Preparing for Pet Travel

You’ll want to bring your pet for a pre-travel check-up, both for peace of mind as well as for logistic concerns. After all vaccinations are up to date, ask your veterinarian to give you a health certificate which clearly states that your pet is healthy, fit to travel, and has received all necessary vaccinations, and then don’t forget to bring this certificate with you on your journey.
