Pet Travel: Vaccination Records

A newbie to the RV world asked a question in one of the RV-related forums I belong to.

He asked about traveling with a pet (in his case, a dog) in different states and if a rabies certification is needed. It probably depends upon the state.

During my travels with my cat Sierra, I have never been asked about her vaccinations. I do keep her vaccinations up-to-date and I also keep her vaccination records in the RV. This is just in case I am asked.

It would be wise to do the same thing for a dog. Just keep its vaccinations current and have copies of its vaccination records with you as you travel.
