does anyone know what blood tests are taken from cats 10 days before they fly? thanks Michelle

Hi Michelle, no it is only dogs. As long as your cat has had his/her injections against cat flu etc then you don't have to do anything. Once you have your import permit, which only took us one week, you then wait until 48 hours before flying and you get your vet or your agent to do the export cert, the vet checks them over, give them frontline and a worm tablet and that's it. It's far less complicated than I thought it was going to be. We are going through Par Air in Colchester. Hope this helps, Zeta

Hi no not according to our vet and agent we are using. Our cat has been injected against cats AIDS etc, we get this done annually. Maybe that's why? I dont know. Best to check with your vet. Thanks Zeta

Hi, my cat didn't need any blood tests just had to make sure all her vaccinations were upto date. The courier we used (pets on the move) picked her up the day before and took her to the vet I think they give them something for tics and a fitness to fly certificate - then they took her to the airport the day after. If you're coming to Perth Byford quarantine station isn't very big and you'll need to book well in advance. When we enquired last August - the first available date was December (our courier checked all these dates for us)
