1. What Is The Entry Permit And Why Do I Need It To Travel To Guam?
An entry permit is a mandatory document required by the Guam Department of Agriculture for all live animals entering Guam, regardless of their origin or health status. This permit ensures that all animals meet Guam’s strict quarantine regulations, which are designed to protect the island’s rabies-free status. Failing to obtain a valid entry permit can result in significant consequences, including the pet being placed in a 120-day commercial quarantine at the owner’s expense or even returned to its origin. The application process involves submitting a completed form along with a non-refundable fee of $60.00 per animal and $5.00 per pet license per licensed year, payable to the “Treasurer of Guam.” According to Title 10 Guam Code Annotated Chapter 34 Article 3, this law governs the importation of dogs, cats, and other carnivores into Guam, emphasizing the importance of adhering to these regulations.
2. How Do I Apply For An Entry Permit To Guam?
To apply for an entry permit, follow these steps:

-
Gather Required Documents: Include copies of your pet’s rabies vaccination certificate, health certificate, microchip information, and any other documents required based on your pet’s origin and quarantine program eligibility.
-
Submit the Application: Send the completed application form, along with all necessary documents, to the Guam Department of Agriculture. You can submit these via fax, email, or postal mail.

-
Allow Review Time: Submit your application well in advance of your travel date, ideally 2-3 months prior to arrival, to allow ample time for review.
-
Keep Copies: Retain copies of all submitted documents for your records and to present upon arrival in Guam.
3. What Vaccinations And Health Certificates Are Required For My Pet?
3.1. Rabies Vaccinations
Certification of current rabies vaccination with an approved monovalent inactivated rabies vaccine is required. The vaccination must be administered:
- Not more than 365 days prior to the animal’s release from quarantine on Guam, or
- Not more than 36 months if vaccinated with an approved 3-year vaccine.
Do not vaccinate your pet for rabies after blood is drawn for the Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization (FAVN) test, if performed. The use of a modified live rabies vaccine is strongly discouraged and can result in extended quarantine periods. Each pet must have completed at least two rabies vaccinations in its life prior to release from commercial quarantine, and the most recent rabies vaccination must still be current.
According to the Guam Department of Agriculture, the rabies certificates must include the manufacturer, serial/lot number, discard and expiration (duration) dates of the vaccine. Health Certificates or other documents cannot be substituted for the actual Rabies Vaccination Certificates (copies are acceptable).
3.2. Other Dog Vaccinations
Dogs must be vaccinated not less than 10 days before departure, and the vaccination must still be current on arrival against:
- Canine Distemper Virus
- Canine Infectious Hepatitis Virus or Canine Adenovirus-2
- Canine Leptospirosis
- Canine Parainfluenza
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Bordatella bronchiseptica (kennel cough)
3.3. Other Cat Vaccinations
Cats must be vaccinated not less than 10 days before departure, and the vaccination must still be current on arrival against:
- Feline Panleukopenia Virus (feline viral enteritis)
- Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (feline herpesvirus-1)
- Feline Calicivirus
3.4. Health Certificate
A health certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian within 10 days prior to arrival is required. The health certificate must be written in English and be an original document (facsimile or photocopy will be accepted for processing, but the original document shall accompany the animal). The health certificate must bear an original or stamped signature with the legible name, address, and telephone number of the certifying veterinarian.
The health certificate must contain all of the following information:
- A complete description of the animal, including age, markings, sex, breed, body weight, and any additional identifying characteristics. “Mixed” or similar wording is not acceptable for breed. Please indicate the nearest approximate breed.
- Veterinarian’s statement certifying that the animal has been treated to remove internal (helminths and heartworms) and external parasites (fleas and ticks) within 14 days of arrival on Guam.
- The date of any parasite treatment.
- The name of the product(s) used and how applied.
- Certification that the animal is free of any evidence of infectious or contagious disease (to include heartworm testing/treatment information).
- Certification by the issuing veterinarian to the accuracy of the information stated on the health certificate.
- The microchip number and the date of implantation (not required for 120-day Commercial Quarantine).
- The name, serial or lot number, expiration date of the lot, and date of rabies vaccination must appear on the health certificate.
These comprehensive vaccination and health certificate requirements are essential for ensuring your pet’s health and compliance with Guam’s regulations.
4. What Is The OIE-FAVN Test And Is It Necessary?
The OIE-Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization (FAVN) test, also known as the Rabies Antibody Test, is a blood test that determines if dogs and cats have responded adequately to the rabies vaccination. This test measures the level of rabies antibodies in your pet’s blood, indicating whether the vaccination has provided sufficient immunity.
4.1. Necessity of the OIE-FAVN Test
The OIE-FAVN test is crucial for qualifying for quarantine programs shorter than the full 120-day commercial quarantine. Specifically:
- Calculated Quarantine: If your pet has a rabies FAVN titer of at least 0.5 I.U. to 0.99 I.U., they may qualify for a calculated quarantine, where the time spent in commercial quarantine is reduced based on how long it has been since the blood sample reached the laboratory.
- Five (5) Days or Less with Home Quarantine: If the FAVN titer meets or exceeds 1.0 I.U., after five days or less of commercial quarantine, the pet can be transferred to home quarantine for the remainder of the 120 days.
If you do not conduct the OIE-FAVN test, your pet will be subject to the full 120-day commercial quarantine.
4.2. Requirements for the OIE-FAVN Test
-
Timing: The OIE-FAVN test must be conducted no more than 12 months prior to arrival in Guam. When updating rabies vaccinations prior to conducting the FAVN testing, wait at least 10 days before drawing the blood sample to allow the pet to respond to the vaccine. Do not administer further rabies vaccinations after the blood is drawn for the FAVN test.
-
Microchip: The pet must have an implanted electronic microchip (U.S. made and readable with an AVID universal scanner). The microchip number must be recorded on the serum sample and included in the test results.
-
Laboratories: The testing laboratory must submit the test results directly to the Animal Quarantine Program at the Department of Agriculture. Ensure the laboratory you choose is willing to comply with this requirement.
- Authorized Laboratories:
- The Rabies Laboratory, Kansas State University
- Research Institute for Animal Science & Biochemistry & Toxicology (Japan)
- All laboratories listed on the EU DEFRA website
- Food Analysis & Diagnostic Laboratory (for Military Personnel Only)
- Authorized Laboratories:
-
Test Results: To be considered valid, the test results must include the number of the implanted microchip and a complete description of the animal (sex, breed, age, color, etc.).
4.3. Importance of Meeting Requirements
Failure to meet these requirements can result in the full 120-day commercial quarantine. Ensure all documentation is correct and complete to avoid complications.
5. How Do Quarantine Requirements Vary Based On My Pet’s Origin?
Quarantine requirements for pets entering Guam vary significantly based on the pet’s origin, with different programs and protocols in place to manage the risk of rabies introduction.
5.1. Full 120-Day Commercial Quarantine
If your pet is not arriving from an exempt country or area and fails to meet the requirements for shorter quarantine programs, they will have to complete a full 120-day commercial quarantine on Guam. This is the default option if pre-arrival requirements are not met.
5.2. Calculated Quarantine
This option is available if your pet has completed all the necessary requirements and has a rabies FAVN titer of at least 0.5 I.U to 0.99 I.U. In this case, your pet will spend only as many days in commercial quarantine as required to reach 120 total days since the FAVN blood sample reached the laboratory.
5.3. Five (5) Days or Less with Home Quarantine
This option is available for animals originating in the mainland United States for 120 days or more and military personnel located on military installations. The pet must have a FAVN titer that meets or exceeds 1.0 I.U. After five days or less of commercial quarantine, the pet can be transferred to home quarantine for the remainder of the 120 days. Supporting documents, such as proof of origin and military status, must be submitted for review.
5.4. Exempt From Quarantine
If your pet is coming from an “exempt” country or area, such as Japan or Hawaii, and has been there for at least 120 days, there is typically no commercial quarantine required on Guam. However, pre-arrival requirements must be completed, and you must contact Guam Customs and Quarantine to schedule clearance at the port of entry.
5.4.1. Exempt Areas
Animals originating from the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii on direct flights to Guam may be exempt from quarantine requirements after meeting shipping and veterinary examination requirements.
5.5. Arrivals from Saipan, Rota, Tinian
Pets arriving from these islands are treated the same as those arriving from the mainland United States. However, obtaining a health certificate prior to travel may not be possible. If Guam is the final destination, the health status can be certified by the quarantine veterinarian on Guam, but only if no licensed veterinarian is available at the origin.
5.6. Pets Transitting Guam
Pets transiting Guam need to obtain a Transit Permit from the Guam Department of Agriculture. While there is no charge for this permit, failing to obtain one can result in an expensive quarantine stay.
Understanding these different quarantine programs based on your pet’s origin is crucial for planning your trip and ensuring compliance with Guam’s regulations.
6. What Are The Approved Quarantine Facilities In Guam?
If your pet requires quarantine upon arrival in Guam, it is essential to make a reservation at one of the government-approved quarantine facilities. Here are the approved facilities:
- Harper Valley Kennels

- Direct Contact: Pet owners are responsible for contacting the facility directly to inquire about kennel reservations and rates.
- Military Personnel: Andersen Animal Quarantine & Kennel Facility caters exclusively to military personnel and their dependents.
- Post-Arrival Examination: After arrival, your pet will be transported directly to the quarantine facility for a post-arrival examination by the quarantine veterinarian. This examination is crucial for determining the animal’s early release or continued quarantine status.
6.2. Facility Responsibilities
The licensed commercial kennel quarantine facility will pick up your pet from the airport upon arrival. The quarantine veterinarian will conduct a post-arrival examination and verify your pet’s microchip to determine release eligibility.
Ensuring a confirmed reservation at an approved quarantine facility is a critical step in the pre-arrival process for pets requiring quarantine in Guam.
7. What Post-Arrival Procedures Should I Expect?
Upon your pet’s arrival in Guam, several post-arrival procedures must be followed to ensure compliance with quarantine regulations.
7.1. Transportation to Quarantine Facility
Animals originating from non-exempt areas must be transported directly to a commercial quarantine facility. The quarantine veterinarian will conduct a post-arrival examination to determine if the animal is healthy and meets the requirements for early release or continued quarantine.
7.2. Post-Arrival Health Examination
Any dog or cat eligible for less than 120 days of quarantine must undergo a post-arrival examination by the quarantine veterinarian at the commercial quarantine facility. This examination must also be completed for all dogs and cats arriving from exempt areas within 72 hours of arrival.
7.3. Examination Requirements
The veterinarian will verify the health of the dog or cat and provide recommendations for their early release or continued quarantine status. The examination certificate, along with the attending veterinarian’s recommendation, must be submitted to the Department of Agriculture before any dog or cat can be approved for release.
7.4. Certificate of Completion
A certificate of completion must be obtained from the Department of Agriculture before the pet can be released from quarantine.
7.5. Health Anomalies
If the quarantine veterinarian observes any signs of illness or disease during the post-arrival examination, the animal may be quarantined for observation. Animals eligible for Calculated or Home Quarantines held due to health anomalies must be cleared for release by the Territorial Veterinarian.
7.6. Responsibilities of the Owner/Agent
The owner or agent is responsible for:
- Making contact with the quarantine facility.
- Ensuring the post-arrival examination is completed.
- Obtaining a copy of the release from the Department of Agriculture.
- Obtaining a pet license.
7.7. Compliance and Consequences
Failure to comply with these post-arrival requirements can result in the full 120-day quarantine at the owner’s expense. No animal can be sold until this examination and any required treatments have been completed.
By following these post-arrival procedures, you can ensure a smooth transition for your pet and compliance with Guam’s quarantine regulations.
8. Can Service Animals Be Exempted From Quarantine?
Service animals, working animals, emotional support animals, and military working animals are required to obtain an entry permit prior to traveling to Guam. Guam maintains a rabies-free status, and all animals must meet the stringent entry requirements. There are no exceptions to this rule.
8.1. Entry Permit Requirement
All service animals must have a valid entry permit before arriving in Guam. Failure to obtain an entry permit can result in significant difficulties and increased expenses for both the owner and the animal.
8.2. Quarantine Regulations
Quarantine regulations may require an owner to be separated from an emotional support animal, which should be considered before planning travel to Guam with such an animal. Quarantine times vary, and animals may be subjected to extended commercial quarantine pending post-arrival inspection.
8.3. Meeting Guam’s Requirements
Regardless of the animal’s purpose or health status, all dogs and cats must comply with Guam’s quarantine law. This includes vaccinations, microchipping, and potentially quarantine, depending on the animal’s origin and health documentation.
8.4. Contacting the Department of Agriculture
For specific guidance and to ensure compliance, users of service dogs belonging to a Federal or State Government Agency, and certified guide dogs should contact the Guam Department of Agriculture.
While service animals provide essential support, it’s crucial to recognize that Guam’s strict quarantine regulations apply to all animals entering the island. Planning ahead and ensuring all requirements are met is essential for a smooth travel experience.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Travel Documents to Guam
1. When and how should I send in my documents to the Guam Department of Agriculture?
You should send in your documents as soon as possible for review, preferably 2-3 months prior to arriving. Allow ample time for the review process. Documents may be sent by fax, email, or snail mail.
2. How do I send in my payment for the entry permit?
Payments may be sent by cashier’s check or money order made out to the Treasurer of Guam. You may send the payments by FEDEX or USPS. Note that payments are NON-REFUNDABLE.
3. Can I get an exception to the rules and regulations explained in the Guam pet import brochure?
No, most of these procedures and policies are based on explicit Guam law, and there are no exceptions granted.
4. What happens if my pet arrives on Guam without a valid entry permit?
The pet will be placed in a 120-day commercial quarantine at the owner’s expense or returned to the origin at the owner’s expense. Additionally, the transporter is subject to a fine for each pet, not less than $500 nor more than $1,000.
5. Why are the entry requirements different for a pet from another country compared to arrival from America?
Different countries have significant differences in the incidence of rabies, the types of vaccines used, and many other parameters. The quarantine laws of Guam are designed to protect the rabies-free status of Guam. Countries other than the United States and Exempted Areas would fall under the Calculated Quarantine or the 120-day Program.
6. What is the fastest way to get a puppy or kitten home on Guam?
A puppy or kitten could arrive from an exempted area like Hawaii or Australia at 9 weeks of age. If the pet arrives from America or a non-exempt country, the pet would be at least 5 months of age before it could be released into home quarantine on Guam. If the origin is an exempt area, the date of birth must be on all documents.
7. What if my pet becomes ill while in commercial quarantine?
After obtaining permission from Agriculture, the pet can be removed by the quarantine veterinarian for treatment in an isolated area of the clinic operated by the quarantine veterinarian.
8. What is the difference between the Calculated Quarantine and the Home Quarantine?
The Calculated Quarantine allows the animal to complete the FAVN testing and spend only the remaining days in commercial quarantine on Guam. The Home Quarantine applies only to pets originating in the United States or US military installations and requires the pet to remain in a strictly enforced home quarantine on Guam for the days remaining to complete the 120 days. The Home Quarantine also requires a titer that is twice as high as the minimum required for the Calculated Quarantine.
9. Can you provide a short summary of how the whole process works?
Take this brochure to your veterinarian and go through it together. Make sure that your pet has two rabies vaccination certificates (if arriving from a non-exempt area) that follow the Guam Department of Agriculture’s (DAG) requirements. If it is the initial rabies vaccination at 12 weeks, wait 30 days to get another rabies vaccination, and then wait 10 days to do the FAVN. Email rabies vaccination certificates, current immunizations, and request an entry permit. You will receive additional instructions. Once you get clearance, make flight and kennel reservations and forward that information to the Department of Agriculture. When your flight and kennel reservations have been made, you can obtain and send to (DAG) a copy of the health certificate. (DAG) will then send by email, an Animal Entry Permit(s) that you will attach to the kennel(s). Check with your airline on the requirements. When your pet arrives on Guam from a non-exempt area, the licensed commercial kennel quarantine facility that you have registered with will pick your pet up from the airport. The quarantine veterinarian will administer a post-arrival examination and verify the microchip of your pet to determine release. The owner or the agent has the responsibility of making contact with the quarantine facility. When the pet has cleared post-arrival examination, the owner/agent would proceed to (DAG) to obtain a copy of the release and obtain a pet license.
10. What if my pet uses United Airlines to travel to Guam?
If your pet uses United Airlines to travel to Guam, you will be required to use an IPATA pet transporting company.
These FAQs aim to provide clarity and address common concerns regarding pet travel documents to Guam.
