Moving to Hawaii with your pet
If
you're moving to Hawaii and are bringing pets, you need to be very careful
about 
following the policies in place or you could end up paying a lot of money
and waiting months for your pet to be allowed. Hawaii takes rabies and the
health & safety of residents very seriously. For a long time, pets entering
Hawaii had to undergo four months of quarantine. Now you can shorten that to
five days quarantine and possibly be able to have a direct release from the
airport (Must arrive between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. - see checklist for the
5-day-program below for complete details).
Also be aware that your pet may not be allowed to enter Hawaii at all because they prohibit many types of pets. For instance, if you have a pet ferret you won't be able to bring him. Check the Animal Guidelines for Importation to Hawaii to see if you'll be able to bring your pet.
Once you've verified that your pet is allowed to enter Hawaii, then the first thing you want to do is ensure that your pet can meet all of the guidelines for the 5-day-or-less-program. The checklist is found Here. Be aware that if you have a puppy or kitten, they won't be able to meet the guidelines for the 5-day-or-less-program until they are at least 10 months old.
