Pet Passport - Rabies Vaccination

[lapin2008 1,587]

Has anyone got their dogs a pet passport? The process is pretty easy and the cost of getting them across on the ferry to Europe is similar to the cost of kennels for a couple of weeks but....

 

I have just taken my two lurchers to the vets today for the rabies vaccination and its cost me £140 for 2, has anyone had it done and what did it cost?

 

Cheers

Dom

I recently sent a pup overseas & i am fairly certain that it worked out at around £150 for everything,which included puppy jabs,rabies,microchip,pet passport,worming & fitness to fly certificate etc etc.

Seems on the top side what you have been charged,if i am remembering right !!

2 of my pups went to the US and Finland at 10 weeks old (2 years ago) and they didn't need a rabies jab. All they needed was a microchip, worming and flea tick treatment and a fit to travel certificate from the vet cost about £50 a pup... They only needed a rabies jab if they were over 12 weeks.

Thanks for the replies,

I know the whole process in terms of the visit to the vet etc before you head back. It was more the cost of the rabies vac that took me by suprise. I suppose I was trying to figure out how the cost of rabies vac at the vets I used compare to other vets..

A lot of changes took place in Jan of this year & i also got conflicting "facts" from DEFRA & the country where the pup was going. I would double check on everything well before any date of travel.

Thanks, I spoke to the vet about it when i took them for the vaccination as the rules have been simplified this year, all the dogs need.is micro chip, and a rabies vacination for the passport and thats it. They are also not allowed to travel within 21 days of the vaccination. Other then that you need to take them to visit a vet before you bring them home less than 5 days before you travel back.
