FLYING WITH YOUR PET

Did you know that taking your pet on a flight will require a health certificate?

As a USDA certified veterinarian, Dr. Wellington can issue both domestic and international health certificates.

A health certificate is a signed document your veterinarian gives you after a full physical exam. This document states that your pet is healthy to fly.

Pippa reached her final destination after receiving her Health Certificate from Dr. Wellington.

There's two types of health certificates:
-Domestic (flights within the US)
-International (flights to other countries). Every country has their own requirements at the port entry, therefore you as a pet owner are responsible to gather all the information, bring additional documents and tell your veterinarian what the country requires. ​

For more information, contact the consulate of the country you are traveling to.

If flying to Europe, download the necessary European Union forms at: www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals/
