My understanding is: you only need 2 pieces of papers from Canada for you pet to enter China:
-certificate of health
-certificate of vaccinations clearly indicating that the latest rabies shot was done within 30 days
Upon arriving at your final desitnation, "take your pet, fee and certificates to the
Customs & Immigration Plant and Quarantine office at the airport - its located before the Customs exit. You will be charged RMB150, the certificates will be examined and customs will give you a stamped document allowing you to bring your pet in. Note that there is a mandatory 30 days quarantine period. You can usually keep your pet with you at home for this period however. Quarantine officers will come and inspect your pet during the 30 day period, and charge a small nominal fee."
"Tip: Make sure that someone will be there at the office in advance when you arrive. It is recommnded that you phone ahead before you depart and arrange this." If you are going to enter China through Shenzhen, call Shenzhen airport to find out the number of the quarantine office, and let them know when you'll arrive.
"Last, but not least, if your pet is a dog, you will need to register it with the local police station when you finally move into your apartment. "
