State Health Requirements

Each individual state sets the health requirements which must be met by animals coming into their state. For example, animals transported across state lines into North Carolina require a certificate of veterinary inspection completed by a licensed and accredited veterinarian. This certificate is completed by a veterinarian at the origin of the shipment. State veterinarians determine the requirement for such entry.

The major purpose is to safeguard the health of animal populations. These state requirements are subject to periodic changes; therefore, it is impossible to provide a current set of requirements of each of the states.
