Important Travel Information
Travel requirements for pets can vary significantly from country to country and even from state to state. To ensure a smooth experience for you and your pet, it’s essential to thoroughly research the specific regulations for your destination. Additionally, don’t forget to check the requirements for returning to your home country, as these may differ as well. Keep in mind that airlines may also have their own specific requirements.
Planning Ahead
Some regulations may necessitate preparations months in advance. We recommend starting your research early to avoid any last-minute complications. Our health certificates are sent for USDA endorsement, which can also take time, so planning ahead is key.
Microchip Requirements
All pets must be microchipped with an ISO-compliant microchip. This is crucial, as microchips must be in place before rabies vaccinations to be considered valid for travel.
At Rose City Veterinary Hospital, we strive to assist our clients and make the travel process as smooth as possible. Your research and preparation are vital to ensuring a successful outcome.
Please visit the USDA website for regulations and requirements for the specific country you are planning to travel to, as they may require specific testing prior to your visit:
You can also contact the regional USDA-APHIS-VS office at (310) 725-1070.
For air travel, we recommend that you contact your airline directly, as well as the specific state or country you are traveling to, for detailed regulations and requirements. Each airline may have its own policies, and requirements can vary significantly depending on your destination. Ensuring you have the correct information ahead of time will help make your journey smoother.
