What is a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)?
The document behind the phrase “pet health certificate,” who completes it, and what it confirms.
Pet travel health certificate coordination
Book the right vet for your pet’s travel health certificate.
Complete one simple intake. CVI Ready does the searching, verifies the clinic actually provides the travel certificate service, schedules the appointment around your availability, and coordinates the records you upload.

Your pet’s travel shouldn’t depend on finding the right vet appointment.
Your regular veterinarian may not issue travel health certificates. Other clinics may be booked, may not accept new patients, or may not handle the type of certificate your trip requires. CVI Ready takes the clinic search and scheduling off your plate.
My vet doesn't do CVIs
Not every clinic issues travel certificates. We look elsewhere.
I'm running out of time
Rush handling is available when travel is days away.
I don't know who to call
We verify the requested service before booking anything.
Skip the clinic search. We’ll coordinate it for you.
Doing it yourself
- Search for veterinarians
- Ask whether they handle travel CVIs

Coordination for the way your pet is traveling
Interstate pet requirements are established by the receiving state or territory and can include health certificates, vaccinations, testing, or treatments.
Professional ground transport
When a transporter requires current veterinary travel documentation before pickup.
Interstate relocation
For pets moving between states where travel documentation needs to be coordinated.
Air travel
When an airline or shipping arrangement requires veterinary documentation before departure.
Military moves
For PCS timelines where appointment availability matters.
Breeders & adoption
For pets traveling to a new home or receiving organization.
Multi-pet moves
Coordinate multiple pets through one booking whenever possible.
You gather the records. We handle the phone calls.
Most owners already have the rabies certificate and vaccination history somewhere. The hard part is finding a clinic that issues travel health certificates, has an opening inside your window, and will take your pet as a patient. That is the part we do.
