Easier Return to US for Federal Personnel with Dogs and Cats.

New rules simplify the return of federal employees and their families to the United States with dogs and cats, even from high-risk rabies countries. The act reduces bureaucracy and allows for the transport of animals on foreign airlines when US carriers cannot provide such service. Additionally, it enables access to veterinary care abroad.
Key points
Simplified return to the US with dogs and cats for federal personnel and their families, bypassing certain rabies restrictions.
Ability to transport up to three domestic animals (dogs or cats) on foreign airlines if US carriers cannot provide such service.
Authorization for the State Department to arrange veterinary care and rabies vaccinations for personnel's pets abroad.
