Border crossing with a pet
What do we need as far as paper work to cross the border with a dog? This would be from US to Canada and back to US. Thanks, Bob and Pat

We just crossed into the US. Never asked about pets, food, firewood (never looked in anything). It was a 2 minute crossing.
We did have our health certificates and rabies tags for our 3 Border Collies. Be prepared as you don't know what will actually happen.
UPDATE: We just crossed back into Canada at the Houlton ME / Woodstock NB crossing. CBSA officer noticed one of the 3 dogs (deeply tinted rear windows in the F150 SuperCrew) and asked if the dog had its rabbies shot. I replied that all 3 had their shots and we had their health certificates. He never asked to see them. Only thing he did check was the registration on the trailer (in case we had bought it in the USA and were trying to sneak it into Canada I guess)
Bottom line is to be prepared but don't worry about it.
