When you are traveling on public transportation with your pet, your pet must be examined by a veterinarian each year. Veterinarians can now offer an electronic health certificate for dogs and cats. Electronic health certificates are extremely accessible and convenient. Instead of searching for a piece of paper or waiting for the paper to be sent in the mail, it can be distributed instantly.
Who Offers Electronic Health Certifications?
If you are searching for an electronic health certificate for dogs, you should first start by calling your local veterinarian. Your veterinarian may offer an electronic option. If they do not have this capability, many veterinarians have moved their information to electronic databases. Electronic databases are protected with a tremendous amount of cybersecurity to protect your animal’s information.
Why Carry a Health Certificate?
A health certificate for cats and dogs verifies that the animal is up to date on its shots and in good health. There are different times you will be required to present a health certificate. For example, if you are traveling on public transportation, you will need a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian.
Dog and cat daycares or boarding facilities also require a health certificate. If your pet is missing vaccinations, a veterinarian will require your animal to have these vaccinations before administering a health certificate. Daycares and boarding schools want verification that your pet is in good health before allowing the animal into the facility around their employees and other animals.
