try to have everything done beforehand, to avoid a lengthy $50.00 a day quarantine. (which I've heard could be up to 4 months!) He is a 2 yr. old Toy Pom. We are Leaving in 35 days. He will be getting the implant and any shots needed, within a week. Please Help! I'm running out of time, and I'm pretty illiterate with computers. I cant even find a helpful website besides this one. Oh, my dog has not been altered if it makes any difference.
- Hawaii is a rabies-free state.
The law used to be 120 days in quarantine.
If you meet the specifications- it will be 5 days. I was reading it over and it looks like your pooch had to have a certain blood test 120 says before leaving. We have such strict laws here- and it's heart breaking for owners and pets. Do you have friend up there to watch him if you need certain tests done? Then you can have him sent over for a 5-day period.
Thank you for being a responsible pet owner and caring about your dog. Most people would leave him behind when moving here.

I hope this helps.
Welcome to paradise!

- Call the Airline you will transport the dog on. They have all the info. and they require a special kennel. The airline makes all the decisions until you get to Hawaii.
You have to have all the dog's medical records with you. You can also call Customs in Hawaii and see what they say. I am not sure but Hawaii is in the US so quarantine may not be necessary
- I don't know that they have to be fixed, though it is advisable. Also most microchippes are inplanted betweent the shoulder blades. I don't think I would differ from this unless specifically told to by a hawiian rep, do to the fact that if he is scanned they may miss it. Not sure if the scanner would go though the chest wall or not. I didn't know you could get around quarantine. I would find a number for hawaiin animal control and ask them. Hopefully they could stear you somewhere to help.
- Hawaii have very strict quarantine rules. Be prepared for a very long wait for your dog.
- *IF* this is a military move, you may be able to have an "on base" quarantine… where he simply isn't allowed off base for a certain amount of time. It should not be that severe between states, unless Hawaii is rabies-free.
looks like it will be 30 days…
- do you think in Hawaii are not animal lovers?………ya it is possible that shark eats your pet if you let him swim……

- It used to be so much harder..but now you can begin quarantine at home..
Well, I read the rest of your question..you are getting a start too late to avoid quarantine.. It would probably be cheaper for you to begin the home quarantine, and then leave her with friends or family to ship to you after the required 120 days of home quarantine..otherwise, he will have to spend that time in 'Q' over there..
Here is the site that tells all> http://www.hawaiiag.org/hdoa/ai_aqs_info…
Your vet will also know the rules, and have the forms.

- Hawai`I is rabies-free, therefore strict rules and regulations apply when pets enter the islands. Hawai`I Law states that animals are required to complete a 120-day confinement in the State Animal Quarantine Station. If specific pre-arrival and post arrival requirements are met, animals may qualify for a 30-day quarantine or a new 5-day-or-less quarantine. Fees range from approximately $175 to $1,100 and are subject to change. The Animal Quarantine Station is located on the island of O‘ahu. Neighbor Islanders must plan accordingly.

- I applaud you for taking your four legged friend with you! Many people move and find it too much trouble to go through what needs to be done to take their beloved pet with them. Perhaps contact a vet in Hawaii and ask the questions of their office, they can lead you in the right direction. Good Luck with your move!
- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I HOPE U READ UNDERSTAND ANIMALS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO PANICEIT SCARY NEW EXPERIENCE BE PREPARE OK IT SCARY ANTHING CAN HAPPEN HOPE IT BE FINE BUT U NEVER CAN TELL HOW ANIMAL GOING TO ACT OR BEHAVE… LET HOPE IT BE FINE JUST HOPE PRAY
- consult with your vet. also ask him if he knows a vet in Hawaii. Try to contact an animal shelter in Hawaii and ask your question of them. Contact the Hawaii state capital for information on importing dogs. Try using your computer….dial in Hawaii laws….bringing in pets. Try dialing in The North Shore Animal League in New York. They might be able to advise you. Good luck!
