International Health Certificates
Planning to travel abroad with your pet? Our practice offers International Health Certificates to ensure your furry friend meets all health requirements for international travel. Whether you're relocating or going on vacation, our team is here to assist you in navigating the complexities of international pet travel regulations.
Disclaimer:
Please be aware that our practice issues International Health Certificates exclusively for established patients & clientele. To ensure the health and safety of your pet, as well as compliance with international travel regulations, we require an ongoing veterinary relationship prior to issuing these certificates. If your pet is not currently under our care, we encourage you to schedule a wellness exam and become part of our clinic family before requesting travel documentation. Thank you for understanding.

Disclaimer:
Clients are encouraged to conduct their own research on responsibilities that fall outside the veterinarian's scope of expertise for international pet travel to ensure a smooth and successful journey for their pets. While our team specializes in providing health certificates and ensuring pets meet specific health requirements, there are several responsibilities that typically remain with the pet owner or traveler:
- Country-Specific Regulations: Each country has its own regulations regarding pet importation, which may include requirements such as specific vaccines, microchipping, quarantine periods, and documentation. It's essential for pet owners to research and understand these regulations to comply with them.
- Travel Arrangements: Veterinarians provide health checks and issue health certificates, but clients are responsible for making travel arrangements, including booking flights or other transportation methods that accommodate pets, understanding airline or transport company policies, and ensuring pets are comfortable during travel.
- Documentation and Paperwork: While veterinarians assist in preparing health certificates and some documentation, clients may need to gather additional paperwork such as proof of ownership, vaccination records, and any additional permits required by the destination country's authorities.
- Quarantine and Customs Procedures: Depending on the destination, pets may be subject to quarantine upon arrival. Clients should research and prepare for these procedures, which may involve specific timelines and additional costs.
- Health and Safety During Travel: Clients should consider their pet's comfort and safety during travel, including preparing a travel kit with essentials such as food, water, medications, and familiar items to reduce stress.
