DoA Veterinary Services Christmas Notice
The Christmas Season is already upon us, and once again, we are pleased to offer an extra 7-days validity for health certificates, extending their ‘lifespan’ from 14 days to 21 days when approved and returning to your destination.
This 7-day extension facilitates a less burdensome and hectic experience for staff, clients, vet clinics, and brokers alike given office closures and inclement weather factors during the holiday season.
The dates for the 2024 – 2025 season are December 16, 2024 to January 6, 2025, meaning that any health certificate issued within this timeframe will be eligible for an extension once approved by the Veterinary Services Section.
To benefit from this extension:
1. Only applicable to pets who have met DoA’s import requirements in full
2. Ensure that your Local Veterinarian indicates the extension request on your Export Health Certificates
3. Email the Department at ci.agricultureVS@gov.ky requesting the extension.
For more information, please contact the Veterinary Services Team at 947-3090 or email us at CI.AgricultureVS@gov.ky
Best wishes for the Holiday’s
