Traveling With You Pet?

Whether or not to travel with you pet can at times be a complicated decision. Safety for your pet is your number one concern followed by the inconvenience versus pleasure of having your pet with you. If you decide to leave your pet at home, we can provide a safe and professional environment to look after your furry friend. See our Boarding section

If you plan to fly with your dog or cat, each airline has its own regulations and a good website to access all the airlines is pettravel.com.

If you are going to cross international borders with your pet this web site (aphis.usda.gov)will help with international travel regulations.

Should you sedate your pet? Generally, if your dog or cat travels well in the car, he or she will not need sedation. If you think that there will be too much anxiety, please arrange a consultation with Dr. Carlson.

Health Certificates are often needed and as a federally accredited veterinarian, Dr. Carlson can issue either international or national health certificates.
