What Are Pet Travel Exams?
Different airlines and destination countries have different requirements, so be sure to read up on what’s needed before visiting your vet. By notifying your veterinarian of your travel plans early on, they will be able to help you research requirements and verify your pet’s health before the trip.
Pet travel exams are similar to regular physical exams, but they have specific testing requirements to ensure your pet’s health and safety prior to travel. These tests and procedures are not limited to but may include blood tests, vaccinations, microchipping, permits, and Health Certificates.
At Mount Airy Veterinary Associates, we have USDA-accredited veterinarians that are able to prepare and sign government documentation to enable your pet to travel abroad with you! Also, let us know if your airline requires a Health Certificate for domestic travel. We are happy to provide one at the time of your visit.
