american Pitbull Terrier - California vaccinations?

Good day to you Californians I am currently living in Switzerland and wanted to know what vaccinations & check ups do I need done before I can go to California?Thanks in advance for the help, its very hard to find all these information about it all.

contact where you are going and ask for local laws on dogs

I'm pretty sure you'll need to have a Health Certificate and something to show utd vaccination, including rabies, for your dog. Would your vet over there be able to find out for you? When we took ours from the UK to Canada, we needed a Health Certificate and of course, a KC Export Pedigree so we could register our hounds with the CKC. However, although we could have had rabies shots done before we flew, we decided not to as it would have only been extra stress on them and coming from a rabies-free country, it wasn't required by Canada. I did get them done as soon as possible after we arrived however. This was before Pet Passport btw.

It depends on where in California you are going. You should look up the website of the town/city and find it laws on dog ownership. I put samples at the bottom, click on the links to read what may be expected.This is US Customs import requirements.http://www.petrelocation.com/pet-relocation-resources/united-states-pet-import-requirementsYou must also meet the Airline requirements as they are strict as well. Contact the Airline you will use, most have information on their websites.This site has information on Breed specific laws, a must if you own a Pit Bull.http://www.dogsbite.org/legislating-dangerous-dogs-california.phpThese are laws on the care and confinement of dogs: (while this is for LA it hold true for most places in the USA)http://animalcare.lacounty.gov/lawsordinances.asphttp://www.ehow.com/about_6197492_california-law-regarding-tethering-dogs.html
