Why You Need a Health Certificate for Your Pet and Why Choose Townsgate Animal Hospital
Traveling with Your Pet: Understanding Health Certificates
If you’re planning to travel domestically or internationally with your pet, obtaining a health certificate is a crucial step. Many airlines, states, and countries require this document to ensure that your pet is healthy and up to date on vaccinations. Without it, your pet may be denied boarding or entry into your destination. At Townsgate Animal Hospital, we make this process easy and stress-free by providing expert guidance and certification through our USDA-accredited veterinarian, Dr. Kiumarsi.
Domestic vs. International Health Certificates
While domestic health certificates are relatively straightforward, international travel requires additional planning and compliance with country-specific regulations. Some countries mandate microchipping, specific vaccinations, and even specialized tests that may take weeks to complete. To avoid any last-minute issues, we recommend starting the process at least 30 days before departure, with some destinations requiring up to 12 weeks of preparation. Contacting us early ensures that your pet meets all necessary travel requirements without unnecessary stress or delays.
