Yes, bringing a dog from the United States to New Zealand is legally permitted, but it involves an exceptionally rigorous, multi-month import process regulated by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). Because New Zealand is free of rabies and specific canine diseases, dogs must be microchipped, undergo specific rabies blood titer testing, complete a series of mandatory vaccinations and parasite treatments, and secure an official import permit. Upon arrival, dogs must spend a mandatory minimum of 10 days in an approved quarantine facility.
