U.S. State and Territory Requirements

Domestic movement requirements are set by the receiving State or Territory. Please be aware that not all States or Territories allow ferrets.

Visit the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture to find your destination's agriculture department and check its website for requirements.

For questions or clarification on any of the requirements, contact the State or Territorial veterinarian's office.
