Dog & Cat Health Certificates
Health certificates confirm that your pet is healthy, up to date on required vaccines, and cleared for travel or transfer. In Florida, these certificates are required for pet sales and most forms of travel, and additional rules may apply depending on where you’re going.
During your visit, we perform a thorough physical exam and review your pet’s vaccination history to make sure everything meets current guidelines. If your pet needs vaccines, lab work, or preventive updates, those services can often be completed during the same appointment.
Every destination has its own rules, and some require weeks or months of preparation. We recommend scheduling your health certificate appointment as early as possible so there’s time to complete everything properly and avoid last-minute stress.
We assist with health certificates for:
-
Travel within Florida and to other states
-
International travel
-
Pet sales or ownership transfers
-
Airline and destination-specific requirements
Microchipping for Cats and Dogs
Microchipping is a simple step that provides lifelong identification for your pet and is often required for international travel. Even for pets that stay close to home, microchips add an extra layer of security.
The process is quick and safe, similar to a routine injection. Once implanted, the microchip lasts for life. After placement, the chip is registered to your contact information so it can be scanned and identified anywhere.
Microchipping is helpful because it:
Is required by many countries for international entry
Provides permanent identification that can’t be misplaced
Helps shelters and veterinary hospitals reunite lost pets with their families
Supports proof of ownership
Offers peace of mind when traveling or moving
