[Travelandtourism] Taking a cruise to Alaska

[ShilohsTravel]

Cindy:

Here's the latest info I have on entering and exiting Canada using a guide 
dog.

Special purpose dogs
Assistance dogs that are certified as a guide, hearing or other service dog 
are not subject to any restrictions for importation where the person 
importing the dog is the user of the dog and accompanies the dog to Canada

Any other dogs will need the International certificate however.  And the 
international certificate is issued by your local vet.
Hope this helps!

----- Original Message ----- I have a couple questions for anyone on the 
list who might be familiar with
regulations, now.

My husband and I have taken two previous cruises to Alaska.  This time, in
August, we're going with a group on Carnival.  My husband has a guide dog.
Carnival asks for health information and a certificate indicating Ralph,
(the dog) has had all his vaccinations.  But, our travel agent said we also
need an International Health certificate for Ralph.  We are flying from
Washington, DC, to Seattle, and then, from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska.
Coming back, we'll be going through Vancouver, BC.  We've never needed an
international health certificate, before, when going through Canada...just
the vaccination certificate.  So, is this something new?  Do we get the
international health certificate from the vet, or somewhere else?
