Crossing Canadian Border
What documentation will we need to cross the Canadian border with our dog? I saw a reference to this on another thread but didn't want to hijack it. We have our passports ready but never thought about...

Dogs may enter Canada if they are accompanied by a rabies vaccination certificate.
Rabies Vaccination Certificate
The European Union pet passport is an acceptable alternative to the rabies vaccination certificate as long as all the required elements outlined below are included.
The rabies vaccination certificate must:
be written in English or French;
be issued and signed by a licensed veterinarian;
identify the animal (breed, sex, colour, and weight);
state that the animal is vaccinated against rabies;
indicate the date of vaccination;
indicate the trade name and the serial number of the licensed vaccine; and
specify the duration of immunity (otherwise, it will be considered valid for one year from the date of vaccination).
Canada does not require a microchip or tattoo identification for pet dogs.
