I've read through previous posts regarding moving with cat(s), and I've found the documents needed on the MAFF & USDA sites.
My vet is not USDA accredited and isn't familiar with the process; she wants me to hire a third party to facilitate. That seems like overkill, since the requirements & timing are pretty straightforward. I'll also be moving to a different state prior to emigrating, and using a different vet for the health certificate.
It seems like it's not until the Notification of Import (40+ days from arrival) when you receive Form AC, which is what gets signed off by a USDA accredited vet & submitted for the Health Certificate (10 days from arrival). So my question is how do I handle transferring the process between vets?
Should my local vet fill out Form AC as the vaccines & bloodwork are done, and bring it (along with papers from each visit) to the final USDA Vet? I just want to make sure that things are documented appropriately so the Health Certificate clears.
TIA!
