    My daughter wants to bring a cat back with her to Canada from Costa Rica. She’s going to carry it on but she has to change planes in the USA. As far as she can tell all she needs is an International Health Certification (I think it’s called). Does anyone know a good, honest vet who can do this for her in San Jose area or other? Thanks.

    Hello ssure, When I left CR, Dr. Starke gave me all the paperwork I needed to bring my daughter’s cat and her puppy back to the US which both rode alongside my seat on the plane on two separate occasions. He was always a good vet and made sure I had all the paperwork I needed.

    I did not use any connecting flights, but I can tell you that I had absolutely no problems bringing them in. I would check with the airlines to see how they handle the plane change. Here’s the info I have for him:

    My girlfriend takes her chihuahua to “Pet Vet” in Santa Ana (Next to the Mega Super Supermarket) and they have always provided a great service, the Doc speaks English and he can get certification papers approved quickly for a modest fee. I highly recommend it.
