Congressman Tim Kennedy introduced the "Border-Crossing and Re-Entry for K9s Act" to ease pet travel requirements for dogs entering the U.S. from Canada.

Congressman Tim Kennedy introduced a bill, "Border-Crossing and Re-Entry for K9s Act," aiming to halt the new CDC rule on pet travel, particularly for dogs entering the U.S. from Canada. The CDC's rule requires dogs to be at least six months old, have a microchip, and possess a valid CDC dog import form for six months. The bill proposes to ease requirements for travelers from low-risk countries, allow dogs under six months to cross the border, and eliminate the CDC Dog Import Form. The Act seeks to provide relief for pet owners and expedite border processing times without compromising safeguards against dog-rabies.
