At Canine Companion Clinic, we help ensure your dog meets vaccination, health, and regulatory requirements so you can travel or arrange boarding with peace of mind.
Why does my dog need travel or boarding documentation?
Most airlines, pet-friendly accommodations, and boarding facilities require proof of vaccinations, health clearances, and sometimes additional documentation. Having up-to-date paperwork helps prevent travel delays, denied boarding, or health risks for your dog and others.
How do I know what documentation my dog needs?
Requirements vary depending on the destination, mode of travel, or boarding facility. Your veterinarian can provide guidance on what forms, certificates, or lab results are required and help ensure everything is completed correctly.
What does a travel and boarding appointment include?
During a documentation appointment, we will review your dog’s vaccination and health history, perform any required physical exams or testing, and complete the necessary certificates or forms. We ensure all documentation meets regulatory standards and is signed by a licensed veterinarian.
It’s best to schedule documentation appointments several weeks before travel or boarding, as some vaccinations, health tests, or lab results may take time. Early preparation helps avoid last-minute complications and ensures your dog is ready on time.
Can you help with international travel requirements?
Yes. For international travel, requirements may include rabies vaccination, health certificates, microchip verification, and parasite testing. Our team can guide you through the process, provide the necessary paperwork, and answer questions to help your dog meet entry requirements.
How do I ensure my dog's documentation is accepted?
All forms must be completed accurately, signed by a licensed veterinarian, and submitted according to the travel or boarding organization’s specifications. We double-check documentation to help prevent errors or delays and provide guidance on submission or certification requirements.
