Don't Miss This Live Free CE Webinar on Pet Travel Readiness
Veterinary professionals have only a few days left to register for an upcoming live continuing education webinar focused on an important but often overlooked part of veterinary practice: preparing pets for safe air travel.
Vet and Tech will host the free webinar, "What Veterinary Teams Need to Know About Pet Travel Readiness" on November 11, 2026, at 8:00 PM US Eastern Time.
Led by Dr. Nelva Bryant, DVM, an experienced airline industry veterinarian and pet travel expert, the session will explore why completing a veterinary health certificate does not necessarily mean a pet is ready to travel.
With the event approaching, veterinary professionals who have not registered yet are encouraged to reserve their free spot and join the live discussion.
Why Veterinary Teams Should Look Beyond Health Certificates
Pet travel requests are becoming a regular part of veterinary practice. Clients often approach their veterinary clinics for health certificates when planning domestic or international trips with their pets.
Airline requirements, destination-specific regulations, travel timelines, and an animal's fitness for transport can all affect travel readiness.
When veterinary teams become involved only at the final health certificate appointment, important considerations may be overlooked, leaving little time to address potential issues before departure.
This is why early involvement from veterinary professionals is important.
Sponsored by PadsPass, this webinar highlights the importance of a more comprehensive approach to pet travel readiness. By bringing attention to the challenges veterinary teams and pet owners face, the session will explore how professionals can improve travel consultations and help clients make better-informed preparations before departure.
What Will You Learn During the Live Webinar?
The session will draw on preliminary insights from the When Pets Fly Veterinary Pet Travel Education Interest Survey, highlighting common gaps in pet travel preparation and areas where veterinary teams may need additional guidance.
Participants will explore:
- Typical pet travel preparation requests received by veterinary clinics.
- The least understood requirements involved in preparing pets for travel.
- Common mistakes veterinary teams and pet owners make during travel preparation.
- Why a completed health certificate does not automatically mean an animal is ready to fly.
- Ways to improve safety, consistency, and confidence when managing pet travel cases.
- How to use the When Pets Fly Pet Travel Readiness Assessment system.
The session will also introduce Veterinary Air-Travel Medicine as an emerging approach to managing pet travel cases beyond certificate completion.
