Health Certificates for Travel

If you are planning on traveling with your pet to another state, or internationally, your pet will likely require a domestic health certificate to prevent the spread of disease. A pet health certificate—or a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)—is a document that we fill out  to declare that your pet is disease-free and up-to-date on all the his or her needed vaccinations for travel. We will provide this to you after a through examination of your pet.

Airlines have their own pet travel requirements, and animal health requirements differ from state to state as well. If traveling by air, please check with your airline to see if they require a health certificate for travel with your pet. As soon as your travel dates are solidified, we encourage you to schedule an exam for a health certificate since most  certificates must be issued within 10 days of travel. Your pet must also be at least eight (8) weeks old and fully weaned before travel is advised.

If you have additional questions on health certificates and pet travel for your circumstances, visit the USDA - Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

As always, you can also contact us for any assistance and any questions you may have.

They took care of our pup since the day we brought him home until we moved too far away (8 years!) Couldn’t recommend enough. Incredibly caring and patient.

— Tyler B.

Amazing vet and the entire staff! Very informative staff and go above and beyond with their patients and the owners. Would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a quality and caring vet practice!

— Anahy R.

I have been going to this clinic for 24 years. I think that tells you all you
need to know.

— Alex T.

Everyone from the receptionist, the vet techs to the Doctors are so helpful, professional and knowledgeable. My dogs and I feel so comfortable and trust them so much! Dr. Sokol was able to identify a rare disease that my new dog had and established a new diet and treatment plan ASAP. The communication of this plan was perfect and the plan has worked wonders for my dog. I will continue to be a loyal client for years to come.

— Wendy M.

I've been bringing my pets to North Springs Animal Clinic since I moved to Sandy Springs 12 years ago. My pets get great care here. The office staff and the vets are wonderful. I know they really care about my furbabies.
