Call your pet's veterinarian and check:
- Is the veterinarian accredited to issue an International Health Certificate?
- How much does it cost for a visit and the Certificate?
- How long in advance do you need to schedule an appointment?
I suggest that you ask the veterinarian if he/she can specifically name infectious diseases particular to your area that your pet has been cleared of. In Brazil, I was informed by animal health officers that my pet's health certificate should state that she had no symptoms of any kind of myiasis, a concern for dogs coming from Brazil.
Although the pet admission guidelines on the Brazilian Embassy in Washington website include no such specifics, I would still talk to the vet about them.
