International Health Certificates for Dogs and Cats

Planning international travel with your pet? Our veterinary team provides USDA-endorsed International Health Certificates for dogs and cats traveling outside the United States.

What Is an International Health Certificate?

An International Health Certificate is an official document required for pets traveling internationally. It verifies that your pet:

  • Is healthy and safe to travel

  • Is current on rabies vaccination

  • Has proper identification (microchip)

  • Meets the specific import regulations of the destination country

Most international destinations have strict and time sensitive requirements, which is why working with an experienced veterinary team is essential.

We assist with international pet travel to countries including but not limited to:

  • Germany 

  • England 

  • France

Each country has different regulations for vaccinations, parasite treatments, rabies titer testing, and timelines. 

When Should You Schedule?

International pet travel often requires planning weeks to months in advance. Some countries require rabies titers that must be completed at least 30-90 days before travel.
