Navigating Pet Travel with Comprehensive Health Certificates

Stress-Free Pet Travel

When planning your pet’s interstate or international travel, ensuring their well-being is paramount. At Northwood Animal Hospital, we’re dedicated to helping you obtain the necessary health certificates and information for a seamless and worry-free journey.

Florida Law and Health Certificates

If you plan to sell a litter of puppies or kittens, Florida law mandates that a health certificate for sale be issued by a licensed veterinarian in Florida. This certificate requires that the animals are up-to-date on vaccines, deworming, and free from infectious diseases and intestinal parasites. Any health concerns will also be documented on the certificate.
