Pet Health Certificates for Domestic & International Travel
Planning to travel with your pet? Lone Mountain Animal Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada, helps pet owners prepare for domestic and international travel by providing veterinary health certificate examinations.
Whether you’re traveling within the United States, visiting Hawaii, or heading overseas, it’s important to understand your pet’s travel requirements before your departure.
We’ve partnered with Pawsitive Pet Health Certificates (PPHC) to help simplify the process and guide pet owners through the necessary preparations and documentation.
What Is a Pet Health Certificate?
A pet health certificate is a document completed by a veterinarian that provides information about your pet’s health for travel purposes. Depending on your destination, your pet may need a veterinary examination, vaccinations, testing, treatments, or additional documentation.
Some international destinations also require USDA endorsement of health certificates. Because requirements vary by destination, it’s important to begin preparing well in advance.
Our partnership with Pawsitive Pet Health Certificates helps pet owners navigate these requirements before scheduling their health certificate examination at Lone Mountain Animal Hospital.
