Please Note

If you and your pet are traveling to a country that does NOT have posted requirements on the USDA’s site, we cannot issue a health certificate.

Please look up your destination country in Step 2 of this USDA site.

CDC Requirement Updates

As of August 1, 2025, if a pet travels to a high-risk rabies country, a new form must be completed and sent to the USDA for endorsement prior to the pet leaving the U.S. This is required to ensure the pet can return to the U.S.

For this paperwork, the following are required:

– A microchip

– Documentation of rabies vaccinations over the past 3 years after microchip implantation

You can find more detailed information here on the CDC website.
