Bringing An Animal Into Canada

All pets entering Canada must report to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and possibly the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) by way of a formal declaration transported by a live animal carrier. We can help you with all of it.

As per the CFIA website, effective September 28, 2022, importation of commercial dogs from areas at risk for rabies will no longer be allowed entry into Canada.

Testimonials

“What didn’t PCB do for us? This company went far and above the call of duty for us. Not only did they call in a driver on the weekend when they are closed to make our puppy delivery happen, they kept track and kept in touch on the phone to make sure everything went smoothly. The driver was so nice and friendly it put us at ease that our puppy was in good hands. Bottom line this would have not happened especially during covid with out them helping us out. It was a ton of leg work but was made easy with their help. Thankyou Donna and PCB so much! You made a family Christmas dream come true!”
“Thank you so very much for your care and support facilitating our recent cross-border transfer. We are eternally grateful for your collective work helping this wee international traveler/pup from her only known home in Kelowna to ours, in Anacortes, just in time to melt our hearts and upend our lives.”
