ratsy Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I am going to UK in November and taking 2 dogs with me both of which have come from Spain and have had the rabies vaccination and the positive blood test result. What concerns me is that one of the dogs we have had for 5 years and although she is microchipped we have no proof of when this was done because she was a rescue dog. I do have dated proof of her ear tattoos dating to 2003 and obviously if the chip and the tattoo are on the same dog then this must be the dog that is vaccinated but I am worried that this won't be enough. Also she had her blood test done for rabies last year and has since had her boosters but the blood test result is now dated that her last rabies injection was march 07. I have her Carnet de Santé to show that she was in fact vaccinated again in March 2008 and the rabies certificate with her microchip number on it - does anyone know if this is going to be ok?

Jacqui Too Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm sorry but if you do not have pet passports you will not get them into the UKTake a look at the info in the pets section you will find all you need to knowhttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/465629/ShowPost.aspxhttp://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/465642/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratsy Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 When I asked my vet here in france what I needed he said I had to have the rabies vac + positive blood test result and wait 6 months. What else do I need then, and do you know how I get a uk pet passport in France? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
