Sending a blood sample to the US

[Farnoosh]

Are there any Canadians here in this group who have sent blood samples to the US for a PCR testing for ABV or AG? If yes, please tell me how you did that. My vet says she can't legally send them from the animal hospital and if I send them myself it is a risk. Not sure what the penalties are and that's what I'm trying to find out today. Anything you can tell me will help. Thank you!

I'm rather surprised the vet cannot send from animal hospital. Are the restrictions Canada Post, might alternatives of FedEx, UPS, or other courier service be possible? Meanwhile, waiting for our Canadian members to chime in!!

Yes I was told it has to do with licensing. But apparently animal hospitals from Montréal can do this but we can't from Vancouver! I called FedEx today and I think I can sign the form and send it myself. Will update soon.
