🚨 Equine Travel Alert | Hauling from Arizona to California?
California has additional entry requirements due to New World screwworm. If you’re hauling horses to California for a show, training, breeding, or any other reason, please call or text our office as soon as you know your travel dates so we can help you plan your inspection and paperwork.
Before you haul, make sure you have:
• An electronic health certificate (eCVI) issued by an accredited veterinarian with the required New World screwworm inspection statement. Paper certificates are not accepted.
• A California entry permit obtained before your horse leaves its current premises. The permit number must be listed on the electronic health certificate.
• A current negative Coggins (EIA) test.
• An inspection timed so your horse arrives in California within 7 days of the exam. Stricter requirements may apply if your horse is coming from a designated infested or surveillance zone.
Please review the attached notice from the Arizona State Veterinarian’s Office and check California’s current requirements before departure. California Department of Food and Agriculture travel guidance
