Traveling with your pet can be very exciting; however, sometimes the process of gathering all the information and paperwork can be very cumbersome. We are here to help!
Requirements for travel will vary based on where you are going and how you are traveling and they are also ever-changing meaning even a few months' difference in travel dates will mean new regulations and changes to protocols.
For domestic travel, states and airlines typically have specific recommendations for travel, which often includes the acquisition of a Health Certificate from a veterinarian. We save you the time required to research travel requirements to ensure your pet has all the documentation and required preventatives and immunizations required.
International travel requires a much more in-depth review of import requirements for each country where you may be traveling. Airline regulations must also be met if you are traveling by air. Our veterinarian is USDA certified which is required for an International Health Certificate, the form necessary for foreign travel with pets. International travel requirements may include services required months before traveling, so the process can start months before the date of the exam appointment is scheduled. We can help walk you through the process for travel preparation and support you in your research with consulates in the destination country. Our Health Certificate pricing covers all costs associated researching travel requirements, contacts with foreign import and agriculture departments, document reviews for travel requirements for each country involved in the travel arrangements, USDA endorsement services, and overnight shipping of appropriate forms. When we begin the process for an International Health Certificate, we collect a $60 document review fee which goes toward the total Health Certificate fee paid at the time of the exam.
Planning ahead and timing of services is important when traveling with your pet and we are here to help. Please call to schedule an appointment or for more information about obtaining a Health Certificate or International Health Certificate for your pet.
