To whom it may concern at the <INSERT RELEVANT CFIA DISTRICT OFFICE> ,

This letter is to advise that I, Dr. <INSERT NAME OF ISSUING VETERINARIAN> (<INSERT LICENSE NUMBER AND ASSOCIATED PROVINCIAL LICENSING BODY>), and the staff at the above referenced veterinary clinic have been duly informed that <INSERT CLIENT NAME AND ADDRESS> will be importing <INSERT NUMBER AND BREED OF DOG(S)> on or around <INSERT INTENDED DATE OF IMPORT>Footnote 1 over the next <INSERT SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME UP TO A MAXIMUM OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ISSUANCE>Footnote 1 and have agreed to act as the preapproved quarantine facilityFootnote 1 and/or provide any required veterinary care to the imported dog(s) upon entering Canada and/or during any required quarantine period, at the expense of the importer/owner.

Any veterinary care required while the dog(s) is/are under quarantine will be rendered at either the pre-approved quarantine facility located at <INSERT ADDRESS OF QUARANTINE FACILITY> associated with the import of concernFootnote 1 and/or the above referenced clinic, which is a practice licensed/accredited for small animals in the province of <INSERT PROVINCE>1. The above noted clinic has the capacity to house <INSERT NUMBER> quarantined dogs at one time. In the event veterinary care is needed outside of regular operating hours, after hours veterinary care will be provided by <INSERT EITHER THE ABOVE NOTED CLINIC OR THE NAME OF THE CLINIC THAT HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES>Footnote 2.

Given that the quarantine period is not prescribed and is subject to the health and conditions of the animals on arrival, I recognize that the duration of the quarantine may be an extended period of time and agree to act as the preapproved quarantine facilityFootnote 1 and/or provide any required veterinary services for the entire duration of the required quarantine. I have reviewed and been informed of the CFIA's quarantine criteria for commercial dogs less than eight months of age (breeding, show/exhibition (permanent stay), and resale/adoption end uses) entering Canada by air.

If I am no longer able to act as the preapproved quarantine facilityFootnote 1 and/or provide veterinary services to the imported dog(s) for the above referenced client, I will notify the <INSERT RELEVANT CFIA DISTRICT OFFICE> immediately.

Sincerely,

<signature of issuing veterinarian>
