Testing, Certificates, and Inspections
When are horse inspections required?
From the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Inspection Requirements and Fees page: All horses must be inspected for brands or other proof of ownership at the following points. Both branded and unbranded horses must be inspected. Change of ownership inspections for horses are not required but they are recommended, especially if the horse is branded.
- Before leaving Washington state.
- Exception – horses may be moved out-of-state without an inspection if they are destined for a public livestock market in another state where WSDA brand inspectors are stationed to perform inspection for Washington horses. At this time, this exception only applies the Lewiston Livestock Market in Lewiston, Idaho and the Northwest Livestock Commission in Hermiston, Oregon. Horses must be accompanied by a Washington certificate of permit (haul slip) and one of the markets above must be listed as the destination of the horses on the haul slip.
- When offered for sale at any public livestock market or special sale.
- When offered for sale at any open consignment horse sale.
Domestic and International Health Certificates
- Domestic health certificates can be necessary with a pet is traveling between states or moving to a new state, typically a rabies vaccine is required for any dog above 12-16 weeks (depending on the state). We can help navigate the concerns with travel to get you and your pet there safely.
- Hawaii, being an island, requires specialized testing and vaccine history. Transporting your pet to Hawaii takes additional steps and time, please make sure you plan appropriately and contact us for details.
- International health certificates can be frought with challenges since every country has its own requirements. We work with APHIS to make sure that we can help you with your travel. Please understand that many requirements are changing and we do our best to keep abreast of them.
- CDC
- The CDC has a form required for dogs to enter to US, please make sure that you are aware and prepared with this form to avoid getting held up upon entry to the US.
FAVN Testing
FAVN (Fluorescent Antibody Virus Neutralization) testing for dogs is a diagnostic test used to measure the level of rabies antibodies in a dog’s blood. This test is typically required for international (or Hawaii) travel to ensure that a dog has an adequate immune response to rabies after vaccination. The FAVN test helps confirm whether the dog’s rabies vaccination has provided sufficient protection, typically showing the presence of antibodies against the rabies virus. This test can take 4-6 weeks to be returned, please plan accordingly
