Dear PetRelocation,

Are there any health requirements other than rabies that are needed for my pets to go to Colorado?

Thanks,

Alea

Hi Alea,

Thanks for the question! When traveling with pets within the United States it's a good idea to have proof that they're up to date on all vaccines, including rabies. (This essentially comes in the form of a Veterinary Health Certificate.)

Laws do differ from state to state, so before you move it would be a good idea to double check what the rules are by calling a vet or searching online for an official government site. Especially with birds, occasional restrictions exist (sometimes temporary). What kind of bird you have also makes a big difference, so we definitely recommend contacting a licensed veterinarian in Colorado to find out what they say.

If you're traveling by air you'll face additional requirements (primarily by gathering airline-approved travel crates and obtaining the correct paperwork). Here's an overview of bird travel tips for your information.
