Pet Travel Health Certificate (HC) Process
A clear step-by-step breakdown of how your pet’s USDA Health Certificate is prepared, reviewed, endorsed, and returned.
STEP ONE: Document Prep & Upload
Our team prepares and uploads all required documents to the USDA VEHCS portal for your veterinarian to review. This ensures accuracy and reduces delays during USDA endorsement.
STEP TWO: Vet Examination
Your veterinarian scans the microchip, performs the physical exam, logs into VEHCS, reviews our documentation packet, and submits everything directly to USDA.
STEP THREE: USDA Endorsement
USDA reviews the submission, may request changes, and once approved, prints, embosses, and officially endorses the certificate.
STEP FOUR: Delivery to Owner
The endorsed packet is returned via FedEx or delivered digitally depending on destination requirements and airline preferences.
Common Pet Travel Documentation Mistakes to Avoid
These are the most frequent errors that delay departures or cause pets to be denied entry. Our team ensures your documents are accurate and compliant.
Missing or Incorrect Microchip Information
The microchip must be ISO-compliant and scanned before every rabies vaccine. Incorrect numbers or scan failures cause immediate rejections.
Expired or Incorrect Rabies Vaccination Dates
Rabies timing rules vary by country. Even a one-day error can invalidate your health certificate.
Vet Errors in VEHCS Submission
Many veterinarians are unfamiliar with USDA VEHCS rules. Incorrect uploads or missing fields delay endorsement.
Booking Travel Before Confirming Requirements
Some destinations require months of preparation (AU/NZ/SG/JP). Never book flights before confirming timelines.
