● Find a USDA-accredited vet near you

2,246 accredited clinic locations across California. Only a subset actually do international certs.

● Honest field note
“USDA-accredited doesn’t mean international experience.”

Every clinic here has at least one USDA-accredited vet — authorized to issue health certificates, and verified by us. But only a subset actively handles international cert work, and even fewer know the requirements for your destination. Call ahead to confirm — the call script at the bottom of this page saves you the runaround.

Or skip the cold calls — the $29 readiness analysis ships a pre-screened shortlist within 80 miles of your ZIP, matched to your destination’s paperwork.

What the badges mean: USDA Cat I = accredited for companion animals (dogs, cats). Cat II = accredited for all species, livestock included. Either category can sign your pet’s international health certificate — it’s a scope difference, not a skill ranking.

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.”
