In-Home Domestic Pet Travel Health Certificates
When traveling with your pet within the US, there are certain pet health requirements specific to your travel destination. Some states require an examination by a USDA-accredited veterinarian, up-to-date vaccinations, lab testing, and the issuance of an endorsed domestic pet health travel certificate, also called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. BetterVet veterinarians are USDA-accredited and equipped to provide health certificates for pet travel. For travel to Hawaii, choose International Health Certificate.

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
Frequently Asked Questions
After receiving a satisfactory pet examination for travel, a pet travel 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. Requirements may vary, depending on which state you are planning to travel to, but may include:
- Up-to-date vaccines and boosters
- A rabies test
- Other lab tests
We recommend that you book your Dometic Health Certificate appointment within 10 days of travel. If you are traveling domestically to a state that requires one, you will need to have a cat or dog’s health certificate, which may include vaccination records and lab test results, signed by your veterinarian.
Even if the state you are visiting does not mandate it, most airlines will require that a pet health certificate be issued within 10 days of travel. Federal regulations also state that any pet traveling on a domestic airline needs to be at least 8 weeks old and have been weaned from their mother at least 5 days before flying. For more information about flying with your pet, please refer to the Federal Aviation Administration’s guidelines.
