Bring Pets to Maui – Your Dog or Cat
Update: August, 2018
New rules simplify the process for bring your pet to hawaii and avoid quarantine.
The Maui Humane Society has a direct release program so you can bring pets to Maui and get your dog or cat when you get off the plane. Whether you are moving to Maui permanantly or coming for a long vacation you can rest assured your pet will not have to go through quarantine.
Hawaii State law governs the importation of dogs, cats and other carnivores into Hawaii. This law states that dogs and cats meeting specific pre- and post-arrival requirements may qualify for 5-day-or-less quarantine program, which also has a provision for direct release at the airport after inspection.
Maui Humane Society is an approved veterinary service to inspect animals and bring pets to Maui at the airport for direct release.
We have compiled a list of questions and answers that should help you with the process. Please read our Quarantine FAQs as your first step in preparing to bring your animals to Maui.
Once you have read the above, send an email to our veterinarian at quarantine@mauihumanesociety.org with the required information to initiate scheduling.
