Bringing a dog into Canada
I recall reading somewhere to bring a dog into Canada you need a rabies cert and a current health cert valid within 30 days. So if you go to Alaska an spend any amount of time you need to have the do...

We have been taking a dog in and out of Canada since 2000. In the early years our vet told us to get the 'well certificate' but somewhere along the line the 'rules' changed and you must only show dog shots are current.
We have had problems with dog food going both ways but not that often. We have had to dump dog food going into Canada once and coming out of Canada either once or twice mainly because we did not have the original bag the dry food came in (this the was mad cow disease era).
One thing to consider is IF YOU WANT TO KENNEL THE DOG there are often kennel requirements including a fecal flotation test that many require. Over the past 14 summers we generally kennel the dog once or twice during the summer and it is usually in Alaska (for all day or overnight excursions). So we not only have records for current rabies but also kennel cough, flotation and the other 'normal' annual shots.
Happy traveling.
