Pet Travel Certificates
Take a trip with your four-legged friend
If you are flying with your companion to another state, they will need a health certificate.
At easyvet Alpharetta, we make it easy to prepare for domestic travel with our pet travel certificate services. Our team in Alpharetta, GA will check that your pet meets all the necessary requirements for a safe and smooth journey by filling out the necessary health certificate for state-to-state travel with your pet.
Domestic Travel Certificates for Cats and Dogs
When traveling within the United States, many states require a health certificate to ensure your pet is healthy and up-to-date on their medical care. The most common requirement is for the rabies vaccine, but states may have additional regulations depending on your destination. Health certificates are also often needed for pets traveling on airlines, as they serve as proof that your pet is fit to travel and poses no risk to other animals or humans. Once the certificate is filled out, it will be valid for 30 days.
At easyvet Alpharetta, our veterinarians will perform a comprehensive physical exam to confirm your pet is in good health. We will also confirm that all vaccinations are current and fill out the necessary paperwork to meet both state and airline requirements. With our help, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is travel-ready and in compliance with all regulations
Obtaining a health certificate for your pet requires a little preparation.
Here are some steps to get started:
- Gather Medical Records: If your pet has been recently seen at another clinic and we do not have the records, bring those records with you to your appointment or send them over ahead of time.
- Check Airline Requirements: Review the specific requirements of your airline, as these can vary. Some airlines may require additional forms, specific travel crates, or confirmation of breed.
- Research State Guidelines: Visit the USDA’s website to confirm the health certificate requirements for your destination state. Each state has its own regulations, and being informed helps prevent travel delays or complications.
Traveling With Pets: Tips and Advice
Traveling with pets can be a unique challenge, especially for those who experience motion sickness, anxiety, or are traveling for the first time. If your pet gets nauseous during car rides or flights, we can recommend medications to reduce motion sickness. Anxiety is common for pets when they are exposed to new environments or prolonged travel. We can discuss calming solutions to ease their stress. For pets new to traveling, familiar items or a few practice trips can help them adjust.
Whether you’re traveling by car or plane, planning ahead and addressing your pet’s specific needs with a veterinarian can make the journey safer and more enjoyable for both of you.
