PetSmart Veterinary Services: Georgetown offers international health certificate services to help facilitate your pet’s travel abroad. Whether relocating to a new country or embarking on an overseas adventure, our experienced team is here to assist you every step of the way.
Getting Your Pet’s Passport
An international health certificate, also known as an international travel certificate or pet passport, is an official document issued by a licensed veterinarian certifying that your pet meets the health requirements for entry into a specific country. These certificates typically include information about your pet’s vaccinations, health status, microchip identification, and any required tests or treatments for specific diseases or parasites.
Dr. Jones is USDA-accredited and experienced in the complex process of international health certificates. If you plan to travel with your pet, we suggest checking out the USDA’s website for detailed information about traveling between states or to and from other countries. Please note that getting an international travel certificate to certain countries like Japan can take months due to Rabies titer requirements, so we advise contacting us at PetSmart Veterinary Services: Georgetown as soon as you have travel plans.
