Transport of dogs to/from the USA

The rules for transporting dogs to the United States have changed as of August 1, 2024. To transport your dog to the USA, please familiarize yourself with the new regulations introduced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Read the requirements introduced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

Send the documents, depending on the category established by the CDC, to us no later than 48 hours before departure. They are also required to be presented at the airport before the flight.

All dogs being transported to the United States must:

  • show no signs of illness,
  • be at least 6 months old,
  • have a microchip,
  • have proof of the necessary rabies vaccinations.

ATTENTION! The purchase of a dog transportation service to the United States is available no later than 48 hours before the flight, so we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible. The service is limited, and LOT Polish Airlines does not guarantee the availability of the service on every flight.

    How to quickly get approval to transport your dog? Here are a few tips!

    •  Submit all the required documents in a single form. Don’t attach any documents that aren't listed on our website. For example, there's no need to send pictures of your dog.
    • If we inform you about missing documents, resubmit all the files through the form and complete any missing information.
    • If you're registering two dogs under the same reservation, submit all the documents in one form.
    • Don’t send the CDC Dog Import Form receipt as a text file (.doc) – we need it in PDF or image format. Make sure that all the information on the CDC Dog Import Form receipt is visible, and don’t leave anything out.
    • Carefully check the list of required documents and ensure nothing is missing. Only complete document submissions will be verified.
    • Fill out the forms and documents accurately – use the same information consistently (e.g., your dog’s microchip number, weight, arrival date in the US, reservation number, and age).
    • Before filling out the form, double-check the container dimensions. If the dimensions are incorrect, your request will be rejected.
    • If your CDC Dog Import Form confirmation shows that your dog has been in high-risk countries, be sure to send the required documents listed in the confirmation. They are necessary for verification, and without them, we won’t be able to accept your pet.
