One of the best sources for all of your questions is your vet.
It's not just what customs may require, but what might happen where you are going.
-Most US locations will mean treatment for lime disease. My home territory requires that now too.
-Heart disease pill for other locations.
I always ask and try to get it all done within 30 days of my travel start date.
Re. the border vets I had in Newfoundland all said get a health certificate. Vets I have had on this side of The Gulf also say get a health certificate. & what difference does that make to you anyway. You're making a routine annual check up trip to the vet, eh!!
Plus, remember to make sure the pet food can be bought on both sides of the border. Either set of border guards can confiscate your pet food, should they be told to enforce that particular regulation. There has been bird flu this year (our country). & that just about guarantees somebody will have to turn over their pet food.
