Anybody taken your dog to the US?

We will be flying, but any experience will be useful I think--driving cross-border too. I will look up the requirements (rabies and other vaccinations for sure I know), but there's nothing like personal experience. She is quite small, a 5-lb puppy whose mom is only 10 lbs--and she's looking like she won't be as big as her mom. She will be able to fly in-cabin with us. But she's our first dog, so we are complete pet-rookies, for any kind of travel.

We drive with the dog all the time across the border. They just need an up to date rabies shot and you need a vet signed certificate for this. Dogs under 3 months don't need their shots.

We cross the border probably 20 times a year and have never been asked to see the papers but have been asked if the shots are up to date.

Damo that's great info, thanks! Have you ever been questioned about kibble? We use a Canadian-made brand...I was thinking we'd bring an unopened bag.
