● Find a USDA-accredited vet

2246 accredited clinic locations across California. Only a subset actually do international certs.

● Honest field note

“USDA-accredited doesn’t mean international experience.”

All 2246clinic locations below have at least one publicly listed USDA-accredited vet — they’re authorized to issue health certificates. Realistically only a subset actively handles international cert work, and even fewer know the requirements for any given destination. Call ahead to confirm.

Registry source: USDA NVAP directory + clinic sites — LA County last verified May 2026, the rest of California June 2026.

Or skip the cold calls — the $29 readiness analysis includes a pre-screened vet shortlist within 80 miles of your ZIP.

Cut through the front desk

Most front desks will say “we’re USDA-accredited” without telling you whether the actual vet on staff handles international certs. Cut through it:

“Hi — I’m moving my [dog/cat] to [destination country] and I need an international health certificate. Do you have a vet on staff who actually handles international certs — specifically for [destination] — and submits via VEHCS to APHIS? I’m happy to wait for them to call me back.”
