Health Certificates

Travel With Confidence—We’ll Handle the Paperwork

Planning to travel with your pet? Whether you’re crossing state lines or flying overseas, most destinations require an official health certificate to ensure your pet is fit for travel. At Cumberland Animal Hospital, we provide both interstate and international pet health certificates, helping make your journey safe, legal, and stress-free.

What Is a Health Certificate for Pets

A health certificate—also known as a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)—is a legal document completed by an accredited veterinarian. It confirms that your pet is healthy, free of contagious diseases, and up to date on required vaccinations.

The certificate will typically include:

• A physical exam by an accredited veterinarian
• Verification of rabies and other required vaccinations
• Microchip number (for international travel)
• Documentation of parasite prevention
• Flight- or country-specific requirements (if applicable)

Interstate Travel Requirements

Many U.S. states require a health certificate for pets entering across state lines, especially by air. Our team is familiar with the regulations and timelines and will ensure your paperwork is accurate and accepted at your destination.

International Pet Travel Support

International travel with pets can be complex, with requirements that vary by country and often include specific timing, microchipping, vaccinations, and USDA endorsement. We’ll guide you through the entire process and ensure your pet’s paperwork meets all entry requirements.

Some countries require planning months in advance, so we recommend scheduling a consultation as soon as possible.

Make Travel Simple and Safe

Whether you’re relocating, taking a vacation, or flying with your pet for the first time, Cumberland Animal Hospital is here to help. We’ll make sure your furry companion is ready to go—on paper and in person.
