Going abroad with your dog or cat?
Whether you’re traveling domestically or internationally, most destinations require a valid health certificate for your pet. Lefferts Animal Hospital offers USDA-accredited health certificates and can help guide you through the travel process.
USDA Domestic & International Pet Health Certificates
Our team is experienced in preparing both domestic and international travel documents and will work with you to ensure your pet meets all the requirements for your destination. Contact our team to obtain a pet travel certificate in Richmond Hill.
If you’re traveling internationally, additional documentation, vaccines, microchipping, or testing may be required—and timelines can vary depending on where you’re going.
