international health certificates
If you're planning an international trip with your pet, navigating pet travel rules can be complicated. To make your travel preparation as accurate and efficient as possible, we have partnered with Passpaw to manage the destination-specific paperwork in one place.
Passpaw is only for international travel for dogs and cats at this time but we still do international exotic pet certificates.

We recommend scheduling your travel appointment as soon as you know your dates (ideally 30-60 days before international departure).
