Domestic Health Certificates

Pet Health Certificates in baltimore, md

When traveling with a pet within the United States (all 50) and Puerto Rico, you are only required to obtain an interstate (domestic) health certificate for your pet. Health certificates are only good for 30 days (and in many cases shorter), so plan accordingly!

Talk to your airline! Important questions to ask are:

  • What is the cost of travel?
  • Will your pet travel in the plane with your or down below in the luggage area?
  • How long they will honor your pet’s health certificate?
    • Although the health certificate says it is valid for 30 days, some airlines only honor the certificate for 3 days.
  • Will your pet be prohibited from traveling during certain months out of the year and certain times of the day?
    • This is due to concerns of temperature and heatstroke.
  • Does the airline has restrictions on the type and size of carrier that can be used?

Feel free to call us if you have any questions regarding your pets upcoming travel and any needs for the comfort of their journey.

Five Stars at Doc·Side Vet

DocSide has been my vet for 16+ years through 3 dogs. I can't imagine finding an office or vet that cares more about their patients or clients than Dr. Tierney and the team. They have always gone above and beyond to give the best care possible, with all factors in mind, and are THE best.

I've been taking my cats to Doc Side since they were babies, and always had good experiences. Most recently, I had a bad scare, they got me in immediately, no waiting throughout the process, and every staff member was extremely kind and helpful. That is huge to have support in a potential animal crisis.

I was so pleased with my experience at Doc Side vet. As a new patient and new dog owner, my vet and tech took the time to answer my questions and do a thorough check up on my new pup! Thank you!

I have been going here for a few years and I have never had any problems! They are really nice, quick, and good at keeping my pets calm! They were very gentle with my two cats! Definitely recommend!!
