Cathy，我帮你问过怎么带狗狗来上海了。
Cathy ，wǒ bāng nǐ wèn guo zěnme dài gǒugou lái Shànghǎi le 。
Cathy, I asked about how to bring your dog to Shanghai for you.
真是太谢谢你了。很麻烦吗？

Thank you so much. Is it a lot of trouble?
不太麻烦。要先办两个证明，狂犬疫苗证明和健康证明。狗狗要在入境前一个月至一年的时间内注射过狂犬疫苗。健康证明的签发日期须在入境前14天以内。这两个证明都需要出口国政府兽医签名和政府部门盖章。

It's not so bad. First you have to get two certificates - one showing proof of rabies vaccination and one for showing good health. The dog has to have the rabies vaccination from 1 month to a year before entering the country. The health certificate's date of issue has to be within 14 days. Both certificates need the signature of the government appointed veteranarian and a government stamp from the departing country.
哦，好的，我可以问一下这边的兽医。

Oh, OK. I can ask the vet here.
