When Your Pet Might Need a Health Certificate
Pets may need a health certificate when you’re traveling, and requirements can vary depending on where you're headed.
Interstate Travel
Some states require proof that your pet is healthy and current on vaccinations before crossing state lines. Airlines will also require a health certificate, even if you’re only flying within the United States.
International Travel
Countries outside the U.S. have their own rules regarding vaccines, microchipping, testing, and forms. Because these rules can be specific, international certificates must be completed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian. Timing matters, and working with a team familiar with the process helps keep everything on track.
During your appointment, your veterinarian will examine your pet, confirm all required vaccines, review identification details, and complete the necessary forms based on your destination's rules.
What to Expect with a Pet Health Certificate
We aim to make the process simple. Once you let us know your travel plans, we’ll outline what’s required and help you prepare any records needed ahead of time. Our USDA-accredited veterinarian in Carmel will then perform a full exam, discuss any destination-specific requirements, and complete the paperwork during your visit whenever possible.
If your destination has rules that require extra steps, such as lab testing or additional vaccines, we’ll walk you through the timeline so everything is ready before your departure date.
