Travelling with your pet

I have travelled back and forth across the border between the U.S. and Canada frequently with show dogs. The last time I flew the customs people asked me if I had any pet food. As it turned out at that time they didn't make a big fuss about it. Can anyone direct me to a website, or offer advice re the regulations. I've been to the FDA website and couldn't see anything helpful. I just need to know how to travel with my dogs and their food so that we'll all get to our destination. Thanks for any help you can offer.

www.faa.gov

But most websites can be found using a search at www.google.com.

I think the questions may have had to do with mad cow disease. My dog's favorite chow was made in Canada and the store manager where I buy it said they can no longer obtain it because of mad cow disease.
Have you tried asking this Q on dog websites? they must have better advise about how to transport or get you're food when travelling across the border.

Website for US Customs is http://www.customs.ustreas.gov/.Try clicking on "Know Before You Go"

Website for Canadian customs is http://www.ccra-adrc.gc.ca

This in not an FDA issue, as the FDA deals with food/drug safety for food/drugs sold in the US.
