What certification can a dog and cat clinic provide under the management of a Category 2 accredited veterinarian?

A dog and cat clinic managed by a Category 2 accredited veterinarian has the authority to issue health certificates for both dogs and cats. This certification is important as it verifies the health status of the animal, ensuring they meet the necessary health requirements set by various jurisdictions for travel, adoption, or sale.

The reason this is significant is that health certificates are essential documents, especially when animals are moved across state lines or internationally, as they often need to prove they are free of diseases or have received specific vaccinations. The accreditation of the veterinarian implies that they have met certain standards and are qualified to assess the health of both species, allowing them to provide the necessary documentation for both cats and dogs.

In contrast, the other options are limited in scope. Vaccination licensing typically pertains to veterinarians providing vaccinations rather than issuing health certificates. Certificates for health only for cats does not reflect the full capacity of what a Category 2 accredited veterinarian can do, and stating health certificates for all pets would incorrectly imply inclusion of other species outside of dogs and cats, which is not the focus of a dog and cat clinic.
