Pet Travel Requirements

Ready to travel with your pet? Insight Veterinary Wellness Center can help you prepare!

We encourage our clients to be properly informed and equipped with the proper documentation, medications, and flight information before traveling with your pet!

Domestic Travel Certification

In order to ensure that your pets are healthy enough to travel safely with no communicable or regional diseases found, a domestic Health Certificate is required by many states and airlines. Each airline has a different set of criteria, so you will want to research the specific requirements that will apply to your situation. Insight Veterinary Wellness Center is able to issue official Health Certificates to our patients following a regular exam.

International Travel Certification

If you’re leaving the country, you will likely need special USDA or EU documents or Rabies titer testing. These special forms usually must be issued within 10 days of travel and stamped at the local USDA office.

As a USDA-accredited veterinary practice, Insight Veterinary Wellness Center can provide the travel documentation necessary for international travel.
