yep...I've wondered about that. In my mind, the whole quarantine is to deter people from bringing pets rather than making sure they don't have rabies. If their favin test levels are up to par....6 months quarantine???? Hmmmm.....so the vet doesn't...

Somewhat they do.You have to show all paperwok and then they release them to you and, out you go!They don't ask where your taking them.We really missed them while they were kenneled and it was good there as far as I saw everything was always clean...

Thanks Rea....I was hoping there was a way out of this. Shogun has pet rooms now but they are remodeling during prime PCS season. Go figure! Do the pet authorities meet you at the plane and take your animals?

I am pscing back to Okinawa (civilian DoD) and notice they have changed the regs. Previously, I could "in-house" quanantine my pets off base (Hamagawa, etc) but now it seems that it's on base only. Shogun is remodeling their pet rooms and there is...
