Pets (Animal Quarantine)
If you plan to bring pets to Hawaii, begin planning as soon as possible to minimize the time your pet may be required to be quarantined. Hawaii is a rabies free state. For entrance into the state, Hawaii requires a microchip, a valid rabies vaccine and a rabies antibody test (FAVN). Once the lab has received the FAVN there is a 120 day waiting period to enter the state without being placed in quarantine. Hawaii's quarantine law is designed to protect residents and pets from potentially serious health problems associated with the introduction and spread of rabies. All dogs and cats, regardless of age (puppies and kittens included) or purpose, must comply with Hawaii's dog and cat import requirements. Please check the state restrictions regarding other species of pets at the bottom of this website.
