Pet Travel Certificate
If you are planning on traveling by plane, boat, or car with your pet to another state or country, your pet may require a health certificate.
Pet travel or pet health certificates are documents that indicate your pet is healthy to travel and won’t pose a health risk to other pets or people in that region. Since animal health requirements may differ between states, countries and/or airlines, we encourage you to contact our veterinary practice to obtain a health certificate as soon as your travel dates are solidified.
​
In most cases, certificates must be issued within 10 days of traveling. It is important to note that a pet must be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling.
How can I obtain a health certificate for my pet?
First, check with your airline and destination to see if a travel health certificate is required.
If a certificate is required, your pet must have a passing health exam and up to date rabies vaccinations to travel. If all of these requirements are met, we will issue a travel certificate for your pet.
We will work with you to determine your needs, based on your travel destination. Since requirements differ by each state, country and airline, we encourage you to gather information as early as possible.
