What about birds kept in cages on the boat? ( have a parrot)

Friends that have a large bird (2 sets of friends - two different
birds) have gone to the Bahamas. In one case, the bird has a chip,
and has to have a visit by someone who can read the chip before they
leave and after they get back, and then again after they get back 10
days later to be sure the bird is still healthy. IIRC.

There was an article in SSCA on the topic a couple of years ago.

SIX MONTHS? Does that mean you can't see your dog for 6 months?

Actually I think you can visit.

Correct, and the quarantine kennel charges will probably
bust you in the meanwhile. You may find it hard to pay
the kennel charges while you are in jail. In many countries
a prison sentence is mandatory for illegally importing
an animal.

It is FAR cheaper to leave your dog in kennels at home.
The last time I checked the quarantine charges were
roughly 10 times the going rate for holiday kennels.

Please leave the mutt behind, we do not want your
diseases, especially rabies and toxicara canis which are
often fatal to both children and vulnerable adults.
