Gary-
I was asking about both directions, because I won't be leaving my dog in Canada.

Our dog goes back and forth on a regular basis. Maybe it's because they see us quite often but once every ten times or so, one side or the other may ask if we have a rabies certificate. Once every twenty times or so, they might actually ask to see it. We keep a photo copy in the glove box of each vehicle so we don't get caught out if they ask.

Kopit,
Where in the quote does it mention anything about a signed health certificate within 30 days of travel. I think it is only for animals less than 3 months old.

Read the words carefully, it's not spelled out. & as I said my former vet recommended this. I've moved provinces so, I will be dealing with someone else from now on.
The signed certificate carries some evidence of care for you pet and confirmation that he/she was in good health on said date.
& I, I took the road less travelled by.

I have taken my dog to Canada. As I recall I took him to the Vet and made sure he had all his shots up to date and preferably a health certificate. I had no problem going into Canada and less problem coming back to the US. I get the impression that your somewhat at the mercy of the particular agent you talk to. Just make sure you can get all the documentation you might need before hand. You might check what vaccination's are required in the part of Canada you are traveling in. As a side note the Canadians won't allow hand guns or even pepper spray to cross the border.

Yesterday my vet researched the requirements and even called the appropriate office in Canada, because she wasn't sure what was required when we asked her. I just this morning picked up two certified certificates signed by the vet on their letterhead with all of our dog and cat's shot records and other information showing them to be in good health. She also told me that she found out that the certificate has to be dated with 30 days of our arrival into Canada. I don't whose office she contacted, but that is what she found out.

Little Kopit used to say that a "health certificate" was required and "they can ask for it"--as relating to Canadian Customs.
Now she says her vet recommends it. That is fine. My vet recommends Authority. But neither is required to get into Canada.
Little Kopit can not provide any official info from Canadian Customs that a "heath certificate" is required. It's not.
Nor can she provide any info about anyone being denied entry into Canda simply because of the lack of a "health certificate".
She is right about the dog needing to appear healthy. If you show up with a dog that appears to be not healthly, it can be referred to a vet. And it doesn't matter if you have a "health certificate" dated in the last 30 days. They are concerned about the health of the pet today, not in the past.
If you want to spend the time and money for a health certificate thats fine. But it's not required.
The only thing "required" is a rabies certificate. And most likely you won't be asked for it.

Sorry, Luke I don't think we speak the same language.
I have never understood this pick, pick, pick over what is just a little bit more care.
Why do you want to imply, I repeat imply, don't bother, don't bother, don't bother forever and a day?
Do you have a pet? Don't you care about your pet? The implication I get is either: a) pet doesn't matter, or b) you don't have to follow the spirit of the regulations/law.
