When to use this form
Use this template when you need a vet-signed record to show vaccines, exam dates, and fitness to travel or board. It is essential for airline trips, crossing state lines, moving, or enrolling in daycare. Shelters and sellers use it during adoption or sale so new owners start with clear medical history. To keep details accurate, you can attach your Pet information form. If you are rehoming, pair the certificate with a Transfer of dog ownership form so records follow the dog. Some classes may also ask for proof of shots alongside your Dog training form. The result: fewer delays, safer travel, and a complete, professional file.
Must Ask Dog Health Certificate Questions
- What are the dog's full identification details (name, breed, age, sex, color) and microchip or tattoo number?
This ties the certificate to the correct animal and prevents mix-ups at check-in or during a sale. Unique IDs make it easy to match your dog to vaccination and test records.
- Which vaccinations are current, with dates, product names, and lot numbers (e.g., rabies, distemper/parvo)?
Many states, airlines, and boarding facilities require specific vaccines with valid dates. Recording product and lot numbers supports traceability and speeds your approval.
- What parasite prevention and disease test results are documented, including heartworm status and recent fecal exam?
These details show your dog is not carrying common parasites or infectious risks. Clear results help your vet advise on next steps if travel is delayed.
- Has a licensed veterinarian examined the dog within the required timeframe and found no signs of illness?
A time-bound exam (often 10 days for air travel) is a common rule and protects animal welfare. Documenting fitness to travel reduces your risk of denied boarding or quarantine.
- Who is the legal owner, what is the destination and travel method, and are there any import rules to meet?
Linking owner responsibility with route details ensures the certificate matches the right rules. If ownership needs confirmation, attach an Ownership declaration form.
