Pet Health Certificates for Domestic and International Travel

Pets sometimes need special documentation to travel with their people. When flying, pets will almost always need a health certificate. Some states will even require a health certificate when entering by car.

Specific Travel Requirements

You might find different pet health certificate requirements based on your desired destination. Be sure to research before your trip to see when you need to obtain this certificate. Some airlines or locations require a health certificate 10 days before travel, others have different timelines. We will work with you based on your needs to ensure you have everything required to travel safely with your pet.

Health Certificate Checklist

Let us simplify the process of getting the health certificates you need with an easy-to-follow checklist:

  • Visit the USDA's website and enter your travel destination to learn about specific requirements. Make a list of any vaccinations or veterinary requirements.
  • If your destination requires that your pet is microchipped, be sure to schedule an appointment so we can implant one in your pet.
  • Contact us to schedule your appointment for your Health Certificate appointment.
