Our veterinarians are USDA-accredited and are able to issue health certificates for both domestic and international pet travel, including certificates that may require APHIS endorsement.
Please visit the APHIS Pet Travel website to review the travel requirements for the state or country your pet will be entering. We also recommend contacting your airline directly, as airlines may have their own forms or additional requirements for traveling with pets.
If you are relocating internationally, pet travel agencies are available that can assist with preparing and submitting the required paperwork. Keep in mind that travel preparation for certain destinations may take several weeks or even months, depending on the regulations.
In some cases, the USDA Veterinary Services (VS) Endorsement Office must review and officially endorse your pet’s International Health Certificate. This service requires a fee, and the endorsed documents are typically returned either by mail or electronically based on the destination country’s requirements.
Because each state and country has different regulations, gathering the necessary documentation can take time. To help us prepare for your pet’s travel, please complete the checklist below in full before scheduling an appointment. Once we receive your information, a member of our team will contact you within 2–3 business days if additional details are needed and to arrange an appointment for your pet’s examination and health certificate.
If your pet is 12 weeks of age or older, a rabies vaccination certificate will be required. Please email a copy of your pet’s rabies certificate to office@cypresscreekanimalhospital.com.
