Dear Pet Owners,
Are you planning to bring your furry friend to Hawaii? Whether you're relocating or just visiting, it's important to be aware of the requirements for bringing pets into the state. Hawaii's unique ecosystem is fragile, so the Department of Agriculture has strict guidelines to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases. Here's a checklist to help you prepare for Direct Airport Release (DAR) or the 5 Day Or Less Program:
Step 1: Planning
Step 2: Microchip
Step 3: Rabies Vaccinations
Step 4: Submitting Documents
Step 5: Waiting Period
Step 6: Other
For more detailed information and additional forms, visit the Hawaii Department of Agriculture's Animal Quarantine Information Page at hdoa.hawaii.gov/ai/aqs-info. Remember, failure to comply with these requirements may result in quarantine for your pet, so make sure to plan ahead and follow the checklist carefully.
We hope this information helps you prepare for a smooth and stress-free arrival for your beloved pet in Hawaii!
