🏥 CDC-Registered Animal Care Facility – Seattle
🐾 What Is a CDC-Registered Facility?
A CDC-registered Animal Care Facility (ACF) is a federally designated location authorized to receive dogs from rabies-risk countries under strict health and safety regulations. We:
Provide secure, species-specific quarantine for 10-day observation
Work directly with U.S. Customs, CDC, and DAFF to ensure lawful entry
Maintain detailed vaccination, ID, and import compliance documentation
Host USDA-accredited veterinarians on site
Facility Location
Our CDC‑registered Animal Care Facility is the first ACF in the United States directly connected to a licensed veterinary clinic, providing seamless access to medical oversight and USDA‑accredited care. Located just 5 minutes from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, our setup allows for fast, controlled, and compliant processing of dogs arriving from CDC high‑risk rabies countries.
Quarantine intake is managed in a dedicated, secured wing designed specifically for rabies‑risk arrivals. Access to the property is restricted through gated pedestrian and vehicle entry, ensuring privacy, safety, and full adherence to CDC and USDA protocols from gate to quarantine suite.
Our integrated veterinary partnership provides immediate exam access, endorsement scheduling, and on‑site care, streamlining every step of the import process.
In addition to quarantine services, we offer courier support and air‑cargo connection throughout the Pacific Northwest, enabling smooth onward transport for animals continuing their journey beyond Seattle.
