International Travel Certificates

Pet Travel Certificates

Want to travel with your pet internationally? Shiloh Animal Hospital recommends Pawsitive Pet Health Certificates to help you and your pet get there!

To be able to take your pet on the plane or have it accepted as cargo, you will need a Flight Certificate. The health certificate needs to be submitted by an Accredited Veterinarian, a local veterinarian that APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) has approved to fill out international health certificates. Most of Shiloh’s veterinarians can do this step. Depending on where you’re going, the destination may have requirements about microchipping (sometimes specifically PRIOR to the Rabies vaccine) and up to date on the Rabies vaccine. They may also require that the accredited veterinarian administers an intestinal dewormer pill or flea/tick medication.

Therefore, your health certificate is a multi-step process:

• Step 1

  Exam by an accredited veterinarian at Shiloh Animal Hospital.

• Step 2

  Submission of application for health certificate by our accredited veterinarian to APHIS online.

• Step 3

  Review & approval by APHIS veterinarian.

Please keep in mind that APHIS can require up to 3 business days to endorse your certificate. Depending on your destination country, the certificate will either be returned to us as a digital endorsement, a PDF that we can mail to you to print out OR APHIS will mail a hard copy back to you via overnight courier.

All of this can be very confusing, so we recommend you connect with Pawsitive Pet Health Certificates to ensure it gets done in the right order, correctly, and eliminate stress from your experience.
