Dog / pet health and acclimation certificate?
I plan on taking my dog to NJ by plane from CA. I read that NJ requires a pet health certificate. How much does it usually cost?
Since the temperature will be below 45F, AA requires an acclimation certificate. What’s involved in getting one of these? Will the vet need to put my dog in a refrigerator for a while or what? How will they know that my dog can withstand 20-45F temperatures?
For those in LA, can you recommend a vet for this air travel business?
The vet decides the price. They examine the dog and fill out the certificate. It is at the cost they charge. Usually, the vet can attest to the dogs fitness to travel in the temps needed. If it is a small breed puppy, the vet may not say that it is fit to travel in the mentioned temps. And large, hary coated dogs may not be fit to fly in high temps.
Make an appointment with a vet that can do the certificate and they will have all the answers!!!
