Traveling with Pets

Interstate Travel

Requires little pre-travel planning. *Except Hawaii* 

Health Certificates are filled out within 10 days of travel.

A Rabies Certificate will accompany the Health Certificate.

International Travel

Can be very difficult. 

Often requires several months of planning.

Often requires special documents in multiple languages.

Often requires special blood testing.

Often requires special flea/tick and intestinal parasite treatments prior to travel, regardless of infection status.

If making multiple stops, you may be required to have different documentation for each country.

 

Before our doctors will begin work on the process for an International Health Certificate, you must make an appointment with our Office Manager to go over key details and begin working on a timeline of events & documentation needs.  Please e-mail our Office Manager to set up an appointment. 

*We are not responsible for obtaining information required to enter another country with your pet.  Please research this and allow several months of planning.  Visit the USDA for more information.*

General Considerations

Pet(s) must be presented for examination at the time the travel certificates are completed.

Contact your Airline during the planning process.  Each Airline may have a different policy regarding travel with pets and/or the use of sedatives.
