Find a USDA-accredited vet

531 accredited vets across LA county. Maybe 60–80 actually do international certs.

USDA-accredited ≠ international cert experience.

All 531vets below are USDA-accredited — they’re authorized to issue health certificates. But realistically, only ~20-30% actively handle international cert work, and even fewer know the specific requirements for any given destination.

Call ahead to confirm. Crowdsourced so far: 0 confirmed international · 0 declined international · 531 unverified.

Or skip the cold calls — the $29 readiness analysis includes a pre-screened vet shortlist within 80 miles of your ZIP.

Sample call script

Most front desks will say “we’re USDA-accredited” without telling you whether the actual vet on staff handles international certs. Cut through it:

“Hi — I’m moving my [dog/cat] to [destination country] and I need an international health certificate. Do you have a vet on staff who actually handles international certs — specifically for [destination] — and submits via VEHCS to APHIS? I’m happy to wait for them to call me back.”

Then report what they saidusing the “+ Report what you learned” toggle on each clinic card. The next pet owner saves the hour.
