How Guam handles your pet
Key points
Guam is rabies-free and runs the strictest pet-entry regime in the United States: "Guam is rabies-free
Guam's quarantine law is designed to protect residents and pets from the devastating problems associated with the spread of rabies." Every animal needs an entry permit, with no exceptions — "If it has a heartbeat it requires an entry permit." The baseline is 120 days of commercial quarantine, and the whole game is shortening it, because the 120 days are counted from the day the FAVN blood sample reaches the laboratory, not from arrival: "then your pet will have to spend only as many days in commercial quarantine as required to reach 120 total days since the FAVN blood sample reached the laboratory." So a sample drawn early enough can reduce commercial quarantine to almost nothing
Three routes exist besides the full 120 days: Calculated Quarantine (FAVN 0.5 to 0.99 IU); Five Days or Less with Home Quarantine, which needs a FAVN of at least 1.0 IU and is open only to animals "originating in the mainland United States for 120 days or more and military personnel located on military instillations"; and full exemption for pets resident at least 120 days in an area Guam recognises as rabies-free, such as Japan or Hawaii
Two age limits bite
Guam's regulation requires the first rabies vaccination at "ninety (90) days of age or more" — stored as 13 weeks, the smallest whole week that satisfies 90 days
And a pet cannot realistically arrive before five months: "The Department will not approve the entry permit for an animal younger than 5 months if it will be required to complete 120 days of commercial quarantine"
Finally, a pet from a designated rabies-free area needs an affidavit for export or certificate of origin certifying it did not leave that area in the preceding four months
