[Travelandtourism] Taking a cruise to Alaska

[Wendy David]

Hi Cindy,
I will also be taking a cruise to Alaska in August with my Guide Dog, but on 
a different cruise line. I have never needed an International Health 
Certificate for Canada, but have been asked for proof of rabies and other 
vaccinations.  I plan to get a regular health certificate for my cruise and 
I think it will suffice. In either case, you get them from your veterinarian 
within 14 days of travel.

Have fun on your trip,
Wendy
