Health Certificate Support for Pet Travel

International pet travel involves more than booking a flight.

Many countries require specific veterinary records, vaccinations, treatments, laboratory tests, government-issued certificates, and strict timing before a pet can enter.

Missing one detail—or completing a step outside the required window—can create costly delays.

Paw Paws Express helps pet parents understand the documentation side of the journey before travel day arrives. We start by reviewing your destination, travel plans, and your pet’s available medical history.

From there, we outline the requirements that apply to your trip and organize them into a clear plan for you and your veterinarian.

Our health certificate support can include:

• A destination-specific travel and documentation checklist.
• Guidance on required vaccinations, microchips, tests, treatments, and timelines.
• Appointment instructions for your veterinary team.
• Review of records and supporting documents before submission.Assistance preparing international health certificate paperwork.
• Guidance through the USDA endorsement process when it is required.
• Ongoing support as departure approaches.

No two pet trips are exactly alike. Requirements can vary based on the destination, the pet’s species and age, the country where the pet has recently lived, the airline, and the intended travel date. We help you turn those moving pieces into an organized, manageable process.

Our role is to help you arrive at your veterinary appointment prepared, reduce preventable paperwork issues, and give your pet’s travel documents the attention they deserve.

With a plan in place, you can spend less time sorting through government requirements and more time getting ready for the move, vacation, or new beginning ahead.
