Health Certificate

Dr. Chung is USDA-certified and accredited to provide domestic and international Health Certificates for pets (dogs, cats, and exotic/pocket pets) traveling from one state to another, or to foreign countries, as well as “Category II” animals, including birds and mini-pigs. Why get a Certificate of Health? 

1. Most U.S. states and foreign countries require a signed Certificate of Health provided by your veterinarian, along with a current Rabies Certificate, before arriving in that state or country.  

Is it easy? 

1. The process may be simple or complex—it all depends on the requirements of each destination.

Is it fast? 

1. Be sure to give your pet enough time to meet the important requirements of each destination. Japan, for example, requires at least 180 days between the rabies antibody titer test and your pet’s arrival into the country. 

What about pets on planes? 

1. Be sure to verify that your pets and their restraints or confinement satisfies individual airline requirements and restrictions.
