Issuance of International Health Certificates

Due to the substantial volume of incoming requests and the considerable time required to process the certificates thoroughly, the following hospital policy has been implemented:  

  1. Eligibility
    International Health Certificates will be issued only for established patients. To be considered an established patient, your pet must have been under the continuous care of our veterinary team for twelve (12) consecutive months.
  2. Accreditation Requirement
    All international health certificates must be completed by a veterinarian who is USDA-accredited via the VSPS program. Depending on the destination country and species, the certificate must be completed by a Category I or Category II accredited veterinarian as required by the destination’s animal health authorities.
  3. Health & Documentation Requirements
    Certificates will require:
    • Up-to-date vaccinations, including rabies and any additional diseases required by the destination country
    • Valid identification (microchip or other means)
    • A physical examination by the accredited veterinarian
    • Complete and verifiable medical history
  1. Advance Planning
    The process may involve preparing vaccination records, obtaining lab tests (if required), scheduling examinations, and possibly securing endorsements from appropriate government bodies. Please initiate the request well in advance of your travel date.  Also be sure to check the USDA APHIS Pet Travel site (https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel) for the most current pet import/export rules for your destination country ahead of your appointment.  Please be advised that once the certificate has been processed by our hospital and forwarded to the USDA for endorsement, the timeline for completion is beyond our control.
  2. Denial
    We reserve the right to decline issuing a certificate if:
    • The pet does not meet the health or vaccine requirements of the destination.
    • The pet is not an established patient under our care for the required period
What payments do you accept?

We accept cash, check, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Care Credit, with payment due upon services rendered. Estimates for appointments are available upon request, and we always provide estimates for surgical and non-surgical procedures prior to the scheduled procedure.
