What do you need for pet shipping to or from Richmond, TX?
Before hiring a Richmond, VA, pet transport company, adhere to these simple steps. These steps should comply with local regulations and ensure your pet is healthy enough to travel.
First, obtain a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection from a licensed vet within 10 days of travel.
Also, secure a rabies vaccination certificate within 30 days before transport.
Some Richmond pet transport companies provide carriers; if not, you’ll need to buy one. The carrier must allow your pet to stand, sit, and turn around, provide ventilation, have a solid bottom and close securely.
If you're transporting young animals, the carrier needs padded walls.
Confirm the carrier meets airline requirements if you will bring it on the flight.
