What is a pet passport?
Your pet's passport is essentially a travel document that combines their microchip ID, vaccination records, vet health certificate, and other official permits. This document ensures that your pet meets international regulations for travel, which may vary by destination country.
Without it, your pet may face lengthy quarantines, costly delays, or be denied entry. With a well-prepared pet passport, you protect your pet's health and ensure their documentation is fully compliant with local and international regulations.
How do we help you get a pet passport?
At the clinic, we'll handle all your pet's veterinary needs to complete their passport and health documents.

How long does it take to get a pet passport?
We can issue a pet passport on the same day your pet receives their vaccinations. If it’s your pet’s first vaccination round, the passport will be provided during that visit. However, this will be considered incomplete as the full course of vaccinations is required for travel.
If your pet is coming in for annual vaccinations and has lost their previous passport, we can issue a replacement at the same time.
Please note that travel timelines depend on the destination country. While the passport is generally valid as long as your pet’s vaccinations and parasite treatments are up to date, some countries may have additional requirements, such as rabies titer tests or specific health certificates.
