What Is a Pet Health Certificate?

A pet health certificate, also called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), is an official document that confirms your pet is healthy and free from contagious diseases. Airlines, states, and foreign countries often require this paperwork. Our veterinary team ensures your pet is ready to travel without surprises.

When You’ll Need One

Pets typically need a health certificate in these situations:

  • Domestic Travel: Many states require proof of vaccinations and overall wellness before allowing pets to enter.
  • International Travel: Each country has its own rules; vaccinations, parasite treatments, and microchipping are commonly required.

How We Can Help

At Edgewater Animal Hospital, we will provide a comprehensive assessment to ensure your pet is ready for any journey.

Physical Exam

We check your pet from nose to tail to confirm overall health and identify any concerns.

Vaccination & Deworming Review

Ensuring all required vaccines and deworming are up to date based on your travel destination.

Be Ready for Your Appointment

A little preparation goes a long way:

  • Know the travel requirements for your destination.
  • Bring any vaccination or medical records you have (if your pet sees a different veterinary clinic or hospital).
  • Schedule your visit well in advance of your departure.
  • Let us know about any special health needs your pet may have.
