I guess we will get Health Cert. for Ohio. We travel with a binder that has: vaccine records for each dog, their picture, and their info (date of birth, names and call name, microchip info) and their regular vet name and phone number. If going to shows, the show info goes in the binder. If visiting relatives, the info of someone at the point of destination is included. You never know when you can get sick, or have an accident. There is also a document that asks that my brother be called if we are not able to take care of the dogs. As we travel with our dogs all the time, we have never needed a health certificate while driving, but one has always been requested (and secured) when flying with dogs. Here is the funny thing: Not ONCE in 20+ years has any airline employee even looked at the health certificate. We still get them, just in the off chance that one day someone will do their job right <G>. Ileana In a message dated 7/16/2009 9:25:15 P.M.

I received this response from Ohio when I questioned the need for health certs when flying or driving, into their state: "The dog will need to be accompanied by a certificate of veterinary inspection issued within 30 days prior to entry and a current rabies vaccination.
