Sammy1 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I love animals and would never want to leave one behind, but is it really safe for a 17 year old be put through that stressful flight and then quarantine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPetairUK Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hey. Sammy, i think you may have got the wrong end of the stick! Have another read and you will see what i mean:) Seren. The rabies work can start now. The dogs need a microchip, a rabies vaccination and then a rabies blood sample around 1 month after the vaccination, then they can leave UK 180 days after teh rabies blood sample. So it takes at least 7 months to prepare a dog. Pleas start nice and early! Perth has closed and will never re-open, so your dogs will need to go from UK to Sydney and then do an internal flight over to Perth. We can help with all of that, but it does just make it a big deal. The 10 day quarantine reduces your costs and worry for the pets, but the internal flight kind of negates that I am afraid. I hope that helps and any other questions give us a call. Bob http://www.petairuk.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seren66 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thank you, They already both have a microchip : ) regarding the rabies inj how long will that last? is it a year? so if I have the inj done now then bloods in a month but don't end up going for a while will I have to repeat the inj again?

BobPetairUK Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The rabies vaccinations last for 3 years normally, but the blood samples last for 2 years, so bear that in mind with your planning. Basically are you going within 2 years - get started! If you are not going within 2 years then hold tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
