What is an International Health Certificate?
An international health certificate is an official document, issued by a USDA-accredited veterinarian and endorsed by the USDA, certifying that your pet is healthy and meets the import requirements of your destination country. Dr. Blake Hefter is USDA-accredited and experienced in preparing certificates for destinations across Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and beyond.
