When Might Your Pet Need a Health Certificate?

Health certificates are required any time your pet is traveling and proof of health is needed.

Common situations include:

  • Air travel, both domestic and international

  • Crossing state lines, depending on regulations

  • International relocation or extended stays abroad

  • Military moves or long-distance travel

  • Certain boarding or relocation services

Each destination has its own set of rules, which may include specific timeframes for exams, updated vaccinations, diagnostic testing, and parasite treatments. For international travel in particular, requirements can be detailed and may take weeks or even months to complete. Starting early helps avoid delays or complications. Read through the USDA’s guide to become familiar with all the requirements necessary for travel to your destination with your pet.

What to Expect at Your Pet’s Health Certificate Appointment

Health certificate visits are more involved than a routine exam because they must meet strict regulatory standards.

During your appointment, our USDA-accredited veterinarian in Savannah will:

  • Perform a thorough physical exam to confirm your pet is healthy for travel

  • Review and update required vaccinations

  • Verify identification (such as microchipping, if required)

  • Complete and sign official health certificate documentation

  • Ensure all requirements align with your destination’s guidelines

For international travel, documentation must often be completed within a specific window of time before departure, so timing is important.

Start with the Travel Form for International Health Certificates

Because international travel requirements can vary widely, we ask that pet owners complete our Health Certificates and Travel Form in advance.

This form allows our team to:

  • Review your destination’s specific requirements

  • Identify necessary vaccinations, tests, or treatments

  • Plan the correct timing for appointments and documentation

  • Determine if additional steps are needed before travel

For international travel, documentation must often be completed within a specific window of time before departure, so timing is important.
