Digital Rabies Vaccination Certificates

The GlobalVetLink platform brings you quick, convenient rabies certificates.

Proof of rabies vaccination is required when traveling with animals in some states and countries. Rabies is a viral disease that spreads through the saliva of infected animals.

GlobalVetLink provides veterinarians and animal owners with a convenient and quick digital solution to rabies vaccination certificates.

How long are rabies certificates valid?

Some rabies vaccinations are valid for one year, while others are valid for three years. Many states require yearly rabies vaccinations for dogs, cats, ferrets and horses.

Do all states require a rabies vaccination?

The short answer: no. While most states regulate the frequency of vaccinations and who may administer the rabies vaccination, there are some states that do not require their owner to vaccinate their pet for rabies. According to the AVMA the, “While some states have adopted statewide mandated vaccinations for dogs and cats against rabies, others delegate that decision to local governments such as counties. Some states only include rabies vaccination as a requirement for import into the state.”
