Where the rules come from
Two agencies, two sets of rules
Taking a pet out of the United States and bringing a dog back in are governed by different agencies. This site points at both.
USDA APHIS — taking a pet out
APHIS publishes pet export requirements for the destination country. Its pages state what the destination requires and link the health certificates to use.
CDC — bringing a dog in
CDC is the primary authority for dog imports. Its requirements depend on where the dog was vaccinated and which countries it has been in.
