Health Certificate

Planning to travel with your pet to another state or country? Before you embark on your journey, it's important to know that you may need to complete certain paperwork or tasks, such as obtaining a health certificate for your pet. This certificate is often a requirement to prove that your pet is healthy and vaccinated, but unfortunately, the process is not as straightforward as many might think.

Every country, and even some states, have different rules and require specific documentation. Meeting these requirements can be complex, and in some cases, it may take up to six months to gather all the necessary paperwork.

Given the time-sensitive nature of these requirements, it's crucial to contact your veterinarian as soon as you decide to travel—whether by plane, car, boat, train, or any other means. We're here to help make this process as smooth as possible for you and your pet!

Our team has successfully assisted pet owners prepare for travel domestically and abroad. We are here to walk you through the process every step of the way to help make sure your pet has all the facilitated testing, vaccines, exams, and medication that is required for your country of choice. In the link below, you'll find valuable information to help guide you through the process, including the various forms you may need to complete.

Before you make an appointment for your Health Certificate, you will need your pet's full medical history, an ink signed rabies certificate from your veterinarian, travel dates, address where you will be staying, the airline you will be flying with.  Please be aware that each airline has their own requirements, along with some airports that you may be flying to.
