What is a fit to fly certificate?

A fit to fly certificate is a document provided by your Pawssum vet that confirms a pet's fitness to travel by air. It is typically required by airlines and may be necessary for international travel or to travel with certain breeds of pets. The certificate verifies that the pet is in good health, has all necessary vaccinations, and is not carrying any infectious diseases that could pose a risk to other animals or people on the plane. The certificate usually includes details such as the pet's identification information, vaccination records, and the veterinarian's contact information.

It's important to note that the requirements for a fit to fly certificate may vary depending on the airline and destination, so it's best to check with your airline and veterinarian to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation before you travel with your pet.
