Pet Health Certificate

INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CERTIFICATE
Most countries including those of the European Union now have a veterinary health certificate that is specific to their country. Click here for these forms.
If there is not a health certificate for the country you are visiting, then you should use the International Health Certificate USDA-APHIS 7001 form. It is officially known as "United States Interstate and International Certificate of Health Examination for Small Animals." This form is available from your veterinarian.
Some countries require that these health certificates be certified by the USDA - see USDA certification.
