Domestic pet travel · San Dimas

Moving or flying with your pet? Check the paperwork first.

Packing for a move or a flight with your dog or cat? Find out what your destination and airline ask for, then get veterinary help with a health certificate if one is needed.

A request does not confirm an appointment or that your pet is ready to travel.

A clear place to start.

From your travel plans to the right veterinary next step.

  1. Check your trip’s rules

    Check the receiving state or territory’s requirements and your airline’s policy. Flying, driving and cabin or cargo travel may have different paperwork needs.

  2. Share where and when

    If a certificate is needed, or you’re unsure, send your destination, departure date and dog or cat’s details for the team to review.

  3. Arrange the right visit

    The clinic discusses the next steps and exam timing with you. Bring existing vaccination records and any paperwork your carrier has requested.

Before you travel

Does every domestic trip need a health certificate?
No. Some domestic trips do not require a health certificate. Requirements depend on the destination state or territory and the carrier. A flight ticket alone does not tell you which documents your pet needs.
What if we’re driving instead of flying?
Driving does not remove a destination’s animal-entry requirements. Check the receiving state or territory’s official guidance. Share your plans with the clinic if you need help reviewing the veterinary paperwork.
Can I use a recent wellness exam?
A wellness exam is not itself an official travel certificate. Whether another exam or document is needed depends on the applicable rules and timing. Share existing records before arranging a certificate visit.
