AlpacaFest West Veterinary Requirements and Information

Please note, all animals including companions animals must be checked-in, be registered with Alpaca Registry, Inc, microchipped and meet the health requirements of this show.

Alpaca Health Requirements

All alpacas entered in or present at all AOBA Certified shows must be negative for BVDV by a PCR or VI lab test and said negative results shall be indicated on the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI). No other BVDV test results will be accepted. You must bring both the original of the CVI and a photocopy. We are required to keep the photocopy for our records. You must have the original CVI with you for transporting your alpacas to and from the show and for the onsite veterinarian to visually inspect during vet check-in. All animals must be sound, healthy, and free of internal and external parasites.


When you arrive at the show grounds you will be required to go directly to the Vet-Check area. All alpacas will be examined and found to be healthy, and the presence of a microchip will be confirmed before they are allowed into the stalling area. Be sure that the microchip number and BVDV PCR or VI test results are listed on your Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.
