The best, most informative video I've seen yet on importing your pets to Hawaii!! Thank you guys so much!! Also, loved the pictures. You are a beautiful family 🤗
This video saved my sanity. Moving with the Army is hard enough with all I have to do, but this added a new level of stress. You simplified the sites information very nicely tysm! I'm starting this today, hopefully covid doesn't slow this down too much.
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide haha yess! Appreciate it ❤ 2 dogs and 1 cat to big island Hilo side down in kalapana.. eventually. Hopefully before spring of '22. Would love to have you guys over sometime. We can go up to the bird paradise coffee farms or up to maku'u Sunday markets xP zipp lining anyone? Have a good day!
I love how much you guys love your dog! The fact that she was a rescue, and she fits into your family perfectly. It was meant to be! It looks like her eyes are starting to go. Have you ever looked into whether or not the Maui sun has any effect? Maybe she could get some Hattie sunglasses :-)
She is one of a kind. She had her vet check-up a couple weeks ago, for her airline health certificate, and the vet didn't say anything about her eyes. We will ask next time we see the vet. Thanks for looking out for her!

Great video! Very helpful. Also thanks for mentioning your video on moving to Hawaii at the end of this one. I’ll be sure to check it out. Our family is moving to Oahu this summer. We are all excited. Can’t wait!!
Hi! This video was heart warming and extremely helpful! Love your pup and your family! I wish you all the best health and happy adventures life has to offer! Count me in as a new subscriber! 🌺🐕❤️🌞🐚🌈🌊
Very helpful guys thank you I’m planning to move in September we started with the all process already and having on my mind the I will be bringing a dog and a cat 😂😂😂double the effort and of course the money but is worth pets are part of your family I will be devastated leaving them behind. One thing that you skip well maybe in England is different but here in the USA they also require the thick and fleas medicine in a period of 10 days before you fly there. I’m going to Maui too 😃maybe one day we see each other. Again thank you you are both amazing. 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🙏
we are glad it helps. Make sure to download the checklist offered by the state. It is helpful (for the most part). Best of luck with getting your pet over here. We just brought Hattie home with us to Maui via Honolulu. The agriculture workers where well organized and super friendly. It 30-minutes to get her examined and released for inter-island travel.
We started the process in 2018 with Akona pet services and plan on moving to Kihei in Spring 2021. It cost us about $2000. (love that Jordan wears wrinkled shirts) I love the videos!
Hi guys! So helpful. Thank you. I’d love your advice as Maui residents. How do you think a husky type mix would do in the climate? Thank you kindly! Amanda
Soo once you do this.. are you then easily able to fly between the islands, and also from the islands to the states? or do you have to go through this each time you want to fly with your dog out of state? Thanks you this video is super informative btw!
it is easy to fly between islands. When you go back to the states and then back to Hawaii then paperwork is required to show the rabies vaccine is still good, like a booster and a health check at arrival.
You can fly to other rabies free zones such as Japan, but if you travel with them to continental US or other country that has rabies then you kind of have to go through the process again.
Thank you SO much for all this information! My only question is about having your dog directly released once you arrive at the airport. I can't seem to find any information about that. We are considering moving to Maui and bringing our dog with us, and we would love to have a veterinarian meet us at the airport like you guys did, but I'm not seeing any information about how to go about doing that. (All the information I can find is that all dogs and cats need to go directly to Oahu first to be quarantined for 5 days. But ideally we'd like to fly him directly to Maui with us, and do what you guys did.)
So helpful. You guys are awesome. Thinking of taking a quick trip to Maui with my 2 small dogs but wasn’t aware of all the requirements plus all the fees adding up I have to ask myself if it’s worth it. Cute dog btw.
From everything i read, no matter what they have to quarantine 5 days when they land. How did you get around that? I listened to the video but somehow missed it!
What about if your dog has had a rabies vaccine 2 years old and then you give them another shot? As long as the blood said the antibodies are good that part is done
I got a job out of the blue on Maui. Now my wife and daughter and Yorke need to wait a god offal amount of time to be here with me. Rent everywhere is expensive and now I’m paying rent in two different states for three months. What a giant pain in the ass. You would think that in 2024 there would be a quicker way of getting test results. And even after having test results being able to show them right away instead of waiting. Sounds like from being to end is minimum 3 1/2 months.
Thank you for the information! Did you need to find an American licensed vet in England, or did a local vet work? Considering it's international, are the rules different?
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide oh ha I'm curious what you guys do that allowed such a move and the ability to move to hawaii...Been considering a similar move, but work could be an issue. Do you have any vids on how you got there / cover bills?
How long does it take the lab to send the dept of Agriculture the confirmed, finalized testing results? (Not the time it takes to run the test) Is quick or another few weeks?
Hi so my dog will be landing in Oahu but gonna be living on the big island if we do the inspection in Oahu will we still have to do an inspection on the big island
Hi! I'm planning to move to Honolulu from California in December, 2023. My dog has already passed the FAVN test, has been microchipped, and I have documentation of 2 Rabies vaccinations that are two years apart. The Hawaii Dept. of Agriculture and Quarantine Station informs me that I must wait a minimum of 120 days after results of the FAVN test have been received before I can transport my dog to Hawaii. This seems to conflict with your information of only a 30 day wait. Can you please clarify this discrepancy? Thank you.
I’m confused. You say the rabies vaccines must be 30 days apart but their checklist says “the rabies vaccines must have been administered more than 30 days apart” (pg 9) can you clarify?
Love this thank I want to visit my brother in Hawaii and would need take gambit with me he’s already micro chip and has had 2 vaccines I’m worried about finding a vet to meet at in the airport small island Kauai
Did you do a direct flight to Maui? Can you clarify if I can do direct release in Honolulu instead of Kona if I'm flying to the Big Island. I'm planning to move my Pomeranian from the Philippines, through Honolulu and then Hilo, Hawaii. Will I still need a NIIP if my dog is released in Honolulu? I've been emailing HDOA but they're quite busy.
hi, question, if my dog had his rabies shot a few years ago but I get my second one today, would that cound as a 2 rabies shot 30 days apart as long as the last show was 30 days before I do the blood test and heading to Hawaii?
We like Alaska because they let our small dog in the cabin. Look on amazon for a soft case kennel bag or your local pet shop. We bought ours in London as we were living there at the time.
I have my little chihuahua mix at home in Arizona and I’m going there all of June and I want to bring him back with me (I live on Oahu) but I’m so worried it’s gonna be so complicated
Hey! I read that after you get the results of your FAVN test, you need to wait at least 120 days until your pet is allowed in the state. IS this misinformation? I saw another video that says no less than 30 days no more than 36 months.
No less than 30 days and no more than 36 months is what's correct per the department of agriculture website. I think the 120 days wait time is an old rule that doesn't apply anymore.
If i’m in the mainland and have family in hawaii, would I have to go through this process every single time I return to hawaii? or will the tests be fine for 36 months ?
Hey, what lab did you use for the blood test I know someone that paid over 700$ for the blood test alone! I don't want that to end up being me. I'm reading the article on the hawaii vacation guide and it says you only paid 65$
No young children that cry and scream in the cabin to annoy passengers. My 2 pups, both under 8 lbs, slept on our laps for the entire flight. You will never know we have puppies with us.
Hi Jordan and Erica- I just read this in the news and I thought you should know. Rapid response testing available at SFO! "United is the first U.S. airline to offer a Covid-19 testing program. Passengers booked from United’s San Francisco hub to Hawaii, one of its most popular destinations, will have that option starting Oct. 15, the airline said Thursday. The date is when Hawaii is scheduled to lift a two-week quarantine requirement on arriving travelers as long as they test negative for Covid-19 within 72 hours of their departure. Passengers will be responsible for payment. Firm pricing is still in the works but the tests will at first cost $250."
Thank you, John! I saw that headline but hadn't read it yet. Looks promising and hopefully, the other airlines follow suit. Looks like we may be flying United back home in a few weeks.
Wow, insanely helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you, guys! This is seriously the most detailed and helpful video I’ve seen on the topic!
we appreciate that! Erica has a lot of experience on getting Hattie on and off the islands.
Great video...very detailed and informative. Clearly, your dog is family member and you certainly treat her well. Thanks for sharing.
The best, most informative video I've seen yet on importing your pets to Hawaii!! Thank you guys so much!! Also, loved the pictures. You are a beautiful family 🤗
I love how much you guys love your dog. She is one of the cutest dogs I've ever seen! Absolutely adorable
Thanks so much!! Our golden doodle will soon be a Maui resident! Aloha!

Thank you. I plan to move to the north shore of Kauai. I totally respect the requirements.
Great video! Would love one that focuses on tips for moving everyone else to HI from the mainland as well!
Thank you for this helpful information!
Hattie is so lucky! To go from a stray on the streets of England to a wonderful life in Paradise!!! Wow!
We sure hope so! She has allergies in Hawaii so isn’t always happy to be here.
You guys have helped me out countless times. Bless your hearts 💕
great to hear! best of luck with your pup

Great video, thank you so much. Within that 36 months after the bloodwork, can you leave the island and come back?
Thanks for the video... Im moving to Hawaii from New York City on December. 🤙

So helpful. You guys are awesome. Thinking of taking a quick trip to Maui with my 2 small dogs but wasn’t aware of all the requirements plus all the fees adding up I have to ask myself if it’s worth it. Cute dog btw.
Yes, not worth bringing your pets here for vacation. Thanks for watching. Hattie is adorable.
Thank you for the info
From everything i read, no matter what they have to quarantine 5 days when they land. How did you get around that? I listened to the video but somehow missed it!
What if your dog is too large to fly in the cabin? Do they have safe areas under the plane to have love animals?
What about if your dog has had a rabies vaccine 2 years old and then you give them another shot? As long as the blood said the antibodies are good that part is done
When our cat and dog got their blood test taken it was $1000 total with expedited.
This video is so helpful, thank you. Anyone know which airlines allow large dogs (70+ pounds) to fly?
Me and my wife did everything for our arrival to Honolulu but missed one step…
I got a job out of the blue on Maui. Now my wife and daughter and Yorke need to wait a god offal amount of time to be here with me. Rent everywhere is expensive and now I’m paying rent in two different states for three months. What a giant pain in the ass. You would think that in 2024 there would be a quicker way of getting test results. And even after having test results being able to show them right away instead of waiting.

I thought that you made a video about moving to Hawaii as well. But I can’t find it?
Thank you for the information! Did you need to find an American licensed vet in England, or did a local vet work? Considering it's international, are the rules different?
the rules are not different. We had a local English vet but the lab had to be one specified by Hawaii, so the blood sample went to the states.
Thanks for this helpful video! Btw is your husband a consultant? Strikes me as one.
thanks for watching! he has never been a consultant
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide oh ha I'm curious what you guys do that allowed such a move and the ability to move to hawaii...Been considering a similar move, but work could be an issue. Do you have any vids on how you got there / cover bills?
Wait, we have to wait for them to mail the paperwork back to us?
How much did you pay for antibodies test

If i’m in the mainland and have family in hawaii, would I have to go through this process every single time I return to hawaii? or will the tests be fine for 36 months ?
the rabies certification lasts for some time but you will have to do the health check, meet a vet every time, etc.
Hey, what lab did you use for the blood test I know someone that paid over 700$ for the blood test alone! I don't want that to end up being me. I'm reading the article on the hawaii vacation guide and it says you only paid 65$
We used a lab in the UK, check the Hawaii website that we link to on the website as their are only 2 or 3 labs you are allowed to use.
But how did u get the pet on the plane. Do I call the airport for a ticket for them to be in the cabin.
see their websites, some let pets fly in the cabin. Then it can depend on the plane too. They will charge for the pet.
yall look like brother and sister
