Traveling internationally with your pet can be exciting but requires careful preparation. Each country has specific entry requirements that may include health certificates, vaccinations, blood tests, and sometimes quarantine. Requirements can vary widely depending on your destination(s), the airline you use, and the countries you pass through.

Please note: It is the pet owner’s responsibility to research and confirm all travel requirements well in advance with the relevant authorities and airlines. This includes any stopovers or connecting countries that may require additional documentation.

Relevant authorities may include:

The official government agency responsible for animal import/export in your destination country

Your airline’s pet travel department

Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or other national animal health agencies

At Homer Animal Hospital, we provide:

Official health certificates and export documents completed by our veterinarians

Necessary medical exams, vaccinations, and testing as specified by you based on your research

To ensure timely and accurate documentation, please provide us with all travel requirements before your appointment. We cannot guarantee travel eligibility or timing if incomplete or incorrect information is provided.

If you need guidance on where to start your research, we recommend contacting the authorities listed above.
