[Travelandtourism] a travel question

[Wendy David]

Hi. I've been to Hawaii 4 times now with my Guide Dog.  I do not know if the
rules are the same for hearing dogs as for Guide Dogs, but here is the
information I included in my book: Sites Unseen: Traveling the World without
Sight.  it gives the website for the information you will  need.  Good luck.

If you would like to travel to Hawaii with your dog guide, remember that
travel to that state is more regulated, to prevent introduction of rabies to
the islands.  Pets and non-service animals must be quarantined upon arrival.
However, dog guides can now enter Hawaii without quarantine, but not without
advanced planning.  All dogs must enter through the Honolulu International
Airport, must be micro chipped, and benchmark tested for rabies. The State
of Hawaii Quarantine Station must receive advance notification of the dog
guide's scheduled arrival. For more information about Hawaii's guide dog
entry requirements, visit:

In the United States, Kansas State University is the authorized facility for
blood
test screening of dog guides traveling to Hawaii and internationally. For
information about their rabies titer testing services, costs, and time
constraints, go to:

Hi, all,
I have a travel question for you, on behalf of my friend Amanda Dreher who
has a hearing dog named Louie.
I was curious about what the rules are for going into Hawaii?
I remember a long time back, other dogs from the rest of the US and other
countries had to be quarranteened for up to ten days.
If someone with a guide, hearing or other assistance dog wants to go to
Hawaii with their dog, what types of documentation would be needed?
I know that there definitely needs to be a microchip as well as a health
certificate and other vaccinations too.
Would there be any other requirements?
I do remember you mentioning about planning six months in advance when
taking a cruise ship, but just don't remember the rest as my friend will be
flying to Hawaii by plane.
*Smiles and thank you*
Sincerely:
Bibi, husband Dale and Odie
medical alert service dog
the happy spirited bounty labra wolf
