Pet Travel Health Certification
Planning to travel with your pet? Whether you’re crossing state lines or flying internationally, Los Gatos Dog & Cat Hospital makes the process simple and stress-free with official pet travel health certification in Los Gatos, CA. Our team ensures your pet meets all health and documentation requirements so your journey is safe and smooth.
What Is a Pet Travel Health Certificate?
A pet travel health certificate—also called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)—is an official document signed by a licensed, USDA-accredited veterinarian. It confirms that your pet is healthy and current on vaccinations, particularly rabies, and fit for travel.
Depending on your destination, we’ll help determine:
- Required vaccines and preventive treatments
- Timeframes for documentation (some countries require vet visits within 10 days of travel)
- Any quarantine or microchipping requirements
- Forms specific to international or airline regulations
Whether you’re flying domestic, going abroad, or heading to Hawaii, we’ll guide you through every step.
We assist pet owners throughout Los Gatos, Campbell, San Jose, Santa Cruz, and Monte Sereno in preparing for travel with expert guidance and USDA-accredited certifications.
