Quarantine dogs in Hawaii

Has anyone every brought their dog to Hawaii? My husband possibly going to interview for a position in Hawaii...what a move. I read that the dogs have to be quarantined. What exactly is involved in the process? How long does it last? ANy ideas?

Wish I remembered b/c we almost got stationed there 3 yrs ago, but it can be VERY bad or it can not be at all with a very minimal quarantine. It had something to do with several rounds of shots being done ...and having them to be spread apart a certain amount of months PRIOR to going to hawaii. The more you had done, the less and less quarantine.

I know that wasn't helpful. ...just that we were wiling to do it with yuki, so i know it wasn't too bad IF YOU HAD ADVANCE NOTICE/TIME before you went there.
ahhh... here's some info:

Thanks...I did get a chance to look at that website! :)
I have done it.

I'm sure the regs have eased a little even since we did it, but the bottom line then was if you get a microchip and a rabies shot 4 months before you go, then a health certificate just before you go, you will be able to avoid quarrantine.

Wanna read the story?

The incredible story of Winston

There are three sets of pics (follow the "Next Photo" links) and there are also three links on the first page to the three part story here on the forum.
My last link doesn't work anymore it seems. Anyway, I think it was the 120 day waiting period that got us since we were going to go to hawaii a lot sooner (no time to wait)

Quote:
# Two rabies vaccinations, with the last vaccination administered no more than 12 months prior to arrival if it was a one-year vaccine, or no more than 18 months prior to arrival if it was a three-year vaccine. (The two vaccinations may not be administered within 90 days of each other; and the last vaccine must be administered no less than 90 days prior to the pet's entry into the state);
# Microchip implantation for identification purposes;
# Blood serum test results with sufficient level of rabies antibodies; and
# 120-day pre-arrival waiting period between the time the lab receives the blood sample and the earliest date the pet may enter the state under the new program. The pre-arrival waiting period is necessary due to the long and variable length of rabies incubation, where the virus may hide in an animal before clinical signs of the disease become apparent. There is no test that can determine if an animal is carrying the rabies virus other than post-mortem.
