Embargo of Brachycephalic dog breed as Cargo on all PAL Flights.
Brachycephalic describes any animal with flat snout and whose lower jaw sticks out disproportionately longer than its upper jaw. Because of these features, brachycephalic or snub-nosed dogs tend to suffer from certain health problems. Breathing normally is commonly a struggle for these dogs. Their shortened and narrow airways result in labored breathing as they continually struggle to cope with lack of oxygen in their bloodstream making them susceptible to secondary heart problems. Because of their inability to regulate their body temperature through panting (as most dogs do), they are more likely to suffer body overheat.
The list (including cross breeds) includes, but not limited to, the following:
Affenpinscher |
Chow Chow |
Pug (all breeds) |
Boerboel |
Dogue de Bordeaux |
Rottweiler |
Boston Terrier |
English Toy |
Shar Pei |
Boxer |
French Bulldog |
Shih Tzu |
Brussels Griffon |
Griffon Bruxellois |
Staffordshire Bull Terrier |
Bulldog |
Japanese Chin |
Tibetan spaniel |
Bullmastiff |
King Charles Spaniel |
Tosa |
Cane Corso |
Lhasa Apso |
Valley Bulldog |
Cavalier King Charles |
Mastiff (all breeds) |
Yorkshire Terrier |
Chihuahua (appleheaded) |
Pekingese |
Since these animals are susceptible to increased risk of heat stroke and breathing problems when exposed to stress or heat, all brachycephalic or mixed-breeds of snub-nosed dogs will not be accepted for transport as cargo on ALL PAL DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.
Note: This restriction does not apply to service dogs with the passenger in the cabin.
CDC TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF DOGS ENTERING THE U.S. FROM RABIES HIGH-RISK COUNTRIES
|
As of July 14, 2021, there is a temporary suspension for dogs entering the United States from high-risk countries for dog rabies. This includes dogs arriving from countries not at high risk if the dogs have been in a high-risk country in the past 6 months.
The Philippines is included in the list of high-risk for rabies. These rules apply to all dogs, including puppies, and service dogs.
UPDATE: Changes have been made to CDC’s requirements for dogs arriving in the United States that have been in high-risk countries for dog rabies in the past 6 months effective December 01, 2021. Those eligible to import a dog from a high-risk country are limited to:
Travelers that fall in one of the above categories can apply for a CDC Dog Import Permit.
Effective December 1, 2021, all dogs that have been in a high-risk country in the past 6 months may only enter the United States through an approved port of entry, which includes all 18 airports with a CDC quarantine station: Anchorage (ANC), Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), Honolulu (HNL), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), Minneapolis (MSP), New York (JFK), Newark (EWR), Philadelphia (PHL), San Francisco (SFO), San Juan (SJU), Seattle (SEA), and Washington DC (IAD).
All dogs imported into the United States must be healthy on arrival.
Dogs that have not been in a high-risk country in the past 6 months are not required by CDC to present a rabies vaccination certificate or a CDC Dog Import Permit—and can enter the United States at any port of entry but must be healthy upon arrival and vaccination against rabies is recommended.
CDC has the authority to issue a CDC Dog Import Permit for US citizens and lawful residents relocating from high-risk countries to bring their dogs into the United States. Such permits will be issued on a limited basis.
If you wish to import a dog from a high-risk country, you must request advance written approval (CDC Dog Import Permit) from CDC by emailing CDCanimalimports@cdc.gov at least 30 business days (6 weeks) before you intend to enter the United States.
