Subject: [NAGDU-Announce] Important information for convention attendees regarding veterinarians and travel documentation requirements due to new world screwworm

 

Dear Federation Family:

As you may have heard, there have been infestations of New World Screwworm in parts of Texas. While Austin’s 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  <https://nagdu.org/screwworm> NAGDU.org/screwworm. 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’s requirements to determine what documentation you may need to travel home from convention.

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:

Chewy Vet Care The Triangle
Phone: (512) 270-4825
Address: 4700 W. Guadalupe St, Bldg A, Ste A-1, Austin, TX 78751

Burnet Road Animal Hospital
Phone: (512) 342-1710
Address: 8511 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX 78757

Please note that neither clinic will be open on July 4, but the Chewy clinic can provide emergency vet referrals.

Lets go build the Federation!

Yours,

The NAGDU Board

Here is more vet info for those attending our national convention.

I don’t know if New Jersey or New York have implemented restrictions on dogs returning from Texas.

Hi everyone!

The 2 locations listed are not the best options for CVIs because the Burnet Road one has no availability during convention and Chewy Vet Clinic told me that Ivan would have to have 2 appointments to get the CVI. So I called a third option this morning that you guys might want to know about it is called Austin Urban Veterinary Clinic and they said they would call me back once the doctor knew when i was traveling so that they knew when to schedule the appointment so it seems promising 

Warm regards,

Morgan A Estes

NJ has not yet implemented restrictions. I am told I will be given a heads-up when they do so I will alert folks in NJ once I have something to share.

Please note that neither clinic will be open on July 4, but the Chewy clinic can provide emergency vet referrals.

Lets go build the Federation!
