A health certificate is an official document that a veterinarian fills out after performing a thorough exam on your pet. The document certifies that your pet is in good health, is free of contagious diseases and parasites, and lists all the vaccines your pet is up to date on. It also includes detailed information about your pet including their microchip information, age, breed, and test results. You can only obtain a pet health certificate from a licensed, USDA accredited
veterinarian. At Critter Care, both Dr. Carmen & Dr. Plummer are USDA Accredited veterinarians and can provide you with either an interstate or international health certificate depending on your travel destination.
It is important to fill out our health certificate preparation form as soon as you know you are traveling, as health certificates are usually only valid for 10 days. We highly recommend checking your airline’s requirements and the country’s requirements prior to scheduling an appointment.

There is a USDA endorsement fee per certificate for cats and dogs, in addition to our veterinary fees.
