Veterinary travel documentation that may be required depending on the receiving jurisdiction, pet, purpose of movement, transport method, and current government or carrier rules, with Snout Route guidance focused on U.S. interstate and U.S.–Canada ground travel.
A pet health certificate, often called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) for interstate movement, is a veterinary travel document used for certain pet moves. For interstate travel, the receiving state or territory sets the animal-entry requirements; airline rules can add a separate documentation layer; and U.S.–Canada requirements vary by species, age, purpose, and travel circumstances.

For a typical non-commercial pet dog coming from the U.S. to Canada, age, accompaniment, and purpose of entry determine the paperwork.

Snout Route decision guide explaining in-cabin pet travel, checked and airline cargo considerations, carrier and breed restrictions, health-certificate timing, CDC dog-entry requirements, and ground transport as an alternative for road-accessible routes.
Air travel can be the right choice for some pets, especially when a small dog or cat qualifies for the passenger cabin. When checked or cargo transport is the only airline option, pet owners should review the current airline, DOT, USDA APHIS, CDC and IATA requirements and compare those tradeoffs with door-to-door ground transport.
