I know it sounds like a lot, but a simple travel certificate, or a health certificate (whatever your vet calls it) that you get no more than 7 days before your flight will qualify most airlines, and states pet travel requirements.
Yes, this. Most airlines don't actually require the health certificate to fly in the cabin, but the state you are traveling to/from may require one. I have never been asked to show one, but I can't imagine chancing it and then being stuck somewhere, or worse yet what happens to my girls if it is the state's Department of Agriculture asking me?

I wouldn't chance it. It's no big deal. You just go to the vet and they look over your dog, make sure they don't have any infectious diseases and sign the form with all their vaccination dates on them.
