Pet travel can initially seem complex due to the various requirements and regulations involved. One essential requirement is obtaining a pet health certificate, which has replaced the traditional pet passport.
The animal health certificate is issued after a thorough examination by a Toronto North Animal Hospital veterinarian, who must sign the necessary paperwork to verify your pet’s health record. This certificate confirms your pet’s good health and is only provided after all required examinations.

Why Pet Health Certificates Matter?

If you’re thinking about taking your pet on an international trip, there are some important things to remember as you get ready. One of these is the need for a health certificate. This certificate shows that a veterinarian has checked your pet and found it healthy, without parasites or contagious illnesses.

It’s crucial to know that different countries have their own rules, and they usually insist on a health certificate that’s meant just for their country. They can also decide to isolate or not let in any pet that doesn’t have the right health certificate. So, ensure you have the right paperwork before your trip.

What Information is Included in the Pet Health Certificate?

Each health certificate we issue contains vital details about your pet, including its name, breed, colour, age, and contact information. Following a comprehensive checkup, the certificate confirms your pet’s fitness for travel. It also provides proof of recent vaccinations and includes your pet’s microchip number. It’s important to research the specific vaccination requirements of the country you plan to visit, as these may vary. Additionally, some destinations may require recent blood tests and veterinary parasite treatments.
