What Is a Pet Health Certificate?

A pet health certificate—also called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)—is an official document issued after a thorough veterinary exam. It verifies that your pet is free from contagious diseases and fit for travel, as required by airlines, states, or international destinations.

When Do You Need One?

You may need a health certificate for your dog, cat, or other small animal if you’re:

  • Traveling by air, especially with major airlines
  • Crossing state or international borders
  • Attending pet events or shows
  • Relocating to a new state or country

Regulations vary by destination, so we recommend calling before your travel date to ensure enough time for exams, vaccinations, and paperwork. Please download our pre-health certificate appointment paperwork.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your appointment, our veterinarian will:

  • Perform a physical exam
  • Review your pet’s vaccination records
  • Administer any required vaccines or treatments
  • Complete and sign the official USDA-approved health certificate

Please bring all prior medical records and travel details, including destination requirements and dates.
