Flying with a dog or cat to North Dakota
North Dakota applies a rule that depends on the species or the length of stay. The detail is below.
What this state requires
Case by case
- Validity window
- Not specified by the state
The rule in detail
Does not accept the APHIS Form 7001
What the airline asks, separately
A carrier can require a document no state does. Most US airlines ask for a certificate issued within seven to ten days, whatever the state rule says. The two stack: satisfying one does not satisfy the other.
Dog breeds
North Dakota bans no breed at state level, but does not stop its municipalities from doing so either. Regulation therefore exists at city or county level, and it is the arrival address that decides — not the state, not the airport. Worth checking with the municipality before a move.
Where you come in
No airport in our catalogue serves North Dakota yet. The entry rule is still the one described above: it depends on the state, not the point of arrival.

Common questions
- Do you need a health certificate to take a dog or cat to North Dakota?
- Yes. North Dakota requires a certificate of veterinary inspection, including for personal travel with your own pet.
- Can a dog breed be refused in North Dakota?
- Not by the state, but possibly by the destination municipality: North Dakota lets its cities and counties legislate on breeds. The arrival address decides, not the airport.
