Travel Health Certificates: Getting Your Pet Ready for the Journey Ahead Planning to travel with your pet? Whether you’re heading across state lines or across the globe, your furry companion may need a veterinary-issued health certificate to meet airline, state, or international requirements.Our team is experienced in preparing both domestic and international travel certificates, ensuring your pet meets all necessary health, vaccination, and documentation requirements—so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind.What Is a Pet Travel Health Certificate?A travel health certificate is an official document issued by a licensed veterinarian after examining your pet.

We’ll walk you through every step and make sure no details are missing.What to Expect During the Visit<ul><li>Physical exam to confirm your pet is healthy for travel</li><li>Review of vaccine and medical records</li><li>Administering vaccines or treatments if needed</li><li>Completion of required travel forms</li><li>Coordination with USDA (for international travel) if certification is needed</li></ul>We also provide tips on preparing your pet for the trip such as crate recommendations, hydration, and feeding guidelines on the day of travel.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>We’re here to make pet travel as stress-free as possible.
