Domestic Travel Certification
Many states and airlines require a domestic health certificate to ensure your pet is healthy enough to travel safely without spreading any communicable diseases. It is important to research the criteria for the specific airline you are traveling with, as well as the state you are planning to visit.

Pro-tip: Give Yourself Plenty of Time to Prepare
Gathering the proper documentation and making sure your pet’s health records, vaccinations, and more are up to date can take a significant amount of time. Be sure you look at the requirements far in advance of your trip, so that you can schedule your pet’s appointment with us and allow enough time for the certificates to be approved.
