GPTCA — Global Pet Travel Certificate Assistant

International pet health certificates, done right the first time.

A guided workflow for veterinary clinics: enter the pet, the destination, and the trip window — the tool computes every blocking requirement, pins it to a dated government source, and keeps an audit log of every step.

Dogs & cats · USA origin · 132 destination countries · Outbound + return-to-USA

Every rule is cited

Each step carries direct links to the APHIS and destination-government pages it came from, plus the date RAM verified it. No more screenshot-a-PDF guesswork.

It says “no” when it should

If a client's travel window can't satisfy a 180-day titer wait or a 42-day import-permit rule, the tool proves it — step, math, and citation — before work begins.

Versioned & auditable

Every case is pinned to the rule version in effect the day it was opened. Every step change is append-only logged. A complete exhibit if a certificate is ever challenged.

How it works

From intake to endorsed certificate

Vet_Tool is a browser-based workflow for the clinic team — the USDA-accredited DVM, the vet tech, the front-desk coordinator. Staff open a case for the pet, pick the destination, and the tool computes a country-specific checklist in seconds. Over the weeks leading up to travel, the team checks off each step; when every blocking requirement clears, the case is marked ready for endorsement.

Scope, v1

Dogs and cats originating in the USA, traveling to any of 132 destination countries currently in the rule set. Outbound certificates plus optional return-to-USA leg.

Inputs

Pet details · microchip · owner contact · destination · earliest and latest possible departure dates · return-trip flag.

Outputs

Timeline of every blocking and advisory step with real calendar windows · plain-English infeasibility explanations · printable case summary · JSON export · audit event log.

Kept current

Ongoing human-reviewed regulatory sync by RAM. Cases opened before a rule change keep their original rules pinned — no silent drift across an active case.
