APPLICATION FOR ENTRY PERMIT
Pets’ owners are responsible for all applicable expenses (veterinary examinations,
vaccinations, microchip implantation, hospitalization, testing, etc.).
Pet owners (or their authorized representative(s) – authorization letter must accompany
application) are responsible for submitting a completed application with a non-refundable
fee payment of $60.00 per animal permit, plus $5.00 per pet license per licensed year. Money
orders or certified checks should be made payable to “Treasurer of Guam”. Please do not
send cash. Puppies and kittens must be at least 9 weeks of age prior to any request for an
entry permit. If an animal produces a litter while in quarantine, the offspring shall remain
with the mother for the duration of her quarantine period, and additional fees may be
charged by the commercial quarantine facility.
VACCINATIONS REQUIREMENTS
All dogs and cats entering Guam are required to be vaccinated against rabies and other
common infectious diseases prior to release on Guam (this also applies to animals arriving
from exempt areas – see ‘Quarantine Exceptions’ section above). These vaccinations should
be completed prior to arrival.
A document attesting to the administering of the vaccinations must include the name
and address of the pet owner, name and description of the animal (indicating its age,
sex, breed, color, body weight, and markings), dates of vaccinations, (rabies
certificates must include: manufacturer, serial/lot number, expiration date of the
vaccine) and must be certified with the name and legible signature and address of the
veterinarian who administered the vaccinations. Please note: health certificates or other
documents cannot be substituted for the actual Rabies Vaccination Certificates.
Your pet requires a certification of current rabies vaccination with an approved
monovalent inactivated rabies vaccine administered not more than 365 days prior to
the animal’s release from quarantine on Guam (18 months if vaccinated with an
approved 3-year vaccine). Please note: do not vaccinate your pet for rabies after blood
is drawn for the FAVN test (if performed). Also, the use of a modified live rabies
vaccine is strongly discouraged and can require extended quarantine periods as long
as six months following the vaccination.
All animals must have completed at least two rabies vaccinations prior to release from
commercial quarantine.
For the other required vaccinations, the attending veterinarian must sign a letter or other
document that details the date and types of vaccinations administered.
