Domestic
Travel Certificates

Image
A domestic travel certificate may be required if you plan on traveling within the United States with your pet, especially if you are traveling by air. Certain states have specific laws regarding pet travel across state lines. For example, dogs must be vaccinated against rabies before entering many states. Domestic travel certificates can only be issued by USDA-certified veterinarians and include all relevant health information about your pet. The process is fairly straightforward, and the certificate must be issued within 10 days of your travel date.

International
Travel Certificates

Image
If you are planning an international trip with your pet, they will need an international travel certificate. This certificate is mandatory for entering other countries, and, like a domestic travel certificate, it must be issued by a USDA-certified veterinarian. The requirements vary between countries and certifying your pet can be a lengthy process. We encourage you to contact us as soon as you finalize your travel plans so we can begin the process and complete the necessary paperwork on time.
