Jo Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just been to the vet and have found out my cat doesn't need the rabies vaccine if I don't intend to take her back to the UK, I thought it was obligatory, also they now do the same rabies vaccine as the UK, i.e. valid for 3 years not just one.

andyh4 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I got a slightly different message from our vet, namely that the vaccine is effective for 3 years (as per the UK) but the validity (if you are crossing borders) is still one year. The recommendation is to renew the vaccine after 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Best to keep all your pets vaccinated against rabies regardless of whether they leave the country or not. It only takes one case to spread and then the authorities will put down those animals in the infected area if they cannot proove vaccination as happened in the SW several years back.Rabies can easily come into the country via clandestine arrivals from N.Africa via Spain on small boats or smuggled easily in cars and camper vans, dosn't take much and my vet advocates yearly vaccinations because of this and so does the préfet of this dept.
