What Are Health Certificates?
A health certificate, also known as a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI), is an official document that verifies your pet is healthy and up-to-date on all required vaccinations and treatments. This certificate is essential for pets traveling to other states or foreign countries, as it demonstrates compliance with the destination’s animal import regulations.
