Dr. Legato is a federally accredited veterinarian, which means he can prepare and sign government documentation to enable your pet to travel abroad with you! Because each country has different requirements, you must be sure to do your research and double-check that you have requested the appropriate signatures from the hospital. You are responsible for scheduling appointments to meet your travel requirements and providing the hospital with the proper information and forms.
There are legal requirements to complete for the hospital to process your request for a health certificate, and often the process can be time-consuming. Some countries require a 30-day preparation window, so plan accordingly.
Whether you are traveling internationally or domestically, each state and country has its own specifications for travel requirements, and depending on where you are headed you may need a CVI or an IHC.
It’s vital that you read through the requirements thoroughly. We ask that you research your travel requirements before your appointment with us and request the appropriate documentation. You are responsible for ordering all forms listed in the travel guidelines- all of which should be researched before your veterinary appointment.
