International Pet Travel Health Certificates(USDA-Accredite)

Traveling with your pet? We’ve got you covered.

At Bayshore Veterinary Clinic, we are USDA-accredited and fully equipped to help you navigate the process of international pet travel. Whether you're moving abroad or planning a vacation with your furry friend, our team ensures your pet meets all the health and documentation requirements of your destination country.

An International Health Certificate, also known as a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), is an official document completed by a USDA-accredited veterinarian. It confirms that your pet is healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and meets all the import requirements of the country you’re traveling to.
