Hawaii Pet Quarantine, Travel, & Transport Requirements

Hawaii has strict regulations when it comes to pet travel, designed to protect the state’s unique ecosystem and prevent the introduction of harmful diseases. To ensure your pet’s safe and smooth entry, it’s important to follow all travel, quarantine, and health requirements. By adhering to these regulations, you’ll ensure your pet’s safe and legal entry into Hawaii. Our team will guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing any stress for both you and your furry companion. Here’s what you need to know:

Pre-Travel Health Requirements

Before traveling, your pet must meet specific vaccination and health certification requirements. Hawaii mandates a rabies vaccination and may require other vaccinations depending on your pet’s breed. You’ll also need to provide a valid health certificate from your vet, confirming your pet’s overall health and fitness for travel.

Import Permit

An import permit from the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) is required for pets traveling to Hawaii. This permit allows us to prearrange your pet’s entry into the state. We will assist with obtaining this permit and ensuring all necessary documentation is in place for a smooth process.

Quarantine Requirements

Most pets traveling to Hawaii must undergo a quarantine period upon arrival. The duration of quarantine varies depending on your pet’s health documentation and the timeliness of the paperwork. In some cases, pets may qualify for the “Direct Airport Release” program if all health requirements are met prior to arrival. We’ll help determine your pet’s eligibility and guide you through the entire quarantine process.

Travel Arrangements

Hawaii requires pets to be transported via airline cargo, with proper care and safety measures in place during the flight. Our team ensures your pet’s travel is booked with reputable airlines that prioritize pet safety. We handle all details, including the appropriate flight schedule and transport conditions to ensure your pet’s comfort throughout the journey.

Arrival & Post-Arrival Process

Upon arrival, pets are either released directly from the airport or transported to a quarantine facility, depending on their health documentation. Our team manages all customs procedures and quarantine arrangements. Once your pet completes any necessary quarantine, we can arrange delivery to your home or a local trusted facility.
