Out of State dogs will need a CVI, a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection in addition to the required Rabies, Distemper and kennel cough vaccines.
What is a CVI?
A CVI is an official document provided by your state or federal government to authorized veterinarians certifying the animals listed were healthy at the time of the veterinary inspection.
Where can I obtain a CVI for my pet?
Please contact an accredited veterinarian to obtain a CVI.
How do I know the CVI my veterinarian completed is correct?
A CVI is required to meet the state of destination’s animal importation requirements. Not all states require a CVI for small animal (cats, dogs, pocket pets, etc.) imports. Check with the state of destination for more information. Only an accredited veterinarian can fill out a CVI. They are responsible for filling it out accurately. All sections on the CVI must be completed, i.e. name, addresses, dates and veterinarian information.
