What we offer

Travel health certificates
for domestic & international trips.

A health certificate documents a veterinary examination and may be required by an airline, destination state, or destination country. International travel often has additional documentation, testing, treatment, microchip, and endorsement requirements.

The requirements vary significantly depending on where you're going, how you're traveling, and what species your pet is. We help clients navigate many common pet-travel scenarios. Call us early with your destination, travel date, airline, and pet's species so we can review the current requirements that apply to your trip.

USDA-accredited veterinarian
USDA accreditation is required for many international animal-health documents and endorsement workflows. Dr. Masood is USDA-accredited; the exact certificate, timing, and acceptance requirements still depend on the destination, airline, species, and current rules.

Types of health certificates we issue

Domestic travel
Some airlines and destinations require a current health certificate for domestic travel. Timing rules vary, so confirm your airline's and destination's requirements before scheduling.
International travel
Destination countries have their own specific requirements — vaccinations, parasite treatments, microchipping, USDA endorsement, and more. Requirements vary significantly by country.
USDA endorsement
Many countries require the USDA to authenticate the veterinarian's certificate. We coordinate this process so you don't have to navigate it alone.
Dogs, cats & select exotics
Requirements vary by species as well as destination. Call us with your pet's species and travel plans so we can confirm whether we can complete the required certificate.

Call us as early as possible
