I am European, and I am returning to Europe with my dog and he has a Pet passport, so he doesnt need the USDA certificate but it seems I cannot find a sincgle vet that issues a simple Health Certificate for my airline... Can you guys help?

Hello, thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble receiving a Health Certificate. You should not need a health certificate if your dog has a valid rabies vaccine issued by an EU veterinarian. However, if you're having issues with the airline, maybe share the government link with this information with the airline. According to the USDA, If this is a non-commercial movement (i.e., no more than 5 pets, the pet is not being transferred to a new owner or sold, and the pet is moving within 5 days before or after the owner or designated person*) and the rabies vaccination recorded in the EU Pet Passport is still valid and was recorded by an EU veterinarian, the pet will only need the EU Pet Passport to travel back to the EU. If the rabies vaccination recorded in the EU Pet Passport has expired and the pet requires revaccination in the U.S. or was already revaccinated while in the U.S., you will need to obtain an EU Health Certificate issued (completed and signed) by a USDA Accredited Veterinarian and endorsed (counter-signed and stamped) before the pet leaves the U.S. Source: www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel/another-country-to-us-import/pet-passports-european-union I hope this helps
