PUERTO RICO BANNING OUR DOG?! Rabies Vaccination Nightmare To Leave Dominican Republic | Ep 95

🐾 PUERTO RICO BANNING OUR DOG?! Rabies Vaccination Nightmare After Dominican Republic ​Is our time in the Dominican Republic going to cost us our dog? We're rushing to get Bella all of her required vaccinations and titer tests, but the timeline is tight! Because the DR is classified as a high-risk country for rabies, the process to get our sweet Bella into Puerto Rico (a US territory) is complicated, expensive, and stressful. ​Join us as we take Bella to the local vet for her first rabies shot—a crucial step in what will be a long process involving two shots and a titer test that we have to wait a whole month for! Will we get all the paperwork done in time to leave the DR without a snag? Or will we be sailing with the fear that Puerto Rico will ban our dog? ​This is the reality of cruising with pets in the Caribbean, especially when dealing with strict US import laws.
