General Checklist...Pets will need their rabies shots and a blood sample for a titer test prior to arriving to Hawai’i.
Prior to arrival into Hawai’i: A puppy or kitten receiving its first rabies shot at 3-4 months of age, waited 31 days from the first shot, a 2nd rabies shot is administered before it is due, working out to 31 days between the two shots, submit a blood sample for FAVN testing, between the two shots and HOPE a passing result is achieved. The FAVN test can be submitted between the two rabies shots, but the possibility of failing is greater with only one rabies shot received. Complete a waiting time of 30 days after blood is submitted to the testing lab and/or rabies shot depending on which procedure was completed last. Submit all supporting, original documents meeting the requirements and program fee to Oahu’s main office, more than 10- days before arriving in Honolulu, Oah’u From the State of Hawaii Animal Quarantine Division...How do I qualify my dog or cat for the 5 Day or Less quarantine?
