It's perfectly OK to bring your dog or cat to Alaska, as long as it has a veterinarian-supplied health certificate stating that the pet has had its shots. Pets arrive daily on airliners, the ferry system and the Alaska Highway.

Alaska doesn't have native populations of fleas, ticks or heartworms. Some rabies cases have been reported, but those mostly have involved foxes in rural areas.
