Pet Health and Travel Certificate

• Schedule appropriately.  These certificates are only good for 30 days.
• If vaccines were done elsewhere, you must provide verification including a rabies certificate. A copy of the rabies certificate must accompany the health certificate.
• Contact your airline for any specific regulations. If traveling by car, a health certificate is still required by most states.
• If making multiple stops while traveling, the last destination needs to be the address on the certificate. This includes travel to Canada.
• An appointment can be made once we have all of the required information. If flying, the appointment must be 10 days prior to departure.

Traveling internationally with your pet can be stressful, Hayfield Animal Hospital is here to help! Different countries have different travel criteria, so we’ll need to determine exactly what you'll need and what requirements you’ll have to meet in order for your pet to travel with you. Start planning at least four months in advance for international travel. If rabies titers are required, i.e. Hawaii, Australia, etc, it is likely that you may need more time for planning and testing.

All international health certificates require a pre travel appointment, contact us as soon as you are considering international travel. Getting a final certificate can be a lengthy process!
