> 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

> 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
