How Alaska handles your pet
If the pet's initial rabies vaccination was given within 30 days before import, the animal must be confined for the balance of those 30 days after arriving in Alaska. This is confinement on arrival, not a waiting period before you travel: Alaska does not stop you flying, it restricts the animal once it is there.
