Before calling us

Have your destination, departure date, airline or transportation method, and your pet’s vaccination and identification records available. International destinations may involve additional testing, treatments, endorsements or waiting periods.

Do not wait until the week of travel

Some requirements must be completed in a specific sequence or within a defined time window. Contact our team as soon as travel is being considered so we can determine whether Treeline can complete the required documentation and help you plan the visit.

Is one health certificate valid everywhere?

No. Requirements depend on the destination and type of travel and can change. The applicable rules must be confirmed for each trip.

Does my pet need an examination?

Health certificates generally require a veterinary examination within a specified time frame. Our team will explain the timing relevant to your trip.
