Veterinary Accreditation

Accreditation is a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that deputizes licensed veterinarians to perform regulatory functions on behalf of the Pennsylvania and the USDA. 

Dr. Peter Herman is an accredited veterinarian permitted to sign both domestic and international health certificates for dogs and cats traveling domestically and internationally.

 

International (USA to Another Country)

If you are planning to transport your dog or cat to another country, you will need an international health certificate. Please make your plans and consider that it could take three to four weeks to get the international health certificate in your hands once it is approved and stamped in Harrisburg. It is your responsibility to check with the country you are traveling to and find out if they require additional documentation, requirements or restrictions. You may also need a temperature tolerance certificate for the airline if you are flying your pet.

Domestic (from State to State)

Most domestic airlines require a domestic health certificate for transportation from one State to another. A domestic health certificate does not require the waiting time and can be issued at the time of the examination. You may also need a temperature tolerance certificate for the airline if you are flying your pet. You will need to check with the specific airline.
