International Travel Information / International Health Certificates (IHC)
***Due to staffing shortages, Kenwood Animal Hospital is only able to provide IHC services to existing KAH clients and a LIMITED number of non-clients. ***
Please read carefully – it is the responsibility of each pet owner to know and understand the rules and requirements for your pet’s specific travel plans.

While the Accredited Veterinarians at Kenwood Animal Hospital are happy to provide appropriate documentation for travel, we are NOT pet travel agencies. If you need assistance with planning your pet’s travel, we recommend you employ the services of a pet relocation company. Depending on your travel plans, we may not be able to accommodate all requests for IHCs.
