Meeting Travel Regulations with Health Certificates:

Most airlines and some states require a health certificate for pets traveling by air or crossing state lines. Our veterinarians are accredited to issue and endorse the necessary health certificates for both domestic and international travel of dogs and cats.

What to Expect When Obtaining a Health Certificate:

  • Schedule a Consultation: Contact us to schedule a pre-travel consultation for your pet. During this appointment, our veterinarian will:
    • Conduct a thorough physical examination of your pet
    • Review your pet’s vaccination history and ensure they are up-to-date on all required vaccinations
    • Discuss any specific health requirements for your travel destination
  • Health Certificate Issuance: Once your pet meets all the requirements, we will issue the official health certificate and ensure it is properly endorsed for your specific travel needs.

Additional Travel Considerations:

  • Airline Regulations: Airlines may have additional requirements for transporting pets. Be sure to review the airline’s pet travel policy well in advance of your trip.
  • Destination Country Requirements: Some countries have specific import regulations for animals. Research the requirements of your destination country to ensure your pet meets all entry criteria.
