Hawaii's Animal Quarantine Laws
Hawaii is a rabies free state. Hawaii's quarantine law is
designed to protect residents and pets from potentially serious
health problems associated with the presence and spread of
rabies. Success of the quarantine program is dependent on maintaining
isolation of your pet from other animals for the required quarantine
period.
Importation of dogs, cats and other
carnivores into Hawaii is governed by Chapter 4-29 of the
State of Hawaii, Department of Agriculture Administrative
Rules. This law says that these animals are required to complete
a 120-day confinement in the State Animal Quarantine Station.
If specific pre-arrival and post-arrival requirements are
met, animals may qualify for a 30-day quarantine or a new
5-day-or-less quarantine that became effective on June 30,
2003. Qualifications for
Hawaii residents with pets and reduced "re-entry" fees
became effective on February 12, 2004.
