If you are planning to travel with your pet within the US, there may be certain pet health requirements specific to the state(s) that you will be visiting. BetterVet veterinarians are USDA-certified, can examine your pet in your home, and issue a health certificate for pet travel.
Note: An in-home visit is required for a Domestic Health Certificate. Depending on the state you plan to travel to, your pet may also need vaccines or lab tests (at an additional cost). We are not responsible for the deadlines or requirements of each travel destination. Please review USDA guidelines for more information.
Our veterinarians come to you, leaving you more time to pack and get your pet ready for travel.
We make it easy for you to obtain your pet travel health certificate by visiting you at your home. With so many things on your to-do list, transporting your pet to a veterinary clinic doesn’t have to be one of them.
Traveling with pets can be stressful enough, leave the driving to us and book a Domestic Health Certificate appointment in the comfort of home.
Our veterinarians are USDA-certified and equipped to assist with the regulatory process for traveling with a pet. Some states may need additional vaccinations, lab tests and a cat or dog health certificate signed by your veterinarian.
During an in-home visit, your veterinarian will review the requirements for traveling with your pet and make sure your pet is healthy for travel.
From start to finish, your veterinary team will guide you through the pet health certificate process for domestic travel.
To ensure that all state-specific requirements are met, it is recommended to book an appointment within 10 days of travel. Once your home visit is confirmed, a pet travel form will be sent via email to be completed before the appointment. This form is very important, as it will guide our discussion and the services required during the visit.
During your home visit, a veterinarian will give your pet a thorough checkup to make sure that your dog or cat is healthy enough to travel. Requirements may vary, depending on which state you are planning to travel to, but may include:
Up-to-date vaccines and boosters
A negative rabies test
Parasite prevention
Other lab tests
After receiving a satisfactory pet examination for travel and any other required services, a Domestic Health certificate may be issued by your veterinarian. This document certifies that your cat or dog is medically cleared to travel and free of transmissible conditions.

I am moving to Hawaii and they have a ton of documents and special requirements in order to bring my dog so I went online and saw a coupon for a mobile vet who does exactly what I need in order to get him ready to fly and live on the island. They came took care of everything and were very helpful. hopefully they will also be available in Hawaii if I need them in a mobile vet in the future. Thanks Orange County team
