Which statement is TRUE regarding health requirements for shipping animals?

The statement indicating that health certificates must accompany any dog, cat, or nonhuman primate transported by a research facility is accurate because it aligns with regulatory requirements enforced by animal care standards. Health certificates serve to ensure that animals are healthy and free from communicable diseases before they are transported. This is especially critical given the potential for disease transmission between animals and the need to protect both animal and human health during transportation.

Health certificates often include details such as the animal's health status, vaccinations, and any medical treatments received, and they are a legal requirement for specific species, particularly companion animals and species recognized as carrying higher risks for public health.

Although health certificates are needed for various species in transit, option B specifically highlights the requirement for dogs, cats, and nonhuman primates, which are frequently subject to strict regulatory scrutiny, thus making this statement true within the context of transportation by research facilities.
