Canada will attempt to get exemption from U.S. border rules for dogs: Holland

During a press conference in Ottawa on Tuesday, Federal Health Minister Mark Holland expressed concerns about implications the CDC’s new strict requirements for dogs crossing the U.S. border will have on Canadians. Holland said his plan is to convince the U.S. health secretary to exempt Canadians from these rules, including that all dogs must be microchipped.

• Canada ‘blindsided’ by new U.S. border rules on dogs, Holland says
