Health Certificates in Alpharetta

Pets sometimes need special documentation in order to travel with their people.

When flying, pets will almost always need a health certificate. Some states will even require a health certificate when entering by car.

Accredited Veterinarian

PVS - Alpharetta is an accredited veterinarian for health certificates, which means we can certify that your pets are healthy enough for travel. Sometimes called a certificate of veterinary inspection (CVI), this piece of paper might be the thing standing between you and permission to enter a new location with your pet.

Healthy for Travel

Healthy for Travel

When you need a health certificate, we will examine your pet and make sure he or she is healthy enough for travel. We will document this on the certificate, as well as add a list of vaccinations and identifying information about your pet. If your pet needs additional vaccinations before the trip, we will be sure to administer them.

Specific Travel Requirements

You might find different pet health certificate requirements based on your desired destination. Be sure to research before your trip to see when you need to obtain this certificate. Some airlines or locations require a health certificate ten days before travel, others have different timelines. We will work with you based on your needs to ensure you have everything required to travel safely with your pet.

Health Certificate Checklist

Let us simplify the process of getting the health certificates you need with an easy-to-follow checklist:

  • Visit the USDA’s website and enter your travel destination to learn about specific requirements. Make a list of any vaccinations or veterinary requirements.
  • Print and complete this form before your visit.
  • If your travel destination does not have its own health certificate to fill out, print out this one and bring it to your veterinary visit.
  • If your destination requires that your pet is microchipped, be sure to schedule an appointment so we can implant one in your pet.
  • Contact us to schedule your appointment for your Health Certificate appointment.
