How long after rabies vaccine and chip can my dog travel to UK?

If you are planning to export him to Europe, then you should first look up all of the requirements needed for the specific country you are going to. You can find this information at the Country's agriculture import website. When you find the information, you should read it thoroughly and get a good understanding of the requirements prior to having his next vaccine. Many times these countries require the dog be microchipped in order for the vaccine to be valid. Also, you will want to make sure you get the appropriate microchip ( Usually the ISO chip). Marlo should get his next vaccine around 10- 11 weeks. I would first make sure that you have a vet who is certified to sign health certificates. If they are not, then find one that is and make appointments with only that vet in the future. Preferably you want to see a vet that has experience in overseas exports. All of this will help you avoid mistakes and having problems when exporting Marlo. I hope that helps and all goes well.

This is dependent upon your area. It depends on the microchip company and relationship with the vet clinic, some registration fees are rolled into the chip, others require a fee for the vet to place the chip and a separate fee for the company to register it. It depends on your area as to if the rabies is good for 1 year or 3 years as they often have different prices. You will need a health exam and health certificate 10 days prior to flights for the your puppy to travel with you. Your vet can review the paperwork needed for him to enter that country without problems, as different areas have specific requirements which can greatly alter the price.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would suggest working with a Vet who is USDA accredited. They can help you follow the very exact and time sensitive protocols required to transport animals from the US to other countries. If Luna hasn’t been microchipped then do that and repeat theRabies vaccine. I hope this helps!

Yes, they can be vaccinated for rabies at 12weeks, they must be microchpped and have an eu pet passport. Tapeworm treatments are required depending upon where you travel from, certain none eu countries require additional health certificates also

There should be no problem with taking your dog on a trip after he gets his rabies shot - he may be a bit sore and lethargic for a day or two after getting the vaccine, but otherwise he should be fine.

You are correct, the first rabies vaccine is only good for one year. After that, depending on where you live, the next rabies vaccine could be good for three years. Some cities/states still require the rabies vaccine to be given every year though so you need to check what the law is in your area. Your vet will know. All, that being said, with her rabies vaccine being overdue - you need to update it as soon as possible and it may only be marked good for one year because you are overdue. Again, you must check with your vet regarding your local laws. Regardless, you need to get her rabies vaccine booster as soon as you can. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes!

Yes sure certain Rabies vaccinations (only certain formulations) needs to be repeated two times 3-4 weeks apart to be effective.
