Your dog dioes not have to be qurrantined t all if you take care of all the prerequisites several months in advnce before yo plan on arriving.
Get the rabies shots needed and hralth exam, microchip, blood test which is sent to a lab in Kansas. These all have to be done within a certain time to be eligible to just take your dog from irport. There is an early release fee involved too from holding are if ll paperwork is recieved by them just pay another 150 bucks or so. Its veryy involved. The process is also very hard on the pet too trust me. Grueling in fact. Do not sedate your dog or pet it only confuses anilam more makes it harder for them to cope. If its a dog you can give a benadryl tablet 45 minutes before arriving t airport this helps relax dog abit.

Thanks, that's what i figured, the most important thing for me is not to put it too hard on the doggie.
