While Austin\u2019s Travis county is not one of those places, many states are instituting health documentation requirements for animals traveling from Texas. The AKC has helpfully created a page listing the state-by-state requirements. We have linked to that page at <a href="https://nagdu.org/screwworm"><span style='color:#3983C4'>NAGDU.org/screwworm</span></a>. In general, states that require documentation are requiring a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, also known as a CVI, issued within 3 to 7 days of travel. We encourage you to check your state\u2019s requirements to determine what documentation you may need to travel home from convention.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>We will not have a vet on-site, but as in the past, NAGDU has found several veterinary clinics near the convention. While we normally do that for veterinary emergencies, this year we have confirmed that they can also provide CVIs for those who need them to travel home. Those clinics are:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Chewy Vet Care The Triangle<br>Phone: (512) 270-4825<br>Address: 4700 W.
