*Effective April 8th of 2024: Companion Animal Clinic will require clients to work with a certified Pet Travel Agent or similar document preparation service when planning travel to Hawaii or any international destination with their pets.
These destinations have highly specific and time-sensitive health certificate requirements that must be precisely followed to ensure safe and successful entry. To minimize errors and avoid delays, we are no longer able to accommodate certificate preparation for these locations without the assistance of a professional pet travel service.
This policy applies to any travel outside of the lower 48 states, including:
Our team will continue to perform the required exams and vaccinations, but the coordination and paperwork must be handled through a travel document specialist.
If you need help locating a qualified pet travel agent, we’re happy to provide recommendations.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
