Ep. 78 - Health Certificates/Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for International Travel - Show Notes

Moving to another country is a major transition in life. Including your pet in such a move presents its own set of challenges. Fulfilling the requirements for pet travel often requires multiple documents, including a country-specific international health certificate that is completed by a USDA approved veterinarian.

Dr. Nelva Bryant serves Delta Air Lines as the industry’s first in-house veterinarian. Her role with Delta involves reviewing and revising policies related to the transportation of live animals. She is also the founder of When Pets Fly, a company leading the way to educate pet parents, veterinarians and the airline industry in best travel practices. She is the perfect guest to walk our listeners through the process of flying with our pets.
