Why Does My Pet Need a Domestic Health Certificate?
Traveling with your pet within the United States requires a domestic health certificate. Your pet’s certificate confirms they are healthy, vaccinated, and meet the requirements set forth by the state. Additionally, some airlines have travel requirements that must be met before your pet can fly.
What Does it Cost?
The cost for domestic health certificates is based on your pet’s needs. An estimate will be provided to you before your appointment.
