🐾 Traveling with Pets from BUF to Canada: Vaccines, Papers & Taxi Comfort Tips

Flying into Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and planning to bring your dog or cat across the border to Canada? 🐶🐱 Many travelers don’t realize that crossing with pets involves more than just booking a ride — you need the right vaccines, paperwork, and comfort setup to avoid border delays.

This guide explains everything you need to know, from official entry requirements to how BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi supports pet-friendly trips.

1. Border Basics: What Canada Requires for Pets

Before you book your taxi, make sure your pet meets Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) rules:

• Rabies vaccination certificate (for dogs and cats over 3 months).

  • Must show vaccine type, manufacturer, and date.

  • Handwritten notes aren’t accepted — it must be an official certificate.

• Proof of age if your puppy/kitten is under 3 months (rabies exemption applies).

• Microchip or tattoo (not mandatory, but recommended for identification).

• Health certificate (not always required, but helpful for smoother entry).

📌 For the latest details, check the official Government of Canada pet import requirements.
