Exhibitors planning to travel across state lines with dogs to compete in AKC-sanctioned events are strongly encouraged to carefully check and follow New World Screwworm (NWS) rules for your home state, any states you will pass through, and your destination—and also for your return trip.

What will be required depends on your specific situation. Requirements may include getting advance approval, having your dog examined by an accredited veterinarian and documented on a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), and giving parasite treatments. These rules may apply if you are traveling from or through areas with confirmed cases or higher risk—such as infested or surveillance zones, affected counties or neighboring countries, or states trying to prevent NWS from entering.

We would also recommend you check the GR’s NWS screw worm alert information page which is updated daily (or more often as needed).
