Essential Steps for Relocating Pets to Hawaii

• Microchip Requirement: Before any rabies vaccinations or the FAVN titer test, your pet must have an electronic microchip implanted to ensure proper identification.
• Rabies Vaccinations: Your pet must have received two rabies vaccinations, spaced at least 30 days apart. The most recent shot must have been given:
• More than 30 days before their arrival in Hawaii
• Within the vaccine's licensed booster interval as noted by the manufacturer.
• FAVN Titer Test: This test, performed at an approved lab, must show a blood result of 0.5 IU/ml or greater. The test needs to be done between 30 days and 36 months before arrival. Pets must complete a 30-day waiting period after the test to qualify for direct airport release or the 5 Day or Less Quarantine Program upon arrival.
• Parasite Control: A veterinarian must treat your pet for ticks with a long-acting tick control product within 14 days of arrival. The treatment details must be documented on the health certificate.
• Health Certificate: Issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian, this certificate must be completed within 10 days of departure and confirms your pet’s readiness for travel.
• Flea Treatment: Your pet must undergo flea treatment within 14 days of entering Hawaii, and this must be recorded on their health certificate.
