Health Certificates for Pet Travel
✈️ Pet Travel & Health Certificates
Start Here for International & Interstate Pet Travel
We look forward to helping you and your pet prepare for travel! If you are traveling internationally or to a state with animal health requirements, your pet may need an official USDA-endorsed Health Certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian.
🐾 Important: It is the pet owner’s responsibility to come fully prepared to your health certificate appointment.
✅ Step 1: Research Destination Requirements
Each destination—whether a foreign country or U.S. state—has its own specific requirements, timelines, and documentation needs.
Before requesting an appointment, please follow these steps:
🔗 Use this tool: www.flywithmypet.com
- Enter your travel details to see all the health certificate requirements organized by timeline.
- Take a screenshot or download the timeline and requirements—these will need to be uploaded to your appointment request below.
💡 Important Tip: Some countries require vaccines, microchipping, or treatments weeks to months in advance—start early!
📞 Step 2: Contact the Right Authorities
Because requirements vary widely, we recommend confirming details with:
- Your destination country’s consulate or agricultural authority
- USDA-APHIS Veterinary Services (they endorse the final health certificate)
