Pet Health Certificate FAQs

What is a pet health certificate?
A pet health certificate is a document completed by a veterinarian confirming your pet is healthy and ready for travel. Airlines and destination countries may require it before your pet can fly or cross borders.
How early should I start planning for pet travel?
Start planning early! We recommend contacting us at least 30 days before travel — especially for international trips. Some destinations have strict timelines for vaccines, testing, and paperwork.
Does my pet need a health certificate for domestic travel?
Sometimes! Many airlines require one for pets flying within the United States. Requirements can vary, so always check directly with your airline before booking travel.
What should I bring to my pet’s appointment?
Please bring:
  • Vaccine records
  • Previous travel documents (if applicable)
  • Import permits
  • Airline requirements
  • Microchip information
  • Any paperwork your destination country requires
Can you guarantee my pet will be approved for travel?
We’ll do everything we can to help prepare your paperwork correctly, but final approval is determined by airlines, government agencies, and destination countries.
Does my pet need a microchip?
Some countries require pets to have an ISO-compatible microchip before travel. If your pet needs one, we can help with implantation before completing travel paperwork.
What vaccines does my pet need for travel?
Rabies vaccination is commonly required, but some destinations may also require additional vaccines, parasite treatments, or laboratory testing.
How long is a pet health certificate valid for?
That depends on where your pet is traveling. Some certificates are only valid for 10 days, while others may be accepted for longer periods.
What happens if my paperwork is incomplete?
Incomplete paperwork can delay travel plans, quarantine your pet, or even prevent entry into another country. That’s why it’s important to plan ahead and provide all required documents before your appointment.
Can you help with international pet travel paperwork?
Yes! We can help guide pet owners through health certificate requirements, timelines, and veterinary documentation needed for international travel.
