Our veterinarians are USDA/APHIS Accredited for International travel health certificates. When scheduling an appointment for a health certificate, please gather all necessary information regarding your destination and requirements for travel. Each country and airline often has different requirements. Preparing for International travel with a pet is an extensive process and in some cases can take months. Our team is here to help with facilitating exams, vaccines and testing and will sign off on the required forms. To ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible, please follow the steps below before your scheduled appointment:
1. If you’re planning to travel with your pet, you may need to complete certain paperwork or tasks before you go. Meeting these requirements takes time, so don’t delay. The information on the following website will help you get started: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel.
2. Different countries have different requirements, so be sure to note all required vaccines, testing, medications and if a Microchip is required. If your pet does not have a microchip, please let us know at the time of scheduling so we can facilitate this at your appointment.
3. Determine whether your destination requires their own specific health certificate, or if the APHIS Form 7001 is accepted.
4. Once you’ve completed the Checklist, contact our office to schedule an appointment. Health certificate appointments are scheduled for a minimum of 1 hour and are often required within 14 days of travel. Please bring your checklist and any country-specific paperwork, as well as your pet.
