International Health Certificates
Traveling with Your Pet? We’ve Got You Covered!
At Society Hill Veterinary Hospital, we understand that your pets are part of the family, and you want them with you wherever you go – even internationally. Traveling with pets requires careful planning, especially when it comes to meeting the health requirements of your destination country. That’s where our International Health Certificate services come in.
What is an International Health Certificate?
An International Health Certificate is an official document required by many countries to ensure that your pet is healthy and free from contagious diseases before they are allowed entry. This certificate is essential for international travel and must be completed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian.
