It is generally understood that common carriers do not accept dogs for interstate movement without accompanying health certificates.
The carriers must also allow guide dogs on all flights except those to foreign countries where they are prohibited by health laws.
By identifying carriers and carefully selecting mates for these dogs, the eventual elimination of this disease is now possible.
