Lindsay MacDonald Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 My dogs need a rabies shot & testing 180 days later? The shot last for 2 years quarantine period is 10days now? have I got that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearlythere1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi, There are some other things to be done around 45 days prior to shipping, but essentially that seems to be right. We're looking into it at the mo. a third of the time in quarantine, but 4 times the price per night though, so no cheaper.. :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nearlythere1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi again, The blood test is around three weeks after the rabies jab. I think there's a period of 180 days after that. We've got quotes from pet shipping companies as it looks very complicated and costing around £5000 for two small dogs, so don't want to get it wrong. One of ours has just had the blood test and can't travel until 28th Dec. :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearlythere1 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Try getting a couple of quotes, there are quite a few companies around. They ask for the dog sizes etc and explain how the process works too.. Very helpful.. Oh yeah that price didn't include the UK vet fees or transportation to the airport.. :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay MacDonald Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks, we are going it get some quotes but know it's not going to be cheap :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPetairUK Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Basically the important thing is to get the rabies vaccination done, then about 3-4 weeks after get the rabies blood sample taken and then you have to wait at least 180 days after their rabies blood sample. There are soem pre travel bloods and tests. £5000 for two small dogs seems quite a lot - are they super small or medium. and some shippers will offer you the option of getting all the vet work done and collection. Key thing is start early! bob http://www.petairuk.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
