At Wilder Animal Care, travel health certificates are handled with care and attention to detail. We help ensure your pet is prepared for travel while guiding you through the requirements clearly and calmly.

What are travel health certificates?

Travel health certificates are official documents that confirm your pet meets the health requirements for travel. These certificates are often required for airline travel, interstate movement, or international travel and must be completed within specific timeframes. Requirements vary depending on destination and mode of travel.

Health certificates help verify that your pet is healthy, properly vaccinated, and fit for travel.

What does a travel health certificate include?

A travel health certificate may include:

• A physical examination to confirm overall health

• Verification of vaccination status

• Review of parasite prevention or testing requirements

• Completion of destination specific documentation

• Official certification by a licensed veterinarian

Some destinations may have additional requirements beyond a standard health exam.

How does Wilder approach travel health certificates?

Our approach is organized and proactive. We take time to review your travel plans and destination requirements so nothing is missed. Because travel regulations can be strict and time sensitive, careful planning is essential.

We explain what is required, when appointments need to occur, and what documentation is needed so you feel prepared well before your travel date.

What can I expect during a travel health certificate visit?

A travel health certificate visit typically includes:

Review of travel details and destination requirements
Physical examination of your pet
Verification of vaccinations and medical records
Completion of required forms and documentation
Guidance on next steps and timing

We recommend scheduling travel related visits well in advance to allow time for any additional requirements.

When should I schedule a travel health certificate appointment?

Timing is critical for travel health certificates. Many certificates must be issued within a specific window before travel. International travel often requires additional planning and coordination.

We can help guide you on appropriate timing based on your destination and travel plans.

Are there additional considerations for international travel?

Yes. International travel may involve additional vaccinations, testing, permits, or government approval. Requirements can change and may vary by country. We will help review these considerations and guide you through the process as clearly as possible.
