Domestic & International Health Certificates

Health certificate appointments for pets travelling domestically or internationally, with guidance on documentation and timing.

Do I need a health certificate to travel within Canada?

Read more

It depends on how you're travelling. While many destinations within Canada don't require a health certificate, some airlines and transportation providers may request proof that your pet is healthy and fit to travel. We recommend checking with your airline or carrier before your trip, and our team can provide the required documentation if needed.

Do I need a health certificate for international travel?

Read more

Yes. Most countries require an official health certificate completed by a licensed veterinarian before your pet can enter the country. Depending on your destination, additional requirements such as vaccinations, microchipping, parasite treatments, blood tests, or government endorsements may also be necessary.

How far in advance should I book an international travel certificate?

Read more

We recommend booking your appointment as soon as your travel plans are confirmed. Some countries require vaccinations or laboratory testing weeks or even months before departure, and certain certificates must be completed within a specific timeframe before travel. Starting early helps avoid delays and ensures all requirements are met.

Can you help me understand my destination's entry requirements?

Read more

Absolutely. International pet travel requirements can vary significantly between countries. Our team will review your destination's health requirements and guide you through the necessary vaccinations, testing, treatments, documentation, and timelines to help make your travel experience as smooth as possible.

What if my destination requires additional testing or treatments?

Read more

If your destination requires blood tests, parasite prevention, microchipping, or additional vaccinations, we'll create a timeline to ensure everything is completed within the required window before departure. We'll explain each step and help you stay on schedule so your pet is ready to travel.
