Agency: Department of Food and Agriculture
CVI Required: Yes - for dogs
Rabies Required: Yes
Doobert.com has been obtaining permission to use photo images of CVIs and health certificates as proof that the paper certificates were completed within 10 days. This way, the paper certificates do not need to be transported with the animals reducing the opportunity for them to be lost in the handover from one transporter to the next.
