To qualify for a five-day pet quarantine, owners must prepare at least four months in
advance.
- Pets will need a microchip implanted for identification
- The pet will need a rabies shot and a booster, which can be no less than three months
apart and not more than one year apart
- Animals should have passed a blood serum test, with results e-mailed to Hawai'i officials
by the testing lab. Pets cannot enter the state until 120 days after the blood sample is
received by the state
- Hawai'i officials must receive a health certificate from the pet's veterinarian at
least 10 days before the animal's arrival, with all test results and health certificates
sent by e-mail to prevent fraud
- At the airport, animal quarantine officials will inspect every incoming pet, check
its chip to confirm its identity and release the animal to its owner if everything is in
order
- The Hawai'i Department of Agriculture has published a checklist for pet owners on the
department's Web site: www.hawaiiag.org/hdoa
