A GlobalVetLink Rabies Vaccination Certificate is a digital document that serves as proof for the pet owner that their animal has been vaccinated against rabies. Our certificates contain all data fields found on NASPHV Form 51 and are backed by SmartCert Technology, which ensures authenticity and integrity through advanced security measures, including fraud-resistant watermarking, unique QR codes for instant verification, and secure digital sharing. The certificates are available for dogs, cats, and horses.
GlobalVetLink automates the entire rabies certificate submission process. With just a few clicks, you can generate and submit rabies vaccination certificates directly to towns and municipalities as required by law. The platform automatically identifies reporting requirements based on the pet’s location and your clinic’s location, then instantly submits completed certificates to the appropriate regulatory authorities. This saves hundreds of hours per year by eliminating manual submission tasks and ensuring all deadlines are met effortlessly.
SmartCert Technology integrates digital authenticity, verification, and SOC-2 security into your rabies certificates. Each certificate features a unique, randomly generated QR code located at the bottom right near the veterinarian’s signature. When scanned with a mobile device, the QR code directs users to a web page displaying certificate-specific data. Users can instantly verify that the information matches the hard copy certificate. If the information doesn’t match or no information is displayed, the certificate can be identified as fraudulent or invalid.
GlobalVetLink Rabies Vaccination Certificates cost $3.00 per certificate on an Advantage plan and $5.50 per certificate on a Starter plan. There are no monthly minimums or subscription requirements, and you get unlimited user accounts for veterinarians and staff at your practice. This affordable pricing structure allows you to create as many or as few certificates as needed without committing to a minimum volume.
GlobalVetLink offers Rabies Vaccination Certificates for dogs (canines), cats (felines), and horses (equines). The platform streamlines the vaccination documentation process for all three species with a simple workflow for certificate creation. Whether you operate a companion animal practice, equine practice, or mixed practice, you can issue digital rabies certificates for your patients.
Yes. Pet owners can access their pets’ rabies vaccination certificates through a secure online portal called MyVetLink. This secure digital access enhances customer satisfaction and trust in your veterinary services. Pet owners can view, download, and print their certificates at any time, reducing the need for phone calls to your practice for certificate copies and making it easy for them to provide proof of vaccination when required.
Rabies vaccination validity depends on the type of vaccine and local regulations. Dogs and cats are first vaccinated between 3 and 6 months of age, then need a booster one year later. After that, they’re generally vaccinated every three years, though some states or municipalities require annual vaccinations. GlobalVetLink automatically calculates the vaccination expiration date based on the USDA-licensed vaccine duration (1 year or 3 years) you select, calculating it as 1 year minus 1 day or 3 years minus 1 day from the vaccination date. The system allows you to edit this date if needed to comply with specific local requirements.
No. Rabies Vaccination Certificates do not require regulatory authority endorsement. Once you sign the certificate in GlobalVetLink, it is complete and can be provided to the pet owner immediately. However, the platform automatically submits certificates to the relevant local authorities (towns, municipalities, counties) where reporting is required by law and when enabled in your account, thereby eliminating the manual submission burden for your practice.
No. Rabies reporting requirements vary by location. Many states have mandatory rabies reporting at the state, county, or municipal levels, but requirements differ significantly. GlobalVetLink’s intelligent system automatically identifies whether reporting is required based on the pet’s location and your clinic’s location. When reporting is required, the platform automatically submits the certificate to the appropriate authorities. Your practice doesn’t need to track these varying requirements—GlobalVetLink handles it automatically.
Yes. The vaccination information from the rabies certificate is automatically saved to the animal’s record, making it easy to include on health certificates for domestic or international travel. This integration streamlines your workflow and ensures consistency across all documents for the same animal.
