Traveling with a pet in a foreign country.

Every country has its own set of health requirements for pets that may require your pet to get a microchip, specific vaccinations, or undergo certain tests. The  USDA APHIS export pages provide essential information to help guide you through the requirements for your destination. We submit all eligible documents to the USDA via their digital VEHCs submission system.

What is the process to get an International Health Certificate?

  1. Once we receive your health certificate request a staff member will a staff member will review your pets information, your destination country and give you a call to discuss a general overview of your pets needs in order to be eligible for travel to your destination.
  2. Our USDA Accredited Veterinarians and Health Certificate Coordinators will work together to review your pets complete medical records, regulations for entering your destination country and import requirements if your are returning to the U.S. A. They will then develop a recommended schedule catered to you and your pet.
  3. Once your pet has met all of the requirements to be eligible for travel a physical exam will be performed with one of our USDA Accredited Veterinarians and the health certificate will be filed with the USDA through their VEHCS electronic documentation system for final approval.
  4. The USDA will send your completed health certificate through next day shipping or electronic delivery depending on your destination country.
