Our Pet Health Certificates
We now use GlobalVetLink.com for many of our health certificates, particularly to states than no longer accept the 7001 form. At this time the old-fashioned paper health certificates that we’ve used for years are no longer adequate for over half of the states in the USA. Unfortunately, by making them available online without a secure password, unscrupulous people have downloaded form 7001 and forged health certificates. Law-abiding citizens are now paying the price for the naughty folks who forged health certificates. You can see the map of the states that no longer accept form 7001 on the link: www.globalvetlink.com/news/changes-in-small-animal-movement-documents/
GlobalVetLink does all the research legwork for a particular destination so you don’t get detained at the gate while your plane leaves you and your pet behind because of new regulations.
Furthermore, individual states and countries have ever-changing rules for their governments. Our doctors take continuing education courses to renew our National Veterinary Accreditation continuing education every 3 years to act on behalf of the government in the transport of animals. The amount of legwork required to accurately fill out your pet’s health certificate has become a headache. It is a gift to clients to offer health certificates as being a nationally accredited veterinarian is voluntary. Many veterinarians don’t bother with the National Veterinary Accreditation Program!
Due to this changing landscape, Tequesta Vet Clinic now has an account with GlobalVetLink.com to ensure clients know exactly what is needed to travel with their pets. As you’d expect there is a hefty fee for GVL. Know that our mark-up is minimal and necessary to cover staff time to enter information and help clients navigate the site.
We ask the pet owner to go online to GVL Pet TravelPass | GVL (globalvetlink.com) to learn about requirements for individual states or countries.
TEQUESTA VET CLINIC NO LONGER DOES INTERNATIONAL HEALTH CERTIFICATES EXCEPT FOR THE BAHAMAS. WE WILL SIGN HEALTH CERTIFICATES TO THE BAHAMAS, BUT REQUIRE THE PET OWNER TO DO THE PRIOR LEGWORK.
